social media- sheer bliss or sheer misery ?

Darn! These facebook statuses and activities..!! Make you feel you are such a loser in life. Everyone is happy celebrating something or the other or they are just randomly happy about anything that's ultra random in their lives. I wish I had something random happening around me to be at least happy about ...maybe I do have ...something that's definitely more than 'RANDOM' .I only fail to see it at this time.

But generally speaking, I thought this social media business was about making people's lives better...it ain't really doing so in my case...okay...maybe when I started with it , there was some sort of excitement but so far that excitement has only lessened and has now drastically come down making a negative impact .

I don't mean to say I am not happy about my friends who seem to be happy or are in love or feel more loved by their loved ones. I am only unhappy about myself. Well, not to say I have given up. I do feel my skin's getting thicker. There goes something I can be happy about :) random?

Interaction was the first ever objective of social media. Well, must say that interaction has been merely reduced to ultra unimportant updates like – “I am constipated”, “Leaving for Dubai” or worse – “Boarding my flight” as an another status update after minutes of mentioning in the last one you are going to that place …yes, the world is becoming travel friendly and tickets are a bloody steal most of the times – or they are sponsored …thanks to what not …but who needs to know when and why you got on that plane! Is it something that only happens in my city?


People who want to flash their latest phone, latest car, latest shades, latest watch, and latest underwear even – social media has added to their glory. And never understood why would people want to follow someone on twitter who’s not a part of their life...Being a crazy fan is fine but up to this level that you want to know what they are up to every other second. Does that make any difference? Not to sound like I am against this whole scenario but sometimes I feel people go over board. Guess we are living in a world of randomness and I do feel I am smitten by it sometimes.
