The Status

By at


So this post is in continuity with my whatsapp status about reading statuses. 
The question I asked was "Why do you read a person's status in whatsapp?"
Based on the inputs by the kind souls who managed to write replies inspite of their busy schedule 😏, I had managed to analyze or atleast pretend to.

One reads a status to gain insight into the person’s mind or character. So people read only those who they are curious about or whom they are very friendly with or whom they respect or whom they wanna know more about. So people, basically read the statuses of those who they like, love or even, hate. Yes, people wanna know what's going on in the minds or the lives of,even the enemies. But they choose to conveniently skip those statuses who they are indifferent or irrelevant to. Hence its said that, indifference is more crueler than hatred. In a way, it is also the exact opposite of love.


Other petty reasons being, as follows..
  • To while away the precious time.
  • To steal and repost the interesting statuses. 
  • To discover like minded people. 
  • And statuses are many a times, a good conversation starters! 😉
  • To decipher any message hidden in the status, especially if they are very intimate to the person. 
  • To know about the updates in their lives, as we get tangled in this mechanical life. (This alone shall be the literal meaning of the status update and in fact the intended purpose !!)
  • And to compare their life to ours and either feel happy or miserable! 

But my point here is that how reading statuses has become an invaluable yet an easy tool to grasp the enigmatic human nature if we can avoid certain factors like prejudice and hypocrisy. 🤔

 Thinking back now, what did we have in our armamentarium, to read a person's mind prior to the statuses and social media..
  • The books they read can give a clue.
  • A real conversation with them.
  • Observing the individual. 
  • Living a lifetime with them!
How could the future shape up in this realm of connectivity?

 Leave your comments in the comment box.. about anything you think..

 P.S. I tried to sneak this piece in a whatsapp status(which was my original idea) and failed coz of the size. Hence the post here in my blog. Of course, my blog needs some traffic, right? :D

Fly with me...

Will you follow my tail? Fly with me Take my wings free. I will take you somewhere, where there is nothing. No air to inhale, No water to quench, No body to be caged in, Nobody to envy, Nobody to hate, Everybody to love. But no way back, Yet you can traverse through the other route. Will you come? You will regret having spilt your blood here. Lets make it a memorable voyage! Falling down the Everest, Crawling through green meadows, Floating above misty clouds, Walking on transparent waters, Sleeping with minds closed, Lets derive joy from oddness. You know, the time, you were born, you didn't know, you were born. Likewise, you wouldn't know this too. Its a pleasure;Its an orgasm! Its a freedom from the bondage! How would immortals taste it? How would mortals know it? Poor world! Pathetic souls! Everything gain significance only after its loss. Its not the same with life, though the same with DEATH. Why do you fear to relish an elixir? Come, Lets invade the next Hell! P.S. I a

Just Hate This!

Today was not a good day at the college..after all when had it been good when there is a viva?? I hate them so much..Bcoz the reason is I am somewhat poor in practical things..And to know why I am poor in those, my attendance will solve the mystery.. I love studying for theory exams(I really mean it!!).. Basically I love working hard .. I just love those pre-exam days when I go on without a stop for more than 14 hrs a day.. Now in this pre final, we write three subjects viz. ENT, Ophthalmology, PSM(preventive & Social Medicine).. I will appear for those in January ,probably 23rd.. So I just hate these days with no real hard things to do .. I know there's a hell of things to be known yet I don't feel like grabbing them to my brain disk.. Yes I am feeling Lazy!! And coming back to today's exam, I had to record the case from the patient and present it before the professor..the case was recorded well(courtesy:case sheet and friends!!:D:D) and when it came to presenting ,

Inebriated

Hanging by the watch's minute hand, we were exploring our own land; Too slowly crawled the clock, Our brains were fixed in a block; The state of steadiness measured in terms of pegs, we flew around with wings pinned to our legs; Out came the words from the inside, that crenelated the heart in vitro quite wide; From dumb to a chatter box, cowardice to courage, this OH-fluid made our neurones outrage; Our souls confessed our sins kneeling down, Yet our exterior dressed in the mask of a clown; We see an aureole around every face, bcoz the Inner God emerges out from the surface; We let ourselves ruled by the uninhibited subconscious, and slaughter our cruel inhibited conscious;

Pricking the Porcupine

I was comfortably numb & dumb, But this atrocious crust made me succumb! How pure I was in that womb? Will my flesh decay in my tomb? The skin embossed with the spines in line, I knew , I am the porcupine! Of bleeding others , involuntarily, I feel heavy with cardiomegaly! Touching me , Why do you regret? Don't you know , its my reflex? How would you , poor mortal! Only HE knows the way I feel! The sun & the moon takes rest, but my eyes are spared from its zest! Dwelling under this blanket of gloom, now , it has become my doom! I am shutting down my heart! There's none around me unhurt! I don't wish to start to again! I would better end my lively pain! this post is to all the victims of the porcupine[thats me!];I have hurt almost everyone around me, please forgive me!! There's a hell of things pricking inside the porcupine.Trust me!! GOD SAVE ALL!!

The Perfect SPLASH!

By at
The sun was back deep under the ocean.It was now the turn of the moon.And the yellow monochrome light faded into dusky white and the shadows vanished into oblivion.The bright blue of the sea into dark black echoing the poorly inflamed orb. On the other side of the ocean were a couple of shadows crawling on the lonely shores.Of their shadows ,one was lengthier and the other a bit shorter.But the shadows of their souls were very much similar and seemed to merge inside each other. ZOOMING IN VIA GOOGLE EARTH... After a brief walk on the sand hardened by the galloping tears of the ocean, we turned back to see our own footprints fighting to triumph over the waves of time.I said, " we will last an eternity living in serenity" , the only time I used my tongue to converse ,that evening. She smiled at me and we held hands and walked towards the small table, interlocked. TRIIIINGGGGG....screeched something in my pocket.I took it out and switched it off. "Honey , what was that?&

The Best, but Why?

By at
The glass door swung back to its permanent position, as he rushed in the showroom of exquisite clothings. He marched towards the shirts section and asked for some of the best pieces available in the shop. The shopkeeper displayed the best clothes ranging well above the norm, with obviously a delighted face. He picked up two fine shirts from the heap of the best exposed and moved in search of trousers. He chose the matching ones for the preselected shirts and made sure they are of the best quality too. He ordered them to be packed in their respective glamorous boxes and asked for the bill. Some indistinct voices echoing inside his head deafened his ear to the shopkeeper's words. Ignoring them, he payed the bill and walked past the swinging glass door and came into contact with the warm air of non-air conditioned earth. The voices grew louder inside him this time. THE VOICES: " Why do we seek the best ?...Is it just bcoz, you can afford them?....or Is it just bcoz, you wanna exh
