FACEBOOK MANIA

Thanks guys for visiting and reading through my post,

Here's the thing, as long as we only keep Facebook as a medium of 'quality' communication or status updates its purpose is well served. But here are few examples which I have issues with -

1. My wall is inundated with teej pictures, I can understand if a woman posts ONLY ONE photograph per teej per year, but there are several individuals who keep ALL photographs of ALL parties they attend, which is ridiculous.

2. So are birthday, pasni, kindergarten graduation pictures which are poorly taken photograph and in plethora. There was this person who shot a picture of his daughter in a continuous shooting mode while she was blowing a candle.There were six pictures taken in a matter of perhaps 4 seconds and all of them were put in facebook.

3. What aggravates me even more than there are several individuals who 'like' ALL those pictures.

4. Also, there are some people who 'like' status messages like this - 'I had a bad day today, my kid was sick all this morning and now the car wouldn't start'

5. Some people share some Shivaji and Ganeshji pictures only because "सावन में लाभ मिलेगा"

6. And then there are stupid facebook pages like 'नेपाल तेरो बाउ को सम्पति हो र..........?'

7. Also, many could do without sharing pictures of Nepali politicians as tribal kids. Seriously, is our intelligence just limited to that?

8. And what's up with that inserting 'Nepali' as our middle name? If we really did care about our country, we would have taken the next flight back to Nepal instead of inane facebook protest which would be never seen by people in remote parts of Janakpur and Rapti who are more than eager to make their madeshi or Janajati rajya. (not stereotyping though, just an example)

9. Seriously speaking, my sister in law checks her facebook every friggin' minute, I mean every single one. The moment I send her a message on her facebook (I seldom do that) she replies in a matter of second, literally, just seconds and it has happened each time.

10. And the last thing I want someone to do is TAG me in the pictures of their kids and newly purchased car. I might sound harsh as I say this, but your kid is not Dakota Fanning and your car is not a Maserati and that I have already seen better, so please do not tag me when I have nothing to do with your kid, car, iphone, fridge, mattress, horse, cat, monkey etc. Enough is enough.

All I request to all facebook users is 'save our likes' and 'save our comments' for something better, beauiful and deserving. A friend called Matt's status updates are hillarious. His status this morning was -

"Just landed in Zurich, but the moment I came out of the airport, a strong stench hit my nose, I thought my boss was arriving on a flight after mine, not the one before'

Needless to say, I liked it. :)
