Social Media-is it a blessing?

My Thoughts


Social media is a very expedient and obligatory medium for communication nowadays, but have we ever thought that is it a blessing to our world or just the opposite? Well, I have.

Social media is something without which you, your parents and even your parents’ parents might not be able to persist a day in this world. It is very commonly seen that one is wishing his father or mother birthday on social media first then wishing in person might seem a second thought only. Our world has changed in many ways since social media was brought into existence and I am beholden that it exists because otherwise I won’t be writing this blog, but is it really a godsend?

Social media has changed us all into a different person overnight, a soul who is continuously trying to beat the others in the game of show off. It has deleterious effects on the person’s self-worth, for he is comparing his life with that of the others. And of course to tell his friend that he is richer than him he won’t go up to him and tell him that, he will probably try to show off; which will lead to a complete money waste. But what if he does not have enough money to show off? He will probably get depressed. It has had many bad effects on the users who receive critics online and feel dejected.

Social media has a positive side also though. It might encourage some people to start doing something or make something their ambition maybe, which might actually benefit them and encourage them to do more. It even helps people improve and let themselves know that they always have more to look forward in life. Sometimes, social media might be the reason one is doing something in life. It is a mode to explore and form friendships online. It is also a convenient mode to increasing the audience on blogs and vlogs which may help them in achieving success.

 Social media is a blessing to the world but it has its negative effects also, which makes it hard for me to decide whether it is a boon or a bane. But after considering the good and bad points about social media, I would sum up that social media is more over a boon than a bane.

When Wishes Come True by Rabindranath Tagore

A BOOK REVIEW: This story explains that you always don't get what you wish for, and if you do there can be many complications. It explains one of the most important part of  our life. It tells us that our childhood is something we should enjoy to its fullest, for time never turns back. The story has two protagonists so it isn’t exactly possible to hate anyone. Tagore begins by saying that namesakes aren’t always true- a reference to Subal and Sushi, ad their paradoxical attitudes. As they make their wishes they are granted, too. But as said in the preamble there were too many complications. This book actually was a reconciliation of four stories and I liked this story the best. Its author, Rabindranath Tagore, was a well known poet, laureate, artist and philosopher- he wrote elegant prose and magical poetry. His stories are quite sensitive, fresh and beautiful.

Stages of a Stressful Homework

HOMEWORK- SHOULD IT BE BANNED: PART II After coming to a conclusion that homework can be worthwhile as well as another thing for the students to sweat about, this post illuminates the stages a student goes through when completing a homework- before, during and after. Before receiving a bundle of homework the students, generally, are seen trying to enjoy the last minutes of their freedom and sovereignty. Once having obtained homework from one subject, they try to prepare themselves for the upcoming war. By the end of school, they are already analyzing how much of their play time will be compromised in trying to complete the homework. Even though, some humane teachers don’t ask for the submission of the homework the following day straightaway, but majority of the students prefer completing the homework beforehand due to their own explicit reasons, one of which being the fact that teachers give extra marks to those who submit homework and assignments before the deadline. The s...

The Story of All Parents.

Note to my dearest parents: Happy birthday! I am sorry I cannot give a better gift to you than a mere blog post- but words are the only gifts that can even come close to explain how much I love you, and how much you mean to me. I hope you understand. Parents. They are the only people in the universe who give you every single thing in the world and never ask for it back. They let you dwell on your dreams and keep the problems faced during the course of accomplishing it to themselves. They will always let you think that everything is alright even when they are under more pressure than they can handle. Parents will do anything to shield you from your fears and enemies but yet won’t be afraid to tell you to stop when you walk into the wrong direction. They act like a compass- it shows you the right direction flawlessly unless there is too much of magnetic force. Similarly, parents can tell you what to do and what not to, but once you start to take into account- the...
