It’s not working well between us…

With that I bid bubye to my facebook account. I have been on facebook since 2006-07. I think it is the 7 year itch that finally sealed the break-up. I thought I’d miss NOT being on facebook but I don’t miss it one bit. Instead I am going about my life as always but more peacefully. My phone doesn’t buzz with anymore candy crush requests or any other game requests. My phone isn’t constantly buzzing with notifications and messages on the messenger. I feel free. The kind of free one feels after being in a bad relationship.

Of-late facebook started to seem like a giant universal album of peoples personal pictures. People sharing their most personal photos (Nah not nudes, but there were a couple of guys [Yeah! JUST a couple] flaunting their chest complaining about the summer heat.) If I attended your wedding, I don’t want to see the pics, if I didn’t attend your wedding it is because I don’t want to see your face, what makes you think I’ll trouble myself to like your pictures?

I don’t care if you finally succeeded in potty training your baby. I don’t care if your husband did a fantastic job of cleaning baby poop. I don’t care about your halwa or chole. I just want to be left alone without being spammed every second by someone uploading a mushy photo with their better (or not so better) Halves. It is so annoying! Some people were annoying when they were single. Being married they have doubled their annoying quotient.

People are exchanging tips on how to cook, bring up their babies, handle husbands *Shakes head at the mere recollection of awful things said by some girls about their husbands.*

I also don’t care where you got drunk last night. I don’t care who you did after getting drunk and I certainly don’t care enough to know the result of your deeds after a couple of months. Check–ins are positively horrid add-ons  that FB could have introduced. It pretty much screams, “HEY STALKER! WHY DIDN’T YOU FOLLOW ME THERE? DIDN’T YOU SEE MY FACEBOOK UPDATE?”  Which is later followed by, “OH GOSH! PEOPLE ARE SUCH STALKERS ALWAYS FOLLOWING ME WHEREEVER I GO. NOBODY  IS SAFE IN THEIR OWN TOWN!” If I didn’t love my laptop I would have smashed the screen. Not being on FB also means there won’t be any more arguments about, “I’m tagging you in my check-in. I want to make people jealous.” * [Yes, readers I am loved. Sometimes I think I am loved too much. Scary shite.]

What is with the selfies? What is with selfies in the loo? [I confess to have taken a group selfie in the loo and that was just one instance because the place had a red glow and we looked positively angelic in-spite of the red around us. O: ) ]

I think the generation that came after me is degenerating into self obsessed slobs who live a lifetime in their rooms making every aspect of their “tiny room world” known to us. You are NOT POLANSKI![And raping a 13 year old in your room does not mean you are him it just makes you as bad as him.] STOP TRYING TO TELL ME THE ENTIRE STORY OF YOUR LIFE FROM YOUR EXPERIENCES IN YOUR ROOM!

I feel better.

I also think my older posts were much nicer.

I don’t know what happened to me after I graduated.

*Sigh* Keep watching this space. I promise I’ll make my blog interesting again.

P.S: If you haven’t listened to Mini World  by Indila yet, please do. RIGHT NOW!

Google Pixel XL - Review

Image
I had been meaning to change my phone for over a year and it was then that this phone had caught my eye – The Google Pixel XL. I had read so much about it. Found that a lot of people that I am surrounded by had no intentions of getting it. Here is the thing, my sole reason for investing in a gadget has to do with the following: ·         Its price should be within a certain range i.e it should not burn a hole in my wallet. ·         It should at least be guaranteed that the product will be receiving software support for a minimum of 3 years. ·         It should have excellent user interface to make life easy and be a tool for communication as well as relaxation. ·         It should have a good camera. ·         Its accessories must be easily available in the market. It’s with the help of this list that I short list...

Hey Little Girl... Part I

The little girl aped her elder brother. To her, he was the coolest dude that existed. She was the kid in school who was spoken to because she was so and so’s sister. As a kid she was extremely naïve. Her brother was the quizzer, the topper, the teacher’s pet, the social guy and everybody liked him. She on the other hand was the brat, the swimmer, a teacher’s nightmare, anti social and didn’t want to be liked by anyone. They were polar opposites of each other. Her brother - the witty charmer and She, the *shrugs shoulders* and very impolitely leaving conversation kind of person. Perhaps… the younger version of her envied the ease with which her brother was able to make friends and be at the core of everything that was happening in school. The fact that they were so different and studied in the same school eventually led to teachers constantly comparing them. It wasn’t anything she couldn’t handle. But imagine a little girl always being chastised and all sermons ending with, “why ...

The Journey

Last weekend was amazing. It began by me traveling solo from Mysore to Madras. I plonked my bags at my best friend's place. Her roomie, she and I headed to Mahabalipuram where we saw the famed sculptures carved out of single boulders. The carvings are pretty intricate and the sight is very pretty but the highlight of the visit was a monkey. While we were leaving the place we saw a troop of monkeys and one of them immediately took a fancy to my friend’s roomie. Now this girl is scared of almost every animal. It became very obvious to her that the monkey was eying the bottle in her hand. She threw it at the monkey. The monkey picked it opened the bottle and gulped the juice and looked so pleased! It was a sight. It does not seem hilarious in print but it was incredibly funny. But before going to Mahablipuram we stopped at the Crocodile Park where I learnt to hold a baby crocodile and also a python. I actually felt the crocodile gulp when I was holding it. The place ...
