Wondering today - what is so appealing in being interested in other's life. What are the thrills, what is the curiosity and what is the expectation.What is the entertainment...
Lets take the most common and popular forum today -Facebook. the pursuit begins from being inquisitive to who is writing on who's wall to what he wrote and with what thoughts behind it. The pursuit by the way, ends on our walls.
Such a terrific force that instinctively drives us to judge people, their way of living and their habits.
Every single day we see people who are hooked onto it, an uncontrollable addiction whether they make their presence felt or not - but are there every single day. These days the convenience of being able to view it on your phone at just a click just adds to it.
As far as I am concerned, the Facebook fad is to such an extent that last night while I was fast asleep, I groggily told Nirish that he was my wall. So uncanny right? and when he asked what kind of a wall, I said Facebook wall - I can write anything on it and go back for reflection and recollection.
I remembered today morning that I had, in earnest meant to say that he was my wall to bounce off my thoughts, petty worries and confusions and feel relieved that its off my back,and it was unbelievable that I expressed it in this manner - contrast it against Facebook!!So much for expressing emotions!
From personal or professional announcements, pompous statements,opinions,quotes,advertisements,emotional displays, uploading pictures to just a plain listless medium to fill in time.. It has it all!
Its amusing now, when my aged folks want to know about someone and the latest tittle-tattle, they suggest log into Facebook and give us the low down.
The profile pictures speak a thousand words, of the person itself , of their relationships, of their interests, of their opinions and views. So many stories at just a few clicks and scrolls.
Birthdays can't be forgotten anymore, people cannot be avoided, the eagerness to check what people comment on your posts,opinions or pictures cannot be resisted and it better be compliments and positives :) .
I like all these and more about Facebook...its a fascinating medium to refresh and rebound. This curiosity does not kill ....as long as you keep it ingenuous....
