This! i am writing because, my mind is just filled to its brim with Graduate course work and it is in desperate need of some dilutive. So here goes the vetti (for the meaning refer here. Quite a collection) analysis of the recently annoying yet interesting trend I've been observing off-late. PHOTOS!! PICS!!! Yes, the ones which are abundantly discharged in Facebook with innumerable album titles as equivalent to the number of friends one has. My postulates for not being interested in making a public statement of how do i look like are as follows -
With all these delicacies added up to the fact that "if there occurs a picture perfect moment, my mind shall be more than glad to savor it better than any high resolution SLR camera, with the moment's purest essence, etched in my memory forever", I hope that i persist with my current perspective always in the future.
PS: Im just another hypocrite who justifies my laziness with abundant and random reasoning. So Free!! :P
Simple truth is - I just sense a feel of violation, when one's looks and likes are made public. After all wouldn't we like some privacy for ourselves?! :)
- Law of piracy - However the Facebook may build brickwalled privacy protection policies, just like every other social networking sites, it too will have brilliant geeky hackers and spammers, who will make us quit or forget Facebook someday.
- Law of appa - When i collect and treasure my daughter's pictures even on her primary school ID cards, how can i be at peace on knowing that some random guy "liked" her picture on her Facebook wall.
- Law of equivalent exchange - If i put a profile picture and some 40+ people liked it, it indirectly means that i shall be entitled to like the pictures of those 40+ people however silly and mundane those pics might be, in order to sustain the number of likes for every rubbish post i update in future.
- Law of photoshop - If at all, i want to put a picture, i would have to crop, cut, contrast, brighten - do all the possible photoshop deeds to make it an outstanding profile picture, so that i'll be poured with likes and comments the instant i upload. This picture of mine would have only a 0.25 probability of having a resemblance of me (under predefined conditions such as tilted angle, properly slept non-black circle eyed face, etc) .
- Law of race - After the act of picture uploading, life becomes a race to keep up the rating for one self by keeping up the trend ( Such as - black & white photos, childhood photos, with a best friend photo, holiday trip photos, horizon BG photos and of many such likes).
With all these delicacies added up to the fact that "if there occurs a picture perfect moment, my mind shall be more than glad to savor it better than any high resolution SLR camera, with the moment's purest essence, etched in my memory forever", I hope that i persist with my current perspective always in the future.
