Amazingly enough social networks, particularly Facebook made things different than we were used to see it. It is kind of home address now. If you don't have one, you are homeless. What is not going there? Meets up, conferences, official chats, personal bonding - you name it. Many would argue that we have stretched it too far and made it like see-me-how-cool-I-am platform but yet I would like to see it in my own angle. It's an opportunity for a friend to know the side of his friend, which probably was unknown to him in those years. And I found people are open to talk about themselves in social networks. May be it is easier to talk to a computer than to a live person. But I found many different sides and shades of persons I used to know. I feel it would never be possible if there was not any Facebook. The people whom you would never had time for a phone call, you atleast would be able to know what he is doing by only reading her status. Which is cool. People get a little caught up and brag a little about every tiny things but hey this is how things are shaping up these days. What I am trying to say is: things are get moving faster than pre facebook age. Things are changing, people are changing and to me change is good.
It came suddenly, stirred my mind and went away. I am talking about the effect of social networking in our lives. I know this has been talked about probably million times. But again, they were not being told by me. I have my own version to say and here I am. Amazingly enough social networks, particularly Facebook made things different than we were used to see it.

It seems like I've taken a break, a little longer than usual. While reading one book of Azar Nafisi's Things I've Been Silent About one thing struck my chord. She asked, if we know the people that are elderly than us, would eventually go away from the world before us, why we don't try to understand them more, why don't we take more time to know them? Why? Why the people we love, be neglected by us most? If only we could be a little patient, had not the things be altered? Had we not become better son or daughter if we could be a less engrossed with only ourselves rather than our dad or mom? It had always been a subject for discussion that we don't value the people we get in our life when they are with us. Only when they are gone we lament and feel how important they were for us. I think it is our one of the many excuses to avoid confrontation with our own. We know it from very beginning that this day would come, yet we take it for granted. Having said all, I mean, we think only about us. We act or lie to us about missing the particular loved ones. I sound ruthless, but to me it's true. Our own life is most precious to us, we remember the person only when we are supposed to get something from her, celebrate our Mother's and Father's day for showing but seldom do care. We are narcissist and hypocrites - Period. |
A little heads upThe Blogorama is collection of my daily blog. Whereas category "Things made my life awesome" talks about my past wonderful experiences in an ascending order, "Now in my mind" says the issues I like my opinion on. "Life, in making" is recently started daily log (not so daily!), "Meditation" is something I come back so often, thought that would interest YOU too. Well, that sums it up (almost). Me,A constant dreamer, believe this is not the end of the world and try to make changes in my own life constantly. Life sometimes went hard and strict-my life's choices would determine whether I have taken them as lessons or punishment. My Quote'If you think someone else is the problem and is not letting you do certain things, that implies you perceive yourself a victim. Being victim is letting the person win. If you really want to make a statement: Ignore him. Blogories
