Facebook-errrss!!

Almost everyone I know has a Facebook account, mainly for connecting with friends, messaging, sharing pictures and more. But creeps make it a point to enter into the mindless clicking world and tap on to someone's open profile as if you've known them since your diaper days. They follow them by seeing all their pictures, friends’ comments, and some of hot looking ones in the pictures or comments in the next tab. They rate on the hotness scale and enter in the imagination land in no time.
Facebook has its own tools for catching up with people who mean important to you. The tool status update indicate what's on your mind, so as to know what's happening in that witty, pleasurable real-time window of your friends' life and not about 'I'm gonna tell you every detail'. Frustrated Facebookers found solace with the check-in option but not very long they realized the 160 character status update was replaced with the 'merry go round' options. Long Live Zuckerberg for adding the Hide tool and avoid mundane on daily activities.
Facebook also happened to be a gaming zone where amateurs became chronic inviters for  playing mafia wars, collecting farm-ville gifts, to support a cause or birthday calender and to the worst hit to play quizzes. You would probably mean well to have fun but 9gag is a better option. People get addicted and spend eons of time in the empty scribbling world.
Not very long before when the Like button was introduced to chop off the stupid comments of 'hahahahahaha, some lolzzz, woww and awwww (a non-human perfect feminine expression)'. One way it led to poor non-verbal skills, most of whom whether understood or not but liked the status just because it was from a George Clooney persona. Plus the Like button also gave us another set of weirdos who like their own posts. Liking your own posts (whether status updates or pictures or comments) is the height of identity crisis. FB has it's own set of self-obsessed people who desire constant feedback on their lives. (Seeing how many people liked their pictures, how many actually comment and think Gosh, I'm so sexy.-They need a reality check)
And yet Facebook remains feminist. Have a girl update her picture or a status update and there'll be atleast 40 likes to that. Guess if the guy does that?? 4 likes on the photo and "get a life dude" on the status. But ladies do realize, the only reason 30 guys liked your picture is because they think Facebook is a popularity contest and you're losing it.
What you make out of Facebook is a one way ticket to addiction for some of the common behaviors (annoying yet true) :

• Update the status more than twice a day and then check every ten minutes for how many people liked or commented on it (Facebook's like a bachelor-pad refrigerator - you get bored, keep checking knowing there's nothing in it)
• If you stepped out, you check the page from your phone
• More than 500 friends, half of whom you would have met just once or may be twice or sometimes never (you add them because you have common friends or feel just like sitting in a jail - sitting along and getting poked by people you don't know)
• Change your profile picture more than a 14 yr old girl
• Delete or hide things from your profile page so as to look you spend less time on FB 
• Update every time something happens related to sports, news, weather or even politics for some rare reasons (News travel faster on FB compared to any other news channel or even telling a woman)
• Set it as homepage or is the most visited website in your bookmarks 
• If you ever checked your Facebook  page while reading this, you're an addict.

Belle of the Ball

"The party seems to be boring for you!?!" Rob asked Carol as he found her standing by the porch.
"Oh no! Not at all, I'm absolutely fine"
"I can read it through your eyes hun". 
"Why do you always feel embarrassed?" Someone from the crowd shouts "Hey Rob, can you come over".
"Try to stay good and enjoy the time before we leave soon".  Rob tried to make her feel good as he walked away to meet his colleagues. Rob kept himself busy meeting people but he kept glancing at Carol only to realize how much uncomfortable she was feeling even to carry a fake smile.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, as we gather here for the grand success of our company and celebrate the effort we've put in and the number of lamps burned to fulfill our dreams; I would like to congratulate one and all for this phase." Rob proposes a toast and grabs everyone's attention.
"Also, I would like everyone to know about someone special in my life that's been my motivation, strength and the walk of my life; my wife Carol. She's been with me for almost 45 years now, taking care of me, shouting at me, smothering me with all the love she has and yet she never crumbles to smile.
Carol, your angelic eyes always smile at me and confix the drive of our life, your sweetness trickles my soul, your beauty sums up the unsearchable and secret aims of our life. Often as I walk through the house, I look in your eyes the enlightening dream, a delightful life and the illusional heaven in our life. I remember the first time I saw you in senior high prom; I thanked God for sending my gift - the most alluring girl I had ever seen. You were an angel in disguise carrying a white dress, pink rose and a near perfect smile that faded in my eyes. Your fair soul is the only pure thing in this entire world. It always felt like a dream afar but you're the beauty that completes my dream. I'll always cherish the love of our life."

 You are my Belle of the Ball

The Power of Silence

The Power of Silence - even for the will for it - has been destroyed by an inner emptiness that demands to be filled with hustle and emotions that, though superficial, keep emptiness at bay. A variety of noises and titillating emotions create the mirage of living and feeling great. The practice of silence educates us, helping us to understand what quietness is and its inestimable value in restoring the health, both of our feelings and our thoughts.

Every thought created is a form of energy producing its own charge, positive or negative. In silence we step inside and connect to our original quality of peace, and we stabilize ourselves in the thought of that original peace. As we step back, we observe our intentions, motives and responses to other people and situations. In order to improve a response and how we relate to others and events, we need the discernment to see both what we are doing and what needs to be changed. This charge of original peace releases us from the stress and fear. Then, slowly, we begin to feel good.

Peace is to unplug, disconnect from the many plugs that absorb our energy: Problems, Worry, Pleasing, Fear and Stress. To be released quickly from all these debilitating plug points, we need to become introspective, patient and quiet. This revitalizes our thoughts.
