Attention, seekers!
Pay heed to the above phrase. If the comma had not been there, I would've been calling, rather accusing all of you of being an attention seeker. But, would I be wrong?
The kind of people who like to seek attention are also called wannabes. But, living in Bombay, we'd say that this place is full of them. Having said that, I also want to encourage the words attention seekers than wannabes. Derogatory the latter sounds, right? Being an attention seeker is something everyone inherently excels in. Wannabes, not everyone, because of course, the word has a negative connotation.
We live in a country full of phonies. We survive in a virtual world of social networking websites or applications. For example, a person with whom you may be good friends with on Facebook, but in person, it's a different ball game altogether. Bet you can't even find two words to say after "Hey, wassup?"
On the internet, everyone has a chance to sound cool, witty (given enough time frame to retort to someone's wise-ass comment) . It forms this mask, that very few people know who you are.
Now I know I'm not the first one to point it out, and I ain't going to be the last. On facebook, twitter, or even this blog.. We seek people who would pay attention to what we have to say. Some might call it expressing their opinion.
There are categories in such kinds of people as well:
1. Who claim that they do not care about people commenting on their status, tweets or articles, but actually care..
2. Who actually don't give a rat's fart. These are self-sufficient people. Who-the-fuck-gives-a-fuck kind.
Thinking over this again I realized, nobody is mutually exclusive to one category. So well, the point of this post is, umm.. pointless.
Good to be back though!

This is a nice theme. Light read. Now you exactly know why I deactivated. I want to know the person,I don't care what you seem to me. All said and done, we will still keep fbing and all that...little will change. Me included.
Hey good to see you back :D
Although majority of the people online try to appear smarter and better and cooler than what they are, there are a few who are the same in both dimensions, I dunno why I said this maybe cuz I consider myself one of them :P
Also, everyone to some degree cares about what the other person has to say, we are human beings after all,opinion does matter,no?
