Facebook or FACE LIFE?????

It is so good to be back and I am at a great mood as I sit to write my next blog post. The reason behind this is I realized that my readers who read me, for them my writing matters.  While some say that the motivation has been in coma for a while, ;) others believe I have stopped writing. :( However honestly it is better not to write as a writer until you are completely convinced that you have some story to tell the world. My blogs has never been about something which we do not deal in our daily life, it is like a talk between me and my readers. I share not only what I learnt but what I did all the while. Yes to start with I had taken some time off my world to meet some new people, give them chance to know me and vice versa. However it is sad to know that people are quite screwed up these days. I recall the days when we were a kid. 

Hello I am Computer! I have all your friends in me! Your life without me is like being friendless because you are not on Facebook!!! 

It was so beautiful, less digitization of life and less complications! Less expectations and more happiness, more love and more faith. These days when people get into relationship, either of the counterpart demands to change the relationship status on facebook, then post couple pics and then romantic status. It is such a wonderful thing to know that people love each other so much, and then they crave to be accepted by others. Again there is nothing wrong in it, but one of you refuse to do what your partners wants you to you are judged, unlike the past with no such complication. But sometime some people may not want to do it for the fear of it not working and then becoming a laughing stock among your friends. Today Facebook has become the open diary of our life where all the stories of people can be read like- 

"Hungry!"

"Eating Maggi"

"I just met an accident"

"My girlfriend is a slut. She is sleeping with my bestfriend!"

I do feel this kind of space is where you connect with friends, you share your interests, your passion and sometime nice quotes, pictures etc, however I never get the logic of these kind of updates. Its not that I have never posted a ridiculous status in my whole life. But my question is what does it change about my life? Or may be I give some more people the freedom to judge me even that is fine but why should everyone know about my life, it is my life after all. When i feel something why cant i write it in a diary? Why I have to post a status on facebook for others to like and dislike and comment on it? However I can give you several examples but it is not even about the status but I believe the virtualization is of no good for mankind. 

I don't like you anymore! I block you! 

I do believe to a certain extent it is a blessing, but these days a boy want to connect with a girl, the medium is Facebook and then they want to end relationship one simple thing they would do is go to the privacy setting to block that person. Does it end whatever they had all this time? A Facebook block is really a end of relationship? If you need to meet a person to share some romantic moments is it not necessary to tell them in person to give a closure? A Facebook and a Whatsapp is a sheer insult to you and to me and to people whom you liked once. To know a person we chat, to take it ahead we meet and after meeting we block. This has sadly happened with many friends of mine. I remember myself also blocking people but for different reasons, not because I was over them and I wanted them out of my life. When I wanted someone out of my life I told them. May be that is blunt but perhaps a little respect to people and their feelings? Hence my friends know I don't talk on whatsapp and I don't talk on Facebook. I just reply it is like a text messaging service for me. I do believe the one who truly likes me will rather make sure to be with me then trying to feel good of themselves over chat with the illusion that they are getting to know me, Chat has made connecting so easy that people don't need to meet now. They need more space than ever. They decide whom to hangout with and whom to chat with. i find this whole dynamics pathetic, call me old school but this is what it is. I think if we want to build relationships in our life we rather go offline than online.
