FB Affair Ends!!!

I just started editing the first five poems for my fourth book. It feels good when you can write to get out of the same stressful life. I read poems written by my author friend Alan and feel so de-stressed. A 14 years old girl committed suicide after she was cheated by a 21 years old man who made her fall in love and whatever.........why people get to FB for all this. I still believe there is a dark side of virtual world and one should known where to draw the line.

Writing is like meditation for me. It makes me get out of pain and feel good about life. Life is around social networking sites or these touch gadgets - android phones and endless apps to make our lives easy and more prone to problems. Fall in love virtually, get cheated and feel depressed to commit suicide. Please it is a note to all such children who are using FB or many such social networking sites - do not get trapped. Believe in what you see and till you are not mature to judge the virtual world, better stay away from it. I had a busy childhood too much troublesome but I am glad it was not technologically driven. We had no mobiles, computers et al to misguide us. It all depends how we make use of our creation or innovation. 

Coin has two sides. Every innovation has many sides to its creation. Look and make use of the brighter side. At the age of 14, one should be more devoted to study rather than dating a guy that too online. Be sensible to make a difference between the real world and the virtual world.

Cheers:)
