In my opinion ,social networking sites today have played a major role in the under development of the human brain.Let me tell you why. While i was addicted to FB and before that to Orkut, i used to spend hours looking at what other people were doing instead of thinking about my own. I was to comment on each damn post and picture i came across. I used to make such statements which not only attract attention but spark a debate too and that too needed to happen in my wall. I connected to old lost friends but the mutual desire to even connect honestly was lost too. And then one fine day i sat thinking of exactly what i wrote just now. I am 30 and doing such things dont suit my age anymore. I needed to spend time more nicely if not efficiently. The next finer day, i gave up everything that had to do with networking. The withdrawal symptoms do get you as all of a sudden you got nothing to do. But slowly you will try to kill it with other activities like guitar, video games or books in my case. I am much freer man than i used to be. However i was lucky that FB, Orkut and their likes didnt get me when i was young and when my brain was developing and learning faster than the speed of light. I escaped. I feel bad looking at the young generation addicted to internet and loosing their prime time in their cozy houses sitting in front of their laptops while ideally they should have been in the field playing. Zuckerberg might be one of the richest man in the world today, thanks to FB but his dis-service to the society is beyond correction. Like the famous inventor of AK-47 , Mikhail Kalashnikov once said - "I'm proud of my invention, but I'm sad that it is used by terrorists".

Prisoners of love...
Thought of the Jail, Thought of the Wall,
Thought of the fugitives, How violently do they fall,
But kind of similarity we share,
For when i fell in love with you,
Happily, I became a prisoner too..

Humans.. Humans... Humans
If sometime be there a debate between god and man on who is the greatest of them all, Man would probably loose but surely with a very small margin. Man invented music and since then has been inventing newer ones still and that constitutes the most lethal arm in human armoury against gods. Aldous Huxley had once quoted "After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music", and he was right. No matter what state of mind you are, music provides you with an escape, an escape which is beyond the known, and escape beyond reason. The intelligence of man is further proved when he successfully jotted down music on a paper and furthermore, even quantified it. God was alarmed on the super intelligent being he accidentally created and saw the dangers lurking ahead regarding the supremacy he had maintained till now. So he created discontent via means of earthquakes, volcanoes, storms, famines and their likes to keep humans busy. He furthermore appeared in different forms and created religions. His scheme to divide Humanity seemed to bear fruit and humans started to invent things to kill their own kind. The hatred amongst themselves grew to such levels that they made weapons more and more sophisticated which ultimately broke the barrier of earth and Man ventured into space. Their anger and hunger for knowledge made them go to other planets as well with an idea to colonize it. God simply couldn’t believe this. His grand plan had backfired and human quest for knowledge multiplied. However he was relatively safe as he resided many light years away until off course Einstein came in and gave the concept of E=MC2 bringing humans one step closer to him. Now at a time when every minute something is getting invented, God must be sitting quietly in his heavenly abode and pondering over …………a glass of Jack Daniels.
