Social media

But sharing a picture

Isn't that pretty easy

Why not share food or

Share some responsibility


Sharing a snap for self gratification

Though having chosen the most perfect one to share

Knowing of having applied many filters

We still want approval in terms of likes


And likes from whom ?

People whom we know not even a percent.

Also what is it they like ?

Person in picture

The filter that make them look flawless

Or the places picture shows them wandering in.


We like what pleases us

We want likes to please ourself


So for long have I been of the opinion 

that social media is only to seek attention

Well now I think differently 

It has more layers than one can see.


This game is not just for the eyeballs 

the freedom of expression, 

the fulfilling innate desire for connection

that makes social media so enticing.


While most people use it to their disadvantage

Posting for validation

Comparing with others and being anxious

That doom scrolling designed by an algorithm

causing serious brain rot


Truth be told one can
ride this beast of social media 

To their advantage

And trust me it can do magic!

What a girl wants?

I don't wish to be a trophy of your home, I am a slice of this universe. With choices of my own, Don't hold me back by the stereotypes. As I don't wish to go along, the usual flows or traditional ways. Like a recurring tide that moves all along still at the shore, it stays. Let me be a young river make meanders and flow, Let me bask in the sun and glow. Don't make me fear the bruise and burns I may get, For without taking a plunge far more I will regret.

Weird Modern Women

They are called modern in every era For they dare to be different Push the social boundaries Ask explanation for traditions That paint them weak, Keep them away from power, Burden them with responsibility, Curb their right to choose  and push them to just follow- the mores and customs & practices most of which they despise. She is often caught and pulled back  by this social web  so intricately knit that guides her look her every move her  every choice because she fears being an outcast It is so skillfully made That even in her rebel too she tortures herself to fit a checklist of liked/ desirable women  From waxing her body to wear that shorts/skirt to compromising her career for family it all looks fair and part of peaceful living.
