Life in Facebook world

BY AMIT DUTT

Legendary singer Mohammed Rafi sang Ankhon hi ankhon mein ishara ho gaya, baithe baithe jeene ka sahara ho gaya. Had Rafi saab been singing today, the lyrics would have been like this, Facebook hi Facebook mein ishara ho gaya, like, share aur comment ka sahara ho gaya

According to a recent survey, Facebook, with almost 900 million users, is the third largest country in the world after India and China, and a country that size will certainly have its own language too. Diehard Facebook converts through SMS was the ‘in’ thing. But again, the world is moving fast. Even SMS is a personal one-to-one contact. You send, and one other person responds. But on FB, you can do the most personal of things without being personal at all. And what’s more, the whole country knows it and there’s no recourse either!

While on a positive note, FB has helped in catching up with friends from the distant past and lands, whom we would never have imagined seeing again. It cannot be blamed for how it is being used, but it has also served as a tool to become faceless. Faceless, when you want to.

No words were

To people you know, those you have been friends with and shared your time with, and people who deserve better. As a matter of fact, there are his fiancée to discuss their relationship, or what was left of it.

Till a few years ago, expression of emotions communities our social achievements. And just like FB, our self-image refuses to take a break from FB.
