The Indisputable Bong

I grew up people calling me a replica of Barbie. When I was 6, I owned just one but promised myself to buy more when I start earning. Now 20-something and 3 years of fat pay cheques later, Barbie never really appeared on my shopping list. 1.    Because my sense prevailed with age. 2.    Investing in food sounded better to me. The iconic doll celebrated her 60th birthday on March 9, 2019, and what surprised me, was that unlike every year, I completely forgot her birthday this time. Well, it's alright! After all, Barbie is not an inspiration to me anymore and shouldn't be for any of us. 36-18-33 That’s Barbie's vital statistics.

It’s been more than two weeks since the Pulwama attack in J&K. I haven’t publicly commented on the whole incidence and its aftermath, although technically, as a Journalist, I should. But then I saw innumerable expert comments already displayed on my Facebook feed. Surprisingly, even people on my friend list who I thought can only make Tik Tok videos and share memes are also actively posting and sharing whatever anti-Pakistan posts they can find. So, do we need social media soldiers? Well... STOP!  According to my very recent observation, for every 50 stupid people, there is one smart person on Facebook. This one smart person understands that posting about the need to declare war is not going to help anyone. This person also knows that NO ONE from their family is going to fight in the war zone, so he/she shouldn’t encourage the idea of war as someone else might die.  In brief- Are you going to join the fight physically? No?! Then quit Facebook and go get a life.
