My daily dose of entertainment these days comes
from the FB post I read on my feed one by one, without seeing who wrote them. It
gives me a chance to snicker, while I wonder if loss of IQ has a correlation
with the amount of time people spend on FB. This is of course after I have “unfollowed”
many people in the last few months, because I do not have the mental bandwidth
to go through all the garbage they spew. From romantic trips in Hawaii to theme
weddings and babies sprouting teeth chewing on organic strawberries, I have
seen it all. It is not so much the news that is distasteful to me as it is the self-aggrandizing
way in which it is portrayed, that seems distasteful. On an average day, when I
read my feed, it looks something like this (note that it is not what one person
writes on their wall, but how different people writing different things appear
on my wall):
Narendra Modi blah blah blah.
Having an awesome time in Uganda. Going to Botswana tomorrow.

[And
why would I want to know that?]
Narendra Modi blah blah blah. Sonia Gandhi blah blah blah.
Production of India's Ambassador car suspended.
My darling son [insert name of baby] just ate an entire banana. Yipee!
Emma Watson graduates from Brown University.
Made goat curry and steamed pulao for lunch. Who wants to come?

[Note: She is actually not inviting anyone.
Just being mean and showing off about how she is eating nice food on Sunday].
Missing you darling. Come back soon.

they are not contacting them directly, unless they are aliens].

I enjoyed this :D :D
And I too often wonder,
what people want to convey when they 'check in at the airports'
or tell that they are listening to 'xyz song'
And worst of all, when a fellow posted an obituary with the photos , i was stupefied ...
.. To add to the tragedy, people even liked the post .. :O :O
I really really love your humorous posts. I think you have a gift. I hate all these self aggrandising posts so much that i closed my facebook account and i think it is one of the best decisions i made ever. I honestly don't have the time and energy to like peoples' one millionth selfie or cringe through their online pda. Thank you for the laugh, i needed it today.
