What’s wrong with people at Facebook?

-

Getting back 5 or 6 years ago, what do you do when you feel sad or low, you talk

to your mother about your problem, you try to ping your best friend and pour

your sad story. What do you think is happening now. The phase which you call

facebook or social media era. When people miss their friend, they simply update

their Facebook status “hey X I miss you. I wish you were here now… feeling sad”.

So what is that people trying to convey by letting other 500 friends on Facebook

by this status. Is he/she missing  X? or he/she wants other people along with X to

know the feeling of her/him?



I'd a friend in college, who doesn’t talk to anyone (mostly) in classroom, but she

has a good flow in crying in her Facebook status. Why this contradiction. What

makes people to let know their other 500 friends on Facebook that she's feeling

sad but, not to the one sitting next to her at classroom.



Facebook has changed people behavior to large extent unknowingly. People are

yet to realize that their character and the way they behave are molded by social

media platform. If you felt suddenly emotional about your best friends and family, is a public

status really the way you’d express it? Wouldn’t contacting your best friend by

text or over call, be a lot more personal and genuine?

Believe me, virtually, nobody is reserved.

Let see things this way.  Why can't we bring Facebook concept into reality?

Isn't that will be a good habit if we make new friends in reality than over

Facebook. Why can't we share our feelings with our best friend which makes

relationship bond stronger, than on Facebook, why letting stranger to know how

you feel today. Let your mother, father and friends know how you feel today. Ping

them often, share your feelings. That makes sense.

Let's poke people have fun. Let's comment on each others. Let's come out of the

facebook stigma, that the amount of likes we get does not anyway decide our

worthiness.

Close encounter of an Asian Openbill.

-
Image
September 2017, Chawand Village, Udaipur, Rajasthan. Name: Asian Open Bill Location: Maharana Pratap lake, Sarada Block, Udaipur. Shot on: One Plus X (a 13-megapixel mobile phone) I didn’t expect her to fall into my frame. It was a random click counting on my luck but the outcome proved me lucky.  It was not baited, set up or called in.  I didn’t hope much to click interesting takeoff or flight shot when the Bill left the tree. In fact, it was peacefully settled at the top of the small tree, and a sudden bike engine noise provoked her to move away from the place. I felt it was not a common sight for a visitor. On my way back, I realised that I should really pay attention to discover the beauty next to me.

A problem solving experiment

-

Udhaifala is a tribal village located 15km from Sarada block of Udaipur, Rajasthan. The temperature in Rajasthan during summer rises up to 45ºC. There is no electricity supply to the school resulting in high humid inside classroom during summer and post-summer. Udhaifala school at monsoons. Doesn't feel like Rajasthan right? As part of Gandhi fellowship, I work in this primary school which consists 4 classrooms out of which only 2 is functional. It is very congested to seat all 83 students in two classrooms without electricity, resulting in lack of concentration among students and teacher often lose interest in classroom teaching.   The proposed solution to the problem should be cost-effective and works practically without electricity. I strongly remember a Bangladeshi firm trying an experiment of making a zero electricity air cooler without electricity itself. After a small research, I came up with the know-how of the solution.  So this is the how part of th

Agriculture is and always been mine interest and lately becoming my passion too. Born and brought up in Pondicherry, I had volunteered in nearby villages on farming regularly, notably organic farms. During farm work at Sristi Village in Pondicherry Recently, I've taken a baby step in pursuing one of my interest, Sustainable Farming. I, now work in a tribal belt of Rajasthan under Gandhi Fellowship. We mainly focus on improving the quality of public education by working in Government schools, primarily building capacities of teachers and headmasters. Working far from the homeland, despite language and culture being alien here, I stepped forward to try hands my on agriculture here in Rajasthan, not on field work, but by providing knowledge support.   A comprehensive discussion with a farmer contributed vastly to the development of this idea and design. I met a farmer who has a high interest in reading. Reading habit among farmer is un
