FBMania - am I loosing sanity?

'I can breathe, I breathe 24 hours a day, I live and go to office or school or stay at home, I am what I am , I am what I can be.. for everyone who lives Post this on your FB wall if you are alive, I am alive :P'

And I woke up ! Shit has it drooled down to this level. Without a second thought I knew the answer- YES, screamed my leftover mind, Yes it has. Random messages such as this one floating around 'DO this if you are that' Why the hell do I want to tell someone that i am a girl or a boy. Some considerations apart its quite visible and for that matter clear to those who count to me. Every little thing be it happiness, religion, causes, or simply a disease is made fun of with these obnoxious and heinous status messages. I have to use strong words because that is how I feel right now. For those who really do care about ' Showing off to be a Papa's angel' I am sorry I fail to put in any 'desolee`' for my opinion.

Although random in their intrinsic sense these messages have something solidly in common. Their absolute failure to serve any purpose other than cluttering some people's innocent walls (Aha, do I mention that i am counted) and providing already busy facebookers more reasons to stay online and write 'If you dont Post and Like this new status of mine, we are not best friends:( :x'. Please lay special attention to the smileys used in such messages. While posting '.......... I support Leprosy, do you' they put in a smiley like ':P' or ':)' at the end. I fail to get the intent - does it mean you are happy for people who have leprosy or you are teasing them, for me such smileys only produce these effects literally. The hidden purpose is of course hidden. Writing on your facebook wall that you support Leprosy is the most disgusting thing I could think of written on a wall. Now come on, in all the static sense how many of us have even gone ahead and touched a person suffering from the disease or how many of us have gone and worked in the areas which support Leper rehabilitation and treatment. Then how and when did someone with that wall post support Leprosy.

It feels helpless to read such messages and that is when it comes to me that mockery is a crime.
The ongoing garble of support messages showing their support over their FB walls is another addition to the chapter of FB mania.

Signing off - I am still alive and still don't need a FB post to prove that :)

Not loosing hope..

From the past few days things are going wrong with me at every possible place. Its like I have opposite of Midas's Power through start and end. While I was pondering over some jyotish, Bhagwan Ji Sab theek karenge, Nazar utaro and jhaad fook suggestions from my granny, I realized that one thing common among all these issues was hope. Hope, that it will end by itself or by our efforts. Hope to see the sun again and hope to dwell into the water again, hope for survival, gain and moving forward.

In deeper thoughts, hope is what i think drives life. The essence of time sometimes lets us forget the problem in thoughts but hope is one that is always remembered in retrospect. We learn from our problems - but what do we learn? not to repeat them, yes we can try to do that but most importantly we learn to hope. Hope for the good. However much you think hope is not associated with negativity(considering you are not an evil spirit wanting someone's bad all the time :)). As a child you hope to be able to ride that bicycle. As an adult you hope to do better at things in general. Even in worst of the situations you hope that things will fall into place without something or someone's intervention.

And I wonder this is the only thing that binds us all, the life and nature.. almost everything.

Elder Abuse - lets do what we can ..

Some time back I participated in a contest for writeups on elder abuse. Just going through the site today realized that young ones have started caring for the cause. Such a noble cause :)
