SHAME ON US

SHAME
                                                         
                                                               ON
                                                   US

Yesterday while surfing YouTube I saw a lot of videos which were useless and just not required even then they had millions of views.
I observed that videos with flashy and spicy thumbnail like oops moments of an actress or trolling a celebrity do trend on YouTube. I don’t know how can you love this sort of content where someone is defamed. There are a lot of videos which have thumbnail that sort of attracts everyone but when you click on those videos they don’t have anything regarding the text mentioned in the thumbnail and these are called click bait thumbnails.

I saw a video in which there was sort of prank of kissing strangers. Can you imagine someone just coming and kissing you in a public place and telling you that its for entertainment. I think that’s disgusting to just invade someones privacy for entertainment and its also sexual harassment.

I was disappointed to see videos with the title “reality behind sridevi’s death”. What the hell?
I have issues with it and hence I decided to address it via this blog. Is this is where entertainment has come to. See I am also a huge fan of a lot of actors and I also wish to see what happens in their lives but there is a line.
  Is n’t there any point where we as an individual    should know where to STOP.

The person who makes these sort of content is guilty but what I don’t get is that people are ready to consume this sort of content. Because if such kind of content is getting uploaded on the internet it is because it is being consumed on the platform.
It is a cycle of demand and supply. There are debates on twitter or any other social media platforms where people condemned media.
There were articles stating that Indian media is going through the worst phase and it has sunk as low as it could sink and media is manipulated. Yes it is good to voice opinion but now what?
Every now then I get messages on whatsapp of celebrities passing away and I think this piece of content gets viral because we open whatsapp and without thinking we forward the message. When Argentina lost to France in FIFA world cup 2018 Messi was trolled on social media. I mean WHY? Why don’t people take it this way that its just a game?  I get videos of accidents on my whatsapp. Do these people even think that this content can harm the kids. How can it entertain anyone? The video  is full of blood and people falling down and die.
We are in such a phase right now where people are not ready to believe the facts because there is so many fake news on internet.
Okay! So there’s a problem. We have ranted about it as well, but what next? What is the solution?
See when it comes to these sort of content on youtube there are a lot of things that can be done. The problem is that youtube is a platform which is driven by its viewers. It is driven by the people who wake up and click on the youtube icon and spend hours watching and surfing content. Youtube has limited power because the content on the platform is driven by us.
What is to be done is:
1.Set your standards for content you wish to watch.
2. STOP consuming nonsense and be a responsible viewer. You are smart enough to know when you click that click bait thumbnail. There was a thumbnail which had the text “ the cctv footage inside a changing room” . Aren’t  we smart enough to know that it won’t be the footage from the changing room. But we still click on it. Let’s be a little more aware of what we are doing because every click counts. Our click is promoting that content.
3.Start reporting these sort of disrespectful content.
4.    Think before you share.
5.Stop senselessly believing in all these bullshit.
 Being a responsible viewer what I intend to continue doing is whenever I see such videos on my feed I will report them.
By such videos I mean fake news, inappropriate content ,disrespectful content,lie,hoax etc…..
I request you to do the same .

HOW TO ENJOY YOUR OWN COMPANY?

HOW TO ENJOY YOUR OWN COMPANY? This is something that I wanted to write for the longest time. So, how to enjoy your own company? Follow the following steps:-    1)   Get rid of misconceptions -   When first you will try to hang all by yourself only doubts you will have in your mind will be things that we were always told ever since our childhood like who goes for watching a movie alone? Or who goes to eat alone? You are considered weird or mad when you do things alone because the socially believed protocol is to be with friends or family. It is something that everyone prefers but it is not something that should be done. These all are just misconceptions that you always need someone to accompany you or to be a partner in crime. I think this happens almost with most of us because we are so used to be with someone that we think that we always need someone to make you happy. It is a massive misconception that you always need someone to be with yo...

ANIMAL FARM : GEORGE ORWELL

Animal Farm is a satirical set on a typical English farm. The story and language are very simple but orwell is unnervingly precise in the way he depicts each step on thw road from revolution to tyranny. T his book is set in a future when animals are much cleverer than now. And because of their cleverness, the pigs started a revolution against the humans. Pigs could speak fluently in English unlike the other animals, and that gave them the power to be leaders. But, the story that follows only happened a few years after that... Their first leader, Old Major, was kind and fair who knew animals should be equal. But when Napoleon became the leader it was very unpleasant. He made a rule that allowed the pigs to have better food and that forced all of the other animals to work crazily hard every day and night. That wasn’t enough, Napoleon wanted more power.He decided to kill his brother, Snowball, so that he would be the only leader. Snowball was admired because he ...

KERELA FLOODS: A NATIONAL DISASTER

KERALA FLOODS:                 A NATIONAL DISASTER \                    I think all of us are aware of the problem that Kerala is facing right now. Being a human it is so depressing for me to read all these news articles published reflecting the stats of no. of deaths and people suffering and all that. When I came to know all this I started searching the reasons of this natural calamity and I came to know that there are a lot of reasons behind this disaster. These flood alerts has been made in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka as well. See why do floods happen is something very subjective and I think we all have read about these things in our primary classes so what now. I will be discussing the factors that lead to Kerala flood disaster according to my study:     1 )    Increasing Rainfall –   Kerala faces flood issues every year but this time the rainfall has...
