Selfie Era

I was trying to make my way out of a crowd carefully taking every step scared of my new shoes. Someone behind me yelled "Selfie". As if auto programmed , my hand moved to adjust my hair and my mouth started to smile. I almost posed for the photo causing a pause in the unordered line behind me. I heard the voice for a couple of times more and then realized it was a mom calling her daughter "Selvi". I laughed at myself and looked around slyly to check if anyone has noticed my Selfie addiction. I could feel a lot of sly smiles around. I realised that i was not alone in the Selfie addict list.

Why Selfie? Selvi sorry Selfie is a major part of our life. Most of us take more than 3 selfie per day on a average. This selfie are either shared or forgotten as we pose for the next one. I skimmed through my gallery and found more than a 200 pics of me with various emotes and different places. Do I feel so lost? I wondered. It was originally a marketing gimmick to sell cellphones with Front camera. But now it is a important criteria in the phone buying guide. Is selfie a replacement of our almost extinct traditional relationship? Are we trying to connect with our loved ones through them? Are we craving for attention? Is it way to overcome our insecurities or creating them for that instance? Whatever the reason is it is a major part of our life

Is it safe? It is true we have instances of people losing their lives immersed in the selfie world. But who do we blame for it. The selfies or the carelessness of the people. Or should we at all blame someone? Scientifically is it safe? The gama radiation passing through the electronic medium can affect the melanin cells of the facial tissue and activate them resulting in severe addictosyndrome. It is not proved neither does it exist. It just means that I do not have data on it.

Whatever said and clicked. If it can bring a smile on the sender and the receiver's face, It might not be bad as it is perceived. But it is advisable to also check the location as you correct your hair and mascara. Just to be on the safer and cuter side. Happy clicking folks

Hey Ocean, Here I come

If you could plan your death, how would you plan it? #PlanUrDeath  This is a very interesting thought. The thought itself is enough to chill our bones. Death is something which is beyond our control. It is the unconquered kingdom. It is something which we cannot predict nor decide. It happens in its own phase, in its own time and in its own style. Still given as a chance. It would be the most exciting and interesting event to plan.  My death will be combination of the things I love. I would try to make it as interesting as possible.  Goodbyes are very important to me. It gives a proper ending to our life. The problem with death is we never have time for good bye. The person suddenly disappears leaving a vacuum behind. This leaves the loved ones feeling lost. I will write a proper goodbye to all the important friends and enemies. Sometimes the people who make us cry are the people who has created a great impact on them. I would try to forgive the people who have hurt...

Rock to Sculpture

Every person we meet creates an impact on us. The way the impact works is quite surprising. Sometimes the impact created by a stranger is more than the impact by a close friend. I always consider life as a block of coal or a big piece of rock. The journey from Coal to diamond or Rock to sculpture takes a lot of time and can also be painful. It does not happen with a single person or with a single incidence. The conversation process is continuous and can happen till our last breath. We get better and better with age and experience. I have never managed to understand when a person reaches his best. Maybe the level is unattainable. Still changes, both ups and downs happen throughout our lives. I remember an innocent hyper girl who wore sensitivity on her sleeve. The smallest spark was enough to set her on fire. She was on the extreme of emotions. The emotions can range from Happiness, sorrow, loneliness and anger. Still the emotions controlled her and stole her sleep many nights. ...

30 minutes

The train came to a halt with a jerk. I gripped the support railing for balance. So did the people around me. Something felt different. The people and the surrounding was new and strange. I felt as though I was transported magically to an alien land. The people around me was busy in their own world. Some in their thoughts and some in their phones. At every stop a war brewed between passengers fighting over to get down and trying to board the train. I calmly stood there trying to understand the surroundings. Yet I could sense a Storm inside me. Like a programmed robot, I got down in a station. I stood there watching the train continue its journey. It was then I realised. Where the hell am I and who am I. I had no memory of both the things or anything for that matter. I sat in the nearest stone bench and tried to absorb the activity around me. I glanced at the phone and it read 9.00 pm. I tried to make a call and could not remember the pattern. The activity around me slowly became thinn...
