Socially online!
Whats wrong with people? there seems to be no relevance of the word "private" these days. You go on a holiday and post your pics for the world to see. You go shopping and you post your pics for the world to see. I have even seen people sharing pics of them cleaning themselves inside a bathroom! i mean what the heck?? Have we got nothing else more worthwhile to do than to display ourselves posing inside our bedrooms?? Not just this, people are going around commenting freely on whats supposed to be your "private" moments with your family or ur friends, for that matter. Privacy of homes is getting encroached upon. Its like living on the streets where everybody can peek in n see what you are upto. Wherever i go, i find people smiling n laughing not at each other but at the camera! these pics are then very enthusiastically posted on facebook. All and sundry, knowns and unknowns, neigbours and frens and almost everybody else even remotely connected to u then turn up to chirp how cool or uncool u looked!
I had once been to a restuarant where three guys beside my table were eating and boozing. I noticed that at regular intervals each of them was clicking pictures of the other. With wine glass in one hand and kebabs in the other, they posed to their best. Just then one of them exclaimed- "wah! kya mast pic aayi h...facebook pe upload karna yaar!". The other joined in with- "haan ghar pahuchte hi saare pics upload kardunga!".
Another thing that really irked me today was that i found myself tagged in a picture of a group of guys, among whom not a single one was known to me! Baffled and bewildered, I realised how my identity was not in my hands. Anybody could use or misuse it the way they wanted.
Incidents such as these have become an everyday affair for me. However the big question staring us is that have our lives reduced to this?? Our world have reduced to the confines of a 14inches screen or rather we have started viewing the world through it! Flowers have become more pleasing on an LCD screen rather than the sight of them blooming in the garden. The sun sets everyday but we never bother to take a moment and witness the marvellous spectra of nature but when a friend shares a pic of the setting sun, we never forget to type a comment on it no matter how busy we are. This is an age where inspite of having the time to go out and "look where squirrels hide their nuts in grass", we chose to stay indoors and see how our friend's friend's neigbour's dog's birthday party went!!
