A picture paints a thousand words. Does it matter what’s interpreted in the frame? I thought it did but sadly the reality is, it doesn’t.<\/p>\n

I realized the platonic truth through a recent experiment of mine. It all started when I joined a social portal and I’ve registered myself with the status “single”. “Why do you bother putting down the details in your profile? Nobody reads it anyway” my friend nudged me sarcastically online as I excitedly shared with her my new found web interest. My response to her was, “Well, it will matter to those who are keen to know my well being. It opens up an opportunity, an invitation so I may claim for a date. My optimism didn’t delight her.<\/p>\n
