Since I've not received likes, however hard I've had tried to receive them from my friends and acquaintances for my 'What's on your mind', I pasted just 'no-no' types of photos on my wall much to the discomfort of my younger friends who are close to me. I was told, much to my satisfaction (I was satisfied and excited, because they had at least taken interest), later that they had talked among themselves about what had gone wrong with me. I told them 'nothing wrong' right away. Unlike my younger, teenager friends - girls or boys - I can't think even in the wildest of wild dream of ever pasting photos of nude, semi-nude or stark naked girls on my walls. Nor, can I ever think of tagging any friend in such a photo, for that matter. My sincere request, therefore, to all my friends is: Friends are friends, after all. Sharing such explicit material among friends publicly or tagging a dear friend to such objectionable photos is quite deplorable and objectionable. If, however, any friend is interested in it, he/she can, of course, share such photos via personal e-mails.
The recent past, I was puzzled to see a photo right at the click on my wall. It sort of transfixed me. Eyes remained open. I even forgot to blink. My mouth was half open (I was agape) in surprise. Why to create this kind of situation, when we feel uncomfortable? Why to paste such photos, whereas we can have beautiful photos, messages and educative slogans that we must endear ourselves to? My friends, facebook is, as is known, a social networking site where people of all ages are open to make friends with men & women and girls & boys and where people are networked, irrespective of caste, creed, education, profession and, of course, political views. Why, then, can't we share our views, opinions and paste such photos that look beautiful, illustrative and informative and that are awe-inspiring and thought-provoking, as well? This is just my suggestion and request to all my friends.
