Selfie
I go to the garden opposite my house everyday in the evening, where I see many boys/girls taking a selfie – a craze which has been recognized now as a clinical dis-order called “screen obsession”, if it is your predominant passion. Personally, I don’t see anything abnormal in this, since most of us are heavily body-conscious. Paradoxically, the first lesson taught in nursery level of Vedanta is “I-am-not-this-body”, and perhaps it is also the last lesson we choose to imbibe or accept. Nevertheless, when I see the “Selfie-culture” prosper, I wonder if someday, they will come up with a camera which can capture our mind (feelings, emotions we entertain) and which will exhibit out thoughts, instincts, and beliefs. It sounds only so dangerous. Imagine that someone closest to us has an access to our inner personality or anybody can see our thoughts, feelings, and the inner murmur while we are acting so sanely or saintly outside. I wonder how many relationships will survive to see the sun-ris...
