Can Facebook go mainstream ?




At Facebook people showcase idealistic and extreme projections of oneself. Idealism is an utopian concept and reality keep a balanced distance with it. In order to go mainstream, facebook has to become a very close ally of reality and play intermittent role in societal functions. Since, content of facebook have these two attributes of being idealist and extreme in manifestation,  it distances itself from reality. So, either facebook has to moderate itself to converge to reality or influence reality to transform into facebook ideals. Moreover, it is only a matter of scope and extent to go into these two proposed projections which should be empirically tested to draw any conclusion. Presently,  it is evident from the activities on facebook that people tend to express themselves in extreme form of expressions through filmy facebook posts, weird captions, sharing dubsmash videos or misplaced smileys. Hence, Facebook can be said to be in long queue to reach the door of reality.

    Off late Facebook is full of trolls, jokes, funny or shocking videos(more than on you tube I think..hah), unrelevant news, fake information and many more. In case you don't visit fb every hour(which is not possible for any intellectual), no of posts arriving may deprive you of enjoying lively moments of your close ones thus quashing the basic idea of any social group.

ये शायर जब भी लिखता है, शब्दों के मोती पीरो के लिखता है  इस मोती के गहने की कीमत बेमोल है बाजारों में, जिस हुस्न की ये फरमाइश हुयी, उस नूर में चाँद का अक्स दिखता है  । कहाँ मियां किस ख्याल में हो, किसने कहा कि ये जनरेशन 'कबीर' ढूंढती है  अब तो बस एक खींची हुई लकीर ढूंढती है !  #TikkaBhaat टाटा बिड़ला के कारखाने से कमाए पैसे मकान बनाते हैं,  केजीपी आओ, यहाँ हम इंसान बनाते हैं ! #Convo2013

कविता का अलाव

मष्तिष्क में छाये धुंध को हटाने को  खुद को कविता-लेखन की पटरी पर लाने को  ये प्रस्तुति कविता रुपी अलाव का हवन है  आखिरकार शरीर भी कोशिकाओं का भवन है  धुंध जैसे जल का एक स्वरुप है  मानव अंग भी कोशिकाओं का भिन्न भिन्न प्रारूप है  इस कविता को तर्क-वितर्क के तराजू पर मत तौलिये  क्योंकि बहुत दिन के उपरान्त ये एक अभिनव प्रयास है  इस कर्मठ के पूर्व अगणित दिवसों का अवकाश है  रोज़मर्रा घटित होती घटनाएं, लेखन का अवसर देती हैं  ठीक समय पर न सचेत हों, तो ज़िन्दगी भी 'कह कर लेती है' इस लेख में आप अंग्रेजी का मिश्रण कम पाएंगे  और German (तृतीय भाषा) खोजने के लिए CBI का भूत लगाएंगे  चूंकि ये खाटी हिंदी में तैयार देशी व्यंजन है  इसका भाव वही समझे जो 'Pure Lit Vegan' है  आपसे एक गुज़ारिश है  एक छोटी सी शिफारिश है  ये कविता एक लय-ताल की बहती धारा है  इसका मूल 'Go with the flow' का प्रचलित नारा है  फिर भी हम भी कितना भी फ्लो में जाते हैं...

Idea of reasonable restrictions, democracy as a threat and protector of democracy itself and those who don't bother to see constitution as the biggest religion in the future

If you pay attention to the headline of the discourse then it can be observed that they pop up separately in our day to day life. There is a convergence of the three with each other. Idea of the reasonable restrictions in interest of the general public has been put into the constitution deliberately. There is a precise selection of each of the word from the sea of social administration and judicial balance. Paramount is the 'interest' of the 'public', but it's paramountcy is traded with the words like 'reasonable restrictions' and 'general' to balance their encroachment (public side view). In other words, it is an attempt to handle the disorder which may prevail if will of the public is given paramountcy (administrator side view). It can be said to be a non-empirical and non-mathematical model of validation. Presently, when you come across TV Series' like Person of Interest and alike, this fundamental method of reasoning seems to be loosening i...
