Suffering from social isolation ?! is media responsible?

"My answer to this would be yes and no both. We human beings are always scared to speak up, come forward and face situations. Introverts will understand this more. I am no exception. We understand how it feels of not being able to speak up or loosing words while speaking.Or may be we are easily out of subject ! That's sad ,ain't it? But yes , I can say I am not suffering from Social Isolation now because my course of Media Science does not allow me to be one. I will explain my topic through myself.I got lot of friends from my two schools and two colleges but sometimes I question myself ,How many valuable friends did I get for all these years? Actually introspecting myself ,I can question myself  whether I am the one who cannot mix up with the people?Am I socially isolated or just that I think my friends are not able to accept me for their own reasons! Well, I am not the one who should try to judge that but what I can is to judge my problem and trying to solve my complexi...

Masked over social media or identity crisis?

Image
Are we masked over social media or is it just our identity crisis? Well, to some it’s masked and to some it is identity crisis. Social media is somewhere where the information has no limits.It is open to all. The more one tries to restrict information on social media, social media tries to find the second path to avoid any kind of restrictions. And us, the most intelligent beings on earth! We spend much of our intelligence on understanding social media which is of course good! But while investing the intelligence, we are also being the prey to social media .We try to hide ourselves as long as we are active in that platform. We cover ourselves while expressing our views. Now we may ask ourselves, are we suffering from identity crisis while being masked? Yes, we are all afraid and we all try to save ourselves from being questioned on social media.We are all free to think, we have right to speech but on social media, wait a second! We are questioned every second on social media for eve...

A Night and my Story

Everything is now destroyed by the storm•• Everything is dark with the sky turned brown•• I can hear the violent winds howl Striking the glass windows and the trees shaking their heads in dread. The rain drops shattered themselves ghastly on the window panes . Oh dear!  I have lost myself in the romanticism of the destruction as my fragmented heart relished being moistened by the passion of the violent storm••••

Art work or selfie?

Art work or selfie on social media -which is now more desirable? People will say art work is desirable of course, it’s aesthetic and its worth appreciative. Now a days people have somewhere forgotten to appreciate a good work but what they are looking for are  selfies where they can comment on or some yellow pages to stick to . Yes, this is the real in the world of social media ! We all like to say we love reading good articles ,viewing good pictures but are we not saying just for Showcasing our status to society?probably yes for me.Actually our eyes crave not for our art work but for the self exhibition and I am not exception to it.Good art work is now of a less value than that of a pouted selfie..there are only 20 likes for a good art work but 200 likes for a selfie.Aint that a good self exhibition ? Media is diverse and people are not able to understand the real uses.Social media is an infotainment platform and for me it should be a well balance of information and entertai...

Love-a feeling or just social status on social media? We are born with some emotions and love happens to be one of them.Love is something which you feel but cannot explain but  just happens .It is a private matter that expects to be respected .  But is this feeling really stays a feeling or just an update in one’s life over social media? Social media is a huge diary of proven as well as unproven facts where no one gets spared of reading those and to be honest it feels good reading too  But is it very necessary to post your relationship status over Facebook? These messages can be conveyed personally and not everybody is interested in the personal life .Now the true meaning of love has changed from the most beautiful feeling to a post with 1000comments and 1000 likes. And what’s the future of this status ? A change in partners just after few days or some shitty screenshots of private talks or in worst condition some private pictures .Also people like reading...

Taking up photography as a profession-is it that easy? Well,Photography is a visual art which requires lot of creativity and hardwork . Being a photographer you need to research each and every detail of your surrounding .  Nowadays people have been freelancing with photography and surely 70% of youth has turned into photographers but in most cases that is unprofessional. Now the percentage of trained photographers is very less compared to that of the unprofessional and people have started believing that only clicking some good display/profile pictures for Facebook or what’s app can make them good photographers. For this reason only,People have stopped recognizing the professional and good photographers .Now it’s very difficult to get a job related to photography in the world of so many non-professionals and choosing a career in photography has now become one of lucrative yet unachievable aspect.  Photography requires construction of pictures within mind (pre-produc...

Bengali soaps

Serials-Bengali soap operas - is that the real scenario and what about women?  Soap operas are those that entertains people, is made for the entertainment purpose. Bengali soap operas are mostly over meloddramatic dramas based on a family where one husband has 2 wives or vice versa and its very important that one wife will be from village and other from the city. Village wife being uneducated becomes  first in her class while the educated wife becomes the poison of the family .The fact that villains are more intelligent.  What I am going to talk about is that why women are shown as use and throw material? Is it very necessary to showcase the fact that woman defines weaker section of society. We intellectuals shout for abolition of patriarchy but its same us who make the show as well as watch it and also awarded on stage. Feminist says equality for both men and women in the eye of law but are these serials not the key to the fuming patriarchy? Serials are act of da...

WhatsApp -a real time ?

Whatsapp-is real time messaging application? I have recently joined an institution where I have started studying Media Science.I met few people while trying to converse with few.But alas!  The person sitting right next to me did not ask for a single time that “Hey, what’s your name”Fortunately or unfortunately this is the same guy texting over 50messages in the WhatsApp group!The guy don’t even know who is sitting beside. Now my question is whether the WhatsApp has become so much a real time application that people are forgetting the reality? Even if digital media is expanding and is one of the major dimensions of the changing society,because of Digital-spaces like WhatsApp or Facebook,people are forgetting to talk and not finding any topic to discuss on when being in persons.They have stopped socializing .Facebook and WhatsApp are probably the best things that happened in the digital arena but now they have their negative impact.Thats a true curse among many positives...
