The Newspapers of our existence

Newspapers have run out of fashion. The morning paper with bed tea is now obsolete. Everything is online. Be it checking the daily news on the desktop, the laptop, the notebook or better still - the BlackBerry or the I-phone.
Who cares whether there was an earthquake, a storm, a cyclone or a neighbourhood murder. We all seem to be more concerned about whats on someone else's mind. Someone is angry, someone is depressed, someone wants to go on a holiday, someone is happy, someone liked a movie, someone's dog has a birthday today, someone just took a piss after 4 hours. Ya, right!

Some people have a rare collection of beautiful pictures of themselves, which they change everyday while some people go about - "you guys look beautiful together!" and "ur such an amazing couple, made for each other" and then there is "wow... awesomeeeeee pics!"

Everytime a photograph is taken, it is evaluated as to how it would look out there and when is the soonest I can reach home and upload them all? Oh, hang on there is one more option - Mobile uploads!

Any opinions be it political, social, or fancy quotes stolen from the internet, find a way!

What is called "social media" is now, for me, a newspaper of one's existence - anything and everything from cold and flu updates to news about hookups and breakups, from pictures of short road trips to long holidays, engagements, weddings and honeymoons - and this newspaper gives you all the spice of everyone's life.

Gossip and spying has taken a new meaning and everyone seems to be hooked on to this. Including me. So when was the last time you posted something or checked someone else's photos? Its already been 15 mins? Don't waste your time here, go on refresh your "News Feed" and Enjoy!
