Facebook is certainly getting quirkier, kinkier and crazier by the minute,hour and with each passing day; poor old moi off late has been privy to many an instance of the person who has posted something on his/her facebook profile being the first to like the same post and to top it all came across an instance where more than a 150 people had liked the rather sad episode of somebody's father having passed away into the great beyond that we better know as heaven, and the very fact that more than a 150 people had liked or then in a convoluted way celebrated a dear one's demise left me wondering whether these 'enlightened' gentlemen and ladies were in complete control of their physical and mental faculties and even aware of what they were doing in the first place? the very fact that somebody can like a dear parent's demise continues to bemuse, befuddle and amaze me. Our forebears always maintained that we are living in the age of Kalyug and that the end of the world is not too far away. Well, I don't know too much about the impending end of the world, but such mindless antics have certainly reinforced my long held beliefs about the human species getting loonier with every material advancement or enhancement, or then to put it simply we seem to be going round the bend as our economic status shows signs of improvement........This is my observation,argument and thesis, what's yours?????
