As he stood there yet again, looking over at the window, with his binoculars in one hand and a key-ring, his lucky charm in the other. He knew something was wrong today, He could see some women's clothes strewn across haphazardly in the apartment. He had known for a while that he was cheated upon by Shiva, his ex-bf, but seeing him in bed with a woman was a shocking revelation. How could he do that to him? maybe only revenge would satisfy him now, would his lucky charm work its magic yet again, he wondered, checking the safety band of his revolver.
Flashlight, camera click, how many likes, how many followers is it all that matters in this world. Reading the book "Open" by Andre Agassi, I'm stuck with this one line "Image is Everything". It makes me question everything that happens around me. It keeps on replaying in my mind. I think that bit by bit, we are losing our human touch. We are now stuck in the reality of virtual world. People have all the time in this world for social media sites but no time for human beings. Human beings are losing one thing that made them a social beings- their ability to express their emotions instead of hiding behind the social media. I am afraid that we are on our way of becoming ROBOTS.
