How NOT to React to India-Pakistan Conflict




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.

Do not share
Congratulations! It seems like you are reading the news more often nowadays. But do we really need you to share the same online? I mean we all have legit Wi-Fi connections and there are already plenty of news sources that are bombing us with news every second. So if you thought we haven't read it, we did already and you don't need to hit the "share" button. Also, since most of the media houses have mastered the art of fake news, it's better not to share anything and everything that you find out there. 

Discard temporary spirit
Very sure, after a month or two, you won’t even bother about what happened and will be happily back to posing, meme-ing and posting food pictures. If you are not thinking about your country 24*7 then stop being patriotic suddenly for a few days just like we all do on the 26th of January and 15th of August. 

Limit your “expert” inputs
Let’s get it straight. If you are not a celebrity or funny, the views that you are putting on social media doesn’t count, and definitely doesn’t necessarily make you look more intelligent or well-versed.  Of course, your personal views matter but I hope you know that nobody is interviewing you on Facebook.


CONCLUSION: Use your rare gift of common sense and before posting anything on Facebook (probably during your adrenaline rush), ask yourself, is it necessary?

The funny side of the horror movies!

The horror movies scare us but still we watch them for excitement and the supernatural concept. I really love watching Hollywood horror movies and some of the Bollywood horror movies. I am sure that most of you people also love them. But after watching a horror movie today, I realized that more or less, most of the Hollywood horror movies are the same. Don’t second me on that? Okay, I will give you reasons to second me! Most of the Hollywood horror movie starts with a happy couple, their kids and their dog moving into a new house. And where is this ‘new house’ they are moving into? An already haunted looking big house which is away from the civilization (I got you from the first point only). The house already looks scary but the family moves in anyway. I am right, right? Well, wait till I remind you that the family dog is always the first one to suspect that there’s something wrong with the house. The dog barks persistently but in vain. The happy family sees no wrong i

Cinderella trolled!(Boys can also read this)

Dear Cinderella, You are the most beautiful and the most prominent Disney princess ever. So popular that,more or less even the boys know you and your story. I remember how much I wanted to be like you when I was a child because I could relate to your dreams(not life). But as now I have grown up, I kind of hate everything about you and everything that has been shown in your story. No, I don't hate you now just like that..I have got reasons. Well, first of all let me tell you that you lack that self respect which I expect to see in a girl. Your cruel step-mother and step sisters mistreated you to the extent. But what you did? You happily became the maid of the house. Oh please Cinderella,you totally gave the wrong message. You taught us that let cruel people show their atrocity on you. Wrong message. Secondly, you behave so nicely with your step mother and step sisters even after all they do is treat you badly and make you work. What's the need of being so good t
