The Facebook Drama: Part Two.

Olla again,

Basically I couldn’t get over the nasty side of facebook and I have so much more to say. Let’s start with what is trending. The number of photography pages that have been created on facebook keep increasing every minute. Someone one rightly put it, “The problem is every person with an SLR thinks he can become a photographer”. Three words for you, YOU NEED SKILL. Besides that you need passion too, by creating a page and posting up pictures of the closet, your mobile phone and stuffed teddy bears you are not going anywhere. And then you expect us to like the page too. First learn how to take photos properly, learn what the word ‘PHOTOGRAPHY’ really means and basic terms of photography, then I might think about liking your page.

Then let’s come to what I like to call ‘PUBLICITY STUNTS’, you know the ones the actors do to get famous only difference is these people are not actors. So what do I mean? I am talking about the utter bullshit people write on each other’s wall obviously because they are having an argument. Anyways, I don’t get the point, WHY DO IT ON THE WALL? AGAIN, WHY DO YOU WANT THE WHOLE WORLD TO KNOW WHAT’S THE ARGUEMENT ABOUT? You are having an argument, okay fine. You are telling your close friend, again fine. You are posting your side’s of the story on each other’s wall, not fine. Inbox, Inbox, Inbox.

Recently, I was going through a few profiles and guess what I saw? ‘XYZ’s relationship status is changed from being in a relationship to widow’ and I burst into laughter. Dear people who do that, DO YOU KNOW THE MEANING OF WIDOW? If not, A widow is a woman whose spouse has died, while a widower is a man whose spouse has died. And please, you are not married to your boyfriend whose not going to last, so do not even plan on giving me that. 

Then, we have those who do not know basic manners. So really if you think by creating a hate group against a person is really the right thing to do, please think again. If things between you and the person you hate are not going good, I suggest you talk it out, you never know it might even turn out to be a misunderstanding or at least he/she will realise their mistake and apologise. Why create a hate group and spoil your name? It is you who is going to look like the bad person, not the person you hate. By hurting that person’s feelings, it is really not taking you anywhere. THAT REALLY DISGUSTS ME.

Parents: Our Guardians.

Hello there,

Parents. These 7 letters, one word make so much of a difference in our lives. So recently, I’ve been hearing things that made me emotional. Have you ever wondered how it feels to NOT see your mother or father at least once in a day? Yes, some of us can’t even visualize not seeing their faces. Manier times we would want to stay away from them, but that thought of leaving them sets us back, at least for me. But there are so many kids in this world or let’s say in Dubai who do not even get to see their parent’s face once a day. Why? Because of the occupation they do.

There are many parents who go abroad for office work and do not get to spend time with their children due to the work pressure on them and then there are those children whose parents do not go abroad for office work but work more than 12 hours a day. What really kills me inside is the fact that these kids do not get to see their parent/parents at least once a day.

From the point of view of child, we are emotionally attached to are parents and obviously need them with us. Every one of us would want our parents to sit down and talk to us at the end of the day about how their day was, what all happened etc. But then what about the people who do not even get to see their parents, what do they do? 

From the point of view of a parent, the only reason they work is for the wellbeing of their child. They can’t help it if they have to work extra or end up going to work on a weekend too. I mean, they are doing this so that their kids could study further, become something in life. They try to give us everything we want so that we are pleased. There are parents who give their kids anything they ask for only because they do not want their kids to have a youth like theirs. That is why they work.

For a teenager like me who understands the surroundings at a certain level, who understands the problems of my parents. I would not want my parent to work more than 12 hours just for me. I would want my parent to enjoy their life too. It really hurts to see your mother/father leave home earlier than 5:00am and then arrive home much later than 10:00pm. I know of people who sacrifice sleep or get up before time just to see their parent’s face and the worst part is THEY CANT HELP IT. I even know people who have cried, had loads of disturbing breakdowns just because they do not get to see their parent. Imagine life that way. 

I really hope you liked my blog, do leave your comments. Thanks for reading.

The Facebook Drama

Olla,

Firstly I’d like to apologise for such a huge gap of days, blame it on CBSE. I missed blogging. So here it goes, jotting down my feelings hasn’t been simpler. Today I am going to talk about something that almost every teenager uses, FACEBOOK. It has, according to me become a trend to have a facebook account and it gets nasty. Like all my other friends even I have a facebook account and usually, I notice so much of ongoing drama that I couldn’t really stop myself from blogging about it.

I have come across so many people on facebook who take photos with the shortest of the possible clothes, obviously with the intention of showing off their body parts. For such people, please stop wearing clothes? I don’t mean to offend anyone but honestly speaking you are going to look the same with some amount of clothes on too. And then there are those people who take photos with THREE LAYERS OF FOUNDATION, A COMBINATION OF EYE SHADOWS, EYE LINER, KAJOL, MASCARA, POWDER, LIPSTICK. AND ITS NOT EVEN GOOD MAKEUP! What harm in showing how you really look? 

Next, the teenager couples who keep on putting up statuses on how lucky they are to have their loved one in their life, or how awesome their day was because they saw their loved one and spent time with them. I don’t mind you putting up such statuses once in a while, but why put up such statuses after every two minutes? I don’t think anyone is interested in reading how much you love/ miss her than her itself. Then there are those couples who wallpost each other on what they did with each other the whole day and how they miss holding each other and kissing each other. Kindly understand Mark Zuckerburg did not invent something known as an inbox just for the fun of it, there was a purpose. So use your inbox? The idea of couples posting such things on each other’s wall disgusts me and I’m sure it disgusts a lot of other people too.

There are also people who publish their health reports and whole life history on facebook. Why on earth would you want all your facebook friends to know what’s going on with you? If all that is for sympathy, do me a favour, go to a news channel or any other form of mass media and publish it to the whole world, why restrict it to your facebook friends? In that way everyone is going to give you sympathy.

Facebook was introduced so that we could socialise more with people not use it to such an extent that you disgust people.

Your Choice: Ignore or Admire.

Hello,

So today’s blog is on ‘we admire the ones who ignore us and ignore the ones who admire us’. Firstly I was not even sure about what I was going to blog about, so I thought I’d share my thoughts. Experiment a little. So here goes blog number four.

I’m certain all of us have come across the phrase mentioned above; some of us have even experienced the following. Let’s talk about the consequences first, from my point of view this obviously leads to, rising of distances between the two, and when distances rise the talking is less, and talking less leads to fading of the person’s importance from your life and finally the moving on, where its completely gone. And it is an end to the friendship or relationship.

Let’s start from the beginning, what got you so close? Maybe he/she sounded much more interesting than the usual people you talk to or whatsoever. But the point is, never make someone so close that you forget your friends. He/she might sound really important to you but then what about your friend from childhood? Isn’t he the most important when compared? According to the teenage phase, this is often seen. We start admiring someone and ignoring the world for them and on the other hand they’re not doing the same maybe because they have someone better to look forward to. You know what you’re doing here? THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF YOUR LIFE. Never ever think of leaving your friends for someone who does not admire you the same way or in other words does not keep you first on her/his list.

Your friends will tell you what your doing is a mistake, you would not listen. They’d be the most important, “TOP PRIORITIES”. You might gain them but you’re loosing on the best you’d have. And this where the phrase applies, you admire the one who ignores you and ignore the one who admires you the most. You lost the best. What more would anyone have to say to you? Always think of what the other person feels, how the other person feels, they’re important people too. Much often people scream on their family members just because they wanted you to spend some time with them, is that how we were raised? 

Never ignore a person who loves you, cares for you, and misses you. Because one day, you might wake up from your sleep and realize that you lost the moon while counting the stars. Appreciate your friends.

Keep Believing.

Hiiii,

Well, this is blog number three. Something you all should know about me to start off is that I am a dancer, I love dancing a lot. No, today’s blog is not about me and my dancing skills. It’s something else.

When I first started dancing I swear, I did not think I had it in me. I used to take part in a lot of competitions and for competitions everyone has to go through the audition process. Likewise, even I had to go through the same process. But my thing was different. I always gave my name for auditions with a positive attitude, but at the end I backed out. It was always in the end that I thought I would not get through and used to give up.

At that time, every audition I registered for turned out to be useless at the end. I started thinking to myself what was the reason behind this, why was the conclusion always failure. The reason was I lacked self confidence. I thought I was not capable of showcasing my talent. I started practising more often, started building my self confidence. I had a determination boost in myself; things I thought I was not capable of became priorities. I started viewing these auditions from a different prospective, I knew even if I did not get through it still would mean, I participated and did my best. And then, THERE WAS NO CHANCE, I WAS BACKING OUT FROM ANYTHING.

Giving up might be a really good option to you right now but later on your going to be left with questions like, “WHY DID I LEAVE SUCH A GOOD OPPORTUNITY?” or “WHAT WAS I THINKING?”. All I want to say is, DONT GIVE UP, you may look like a fool to people for what talent you possess, but by giving up your just stating that you’re not worth it, you don’t have the courage in you. Lots of people limit their possibilities by giving up easily. Never tell yourself this is too much for me. It's no use. I can't go on. Keep believing. When you feel like giving up, hold on tighter and push through it. It will always get you better. I promise. So to all of you out there who think the easiest thing to do is giving up on yourself, just stop and think if you’d do that, would the world ever know what you really are?. If Mark Zuckerberg gave up, do you think we’d be having facebook? Or if Mr. Jason Russell and his companions gave up on the KONY 2012 project, would it be where it is today? Think about it.

Tenth Grade: The Rollercoaster.

Hiii again,

You know that amazing feeling when you publish your blog and you keep refreshing it to see how many page views you get, that’s the exact same feeling I had when I published the first one and yes, I’m writing blog number two.

This time I’m going to pin point some of the things 10^th grade did to me or might as well say to many of the 10^th graders. Honestly, passing out of tenth leaves you with mixed emotions. You do not know whether you should be excited about it or be depressed about the fact that the fun years are gone.

When the word 10^th grade comes to anyone’s mind, the first things that flash would probably be BOARDS, PRESSURE, STREAMS, CGPA. So to all the 9^th graders going to 10^th, welcome yourself for a rollercoaster ride.

The thing about 10^th was, when I entered 10^th I wasn’t really thrilled or pressurized. We had only two terms, the first term went by just like that. This does not mean I did not take it seriously; it was just that the first term did not really look that serious at first. The terror came in with the starting of the second term and when I say that I mean it. Those months were the months we were being pressurized; we were tested to the best of our abilities. Those were the months when our parents started putting us under house arrest, taking every form of technology we own ALL BECAUSE WE HAD TO STUDY. We had our mocks and ongoing boards, the pressure kept building, and we kept inviting a lot of taunts, good lucks to actually. Frankly the amount of best of lucks I’ve got this year is nothing compared to what I’ve ever got for doing well on an exam. So you see? They all want us to excel. But our side of the story was different, at least mine. The thing was I wasn’t really ever pressurised in life, so this was my first. And it kept building on me, I had a really bad emotional breakdown, there were a few moments when I did not know what was I actually doing. But when I look back at whatever happened in those few months, it was definitely worth it.

The one question I always faced was, WHATS AM I GOING TO BECOME? Here’s my view on that, the thing is when we were kids, all of us wanted to become a doctor or an engineer and those were the same exact things I wanted to become to, but honestly when you come to an higher level like 10^th and you actually have to decide what stream you have to take to pursue your career, trust me,  that’s when you hit your head with a gun, I guess. BECAUSE YOUR NOT SURE ABOUT WHAT YOUR REALLY GOING TO TAKE (at least at one point of time for the ones who are certain.)

So anyways though we all took a lot of taunts from our parents, we’ve had our bad times and the good ones how could anyone forget those? We are officially done with 10^th grade in a few days and when I look back, I’m surely going to miss it all.

The only reason why I actually wrote this was because I really wanted to express my point of view. Best of luck to the future 10^th graders from my behalf.
