Selfie!

Hey there folks!

Its been long since my  last update and I apologize for the same. I’d like to share my views on the term – selfie.

The first time I’ve came to know about selfie was four years ago , when I was a fresher at work. My very first selfie was taken with my buddies from day one of job orientation. Then It went on to become a part of my day to day life.

During Training period , I used to sit in the last row at class . I’m not sure whether I learned everything I was supposed to , but I sure as heck learnt how to take best selfies. :P And so I spent the remainder of my training days clicking selfies with my buddies , sriram and shivaram.

Later  my  friend’s circle came to include Leena colony , the selfies we clicked were innumerable , literally as I had to buy a hard disk in addition as the mobile storage was insufficient. Nowadays  at  ceremonies and social gatherings , we make it a point to click a few selfies notwithstanding the professional photographer doing his job. And thus selfie has become a part and parcel of my life. And most of our lives too.

Whenever something exciting happens , our first thought is to take a selfie. We don’t just stop there, rather we upload it in social media , projecting our lives for everyone to see.

I don’t want to get into the pros and cons of selfies. In my opinion , selfies are required. In the sense that no matter how many years may pass , looking at them will make us relive the moment. Selfies are important but that’s not the only thing that matters in this planet.

Why so , u ask?  Feel the moment first , before attempting to capture it in a selfie . Let’s say you go to a beach. Indulge in the serenity of the waves. The feel of sand under your feet. Once you’ve had your fill of the reality , then proceed to capture it.

There’s nothing more purer that maternity. Can you even imagine how it would feel if the mother , on holding her baby for the first time , insists on taking a selfie at once , without savoring the moment??

Hopefully we won’t live to see such an abomination.

Live in the moment. Freeze  them later!
