This morning I woke up and checked my phone as usual, checked my WhatsApp status – 15 people photos with their father wishing them happy father’s day, then I scrolled my Facebook account from top to bottom I only saw people photographs with parents and wishing their life’s super hero their own day. And then instagram every social media was celebrating the so called Father’s Day.
I was like what? Like seriously??Half of their parents might not be even on these social medias. Is it the right place to show the emotions and attachment with their parents they have.
These days we like to stay nuclear, either being in a family or being bachelor, but wants to celebrate all the important occasions on virtual memories. Like yeah!! Happy birthday cutipie, Finally placed. Are these places helps us to give real happiness.
Visiting a new unusual happening place, even natural tragedies are now getting updated giving their proof of intense urge of showing the world how much excited we are. Do we realise it’s just a social media?
These days travelling somewhere without updating is a crime, and unique yo yo selfies are compulsion. I still remember one evening I visited to India gate and saw each and every people over there were just busy to take selfie and selfie. Are these selfies proofs of reliving your moment of life.
I understand people in life are so important and we want them to get connected but I ask everyone, is it correct to put each and every important moments on social media like an exhibition, rather I feel the immense love and happiness, fear of sorrow, breakup or marriage, birth or funeral, should be kept locked safely in our heart. Are these happiness monitored by us just a click away.

Shraddha… that is my exact thinking… I keep putting this in my facebook posts always…making fun of people doing wishing on facebook…to their parents… even to their children who are so young that they cant even read! Basically a show off… just to put a picture that .. they have a loving relationship… Glad that atleast someone thinks like me.. Cheers!

Couldn’t agree more…I really hate this exhibitionism…Even though at times am also guilty of doing it…I have seen couples wishing each other happy anniversary on Facebook and itched to ask…are they not on talking terms at home… FOMO is catching up us all…I wish we could go back to old days…

Great post…so true. I first noticed how people were letting real life pass them by at a concert several years ago. The tickets were about $30 and the band came on stage and started playing. I was watching the singer and guitarist and drummer doing their thing with my actual eyeballs. Everyone else in the club was looking at the stage through their phones, obviously filming it so they could post it on Facebook the next day. Why in the world would someone spend $30 and hang out in a crowded club just to stare through a phone, something you can do for free at home?

I like this thoughtful post 🙂 Sometimes I wonder if technology takes away from the experience of a moment. For example, if we spend so much time taking selfies and sharing them online and responding to comments, our attention is focused on our interactions online, rather than on the present reality. For this reason I try to unplug when I am exploring a new place or when I am really trying to spend time with someone special.
Thanks for stopping by my blog 🙂

Can feel what you are trying to say here! I strongly believe this too! And cant understand so much personal sharing of wishes over social media! It’s so cold and useless! Even wishes which earlier used to be via personal visits were replaced by phone calls and now even phone calls are replaced by whatsapp and fb wishes! I hate it all! 🙅

Wonderful thought
A single line that can help you transcend beyond the worldly worries
But we are bound to be hold by the virtues and intricacies of life and relationships. We therefore have to go through everything with utmost care and conscience.
We cannot choose the path of a saint – but to cross all the roads of social word and yet keep the calm.

Reality of life
Nothing essentially changes because in the roots of our thinking we are biased.
The only time things will change when parents start to treat their children equally, when a mother teaches her son values, when a woman who has seen life doesn’t change her opinion later in point because now she is out of those shoes.
Lot of prejudice and blind thoughts are root of our society – to be able to break them and establish a newer more harmony structure is something we crave – but there is only a negligible amount of work done in that direction.
To be clear in the mind and heart – is a big challenge.
Life is not fair
To fight and stand for values
Takes a lot – sometimes your life.
We can spread awareness but the true revolution would happen when the thought comes from within.
Education and true education can uplift us.

I was thinking of exactly the same thing the moment I saw the flood of posts on Facebook. Of course, I respect their way of expressing their love, but I feel like it is better kept personal and genuine. Sadly, most people are only showing up on social media. I have never posted anything like that on facebook, Instead, I make sure my parents know and feel I care for them every day, personally, and not on a specific, commercialized day of the year. Good to know I am not alone. 🙂

Argh! I’ve been thinking the same. I get that social media is convenient to update family and friends who are not close by. But whatever happened to asking a stranger to take a photo like we used to do in the old days (right before this whole selfie craze). Worse than that is the selfie craze at places where atrocities happen. Fine, take a picture by all means (people have been doing that since cameras became available for the masses). But that grinning and pointing, and sharing it on social media really makes you wonder what made half the world population (being generous here) so tone deaf all of a sudden.

You just spoke my mind with this whole online love with photos and love messages on social media. I choose to stay away from wishing media and posted a tongue-in-cheek humor instead. I am very anti-selfie which is one of my pet peeves…very rarest occasions that I choose to post one just to experiment. It gets too much on the head….wedding, dear husband or wife showering so much sugary stuffs.
