Rant on Social Networking

And for heaven's sakes what is this IBC, huh?

People have gotta find other ways of grabbing attention. If you wanna help the world just go do it, drenching yourself in cold water won't change a thing. And whilst we are at it, tell the crazy enthusiasts that this preposterous IBC could get them sick. And to the adherents, no offense, but please don't desecrate our home page with your bucket pics and videos. 

Yes you can do it baba! Don't you wanna save the whole world by doing this daring thing? 

Here is my daughter Sofia taking the IBC! In't she brave?

I have absolutely no respect for those who drench themselves in ice water and call it social work. It is merely a cry for attention under the garb of charity or whatever. I really feel sorry for the celebs who have started validating themselves by posting their IBC video(s) and/or pic(s). Doesn't mean I don't appreciate their work or think any less of them. I just consider this challenge a downright sham.

Sorry if I'm hurting someone's beliefs but I believe in reaching out for people by being with them in person, talking to them, rendering help if I can. If someone really wants to find a cure and/or help people, then they should do what Lorenzo Odone's parents did. The oil not only helped their own child but thousands of other boys suffering from an insidious genetic disorder called adrenoleukodystrophy.

And what about the game requests I have been getting on facebook since time immemorial.  I have told these candy crush fanatics to stop sending me request a gazillion times. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you and I would keep getting these requests till the end of time. I learnt it the hard way.

And Oh there is more to it, like 60% of my computer screen in occupied by stupid advertisements ranging from matrimony ads to colorful tops, garish baby doll lingerie, purses, bracelets, furniture etc with soft core porno flashing back and forth every time I try to download something. Is this the price I have to pay for using the internet?

My favorite passtime on FB is quite unusual, contrary to other people I stalk myself on facebook. There is something about stalking yourself on FB it is so much fun when you have nothing else to do.

Furthermore, I can't say that some of my friends' boisterous flaunt in relation to their jobs don't get under my skin, that's for sure. Why have people started prefixing their job titles on FB? Dr, Prof, CA etc. Human beings have certainly devolved into pretentious pricks. Shame on people who need to validate themselves by showing off her minor scholastic achievement on social networking sites. And then there are those imbeciles who use FB as a platform to "thank their loved ones". Who is giving you an academy award in the first place?

Enough of negativity now let's talk about some positive aspect of tech. I have an ingenious proposition that involves an app that will get all your work done while you are sleeping, taking a leak or a dump or maybe ambling all over the place thinking about pistachio and cherry . It is a $$$$ gazillion idea.
