Click.Click.Click.
Pictures seem to be
the world's new obsession.
Cameras have improved
drastically, cameras have come down to everyone's hands,so naturally
photography has become common, easy and pleasurable.
Who doesn't like to
see themselves smiling in a nice new dress or near the flower bearing tree or
besides a sculpture or in front of a lake or just any damn place?
And we welcomed the
super addicting selfie with wide open arms.
Oxford Dictionary’s word of the year 2013, that is.
So a Selfie basically
removes the need of a photographer or a tripod stand ,or any kind human being
who would click a picture of you, and enables you to click anything and
everything yourself.
It has an element of
independence to it I guess, speaking figuratively.
So now the Selfie
ritual is fast spreading, and prevailing.
But have we become so
smitten that it has gotten unmatched importance?
Sure, pictures are
good for memories and maybe every meeting and occasion deserves at least 1
picture.
But are people
meeting for pictures? Is the motive of meetings just for the sake of good
pictures so you can upload it on fb and whatsapp and instagram and what not.
Slowly and steadily,
the selfie has become a madness and it has already taken over quite a lot of
kids and teens.
I'm saying,don't ban them but don't spoil your mood because your eyes were closed in 1 picture and there was too much light in the 2nd and your hair weren't in place in the 1000th. :P
Meaningful
conversations have taken a back seat, and taking selfies with your friend has
become the new friendship indicator/proof.
Anyways,a

Though the pouts and
duckfaces might kill me of excessive laughter someday.
Good day! J
