It is a matter of shame for a literate person, who has not heard of Facebook, in case he owns a computer and got internet connection installed the matter is more shameful if he has not opened account on Facebook.
It is a status symbol to have an fb (nickname of this lovely friend) account, as no one wants to be tagged with the 'backward' in the modern times. Ok, now that you have opened an fb account, you should have a long list of friends, to show how powerful you are, how social you are, how influential you are.
Let's see how this process starts from one your sincere friend. Yes, he or she is there for genuine friendship, now his friend will send the request to you or vice versa through dear 'fb'.
Now, friend's friend will be the new link for more and more friends ....and this process continues till you realize your incapability to shoulder the burden of more friends. Some friends are there to lift your spirits, some are there for some specific reasons-studies, job etc.
But most of the friends are there only for entertainment, posting pictures of themselves, posting funny/serious/sentimental/status in need of satisfying the hunger for comments.
I also used to do all this but used to update the status only as per my current state of mind. However, I used to read others in my list. I also used to see others' pictures and of course comments. The comments showed purely a well thought out pattern rather than well felt pattern. The comments clearly showed a fake appreciation and criticism.
I kept on wasting my precious time on reading all this and writing comments where I genuinely felt interested. Rarely I could get any motivating experience from fb. So, I decided to deactivate my lovely fb account for how long even I don't know.
I saw the preview of this blog, during this brief time span I felt an instant urge to upload this blog on fb so that all in my list could see how literary I am... ha ha ha
This is very old post brought to life today.
