Wake up call

One not so fine day when waking up from bed itself was an everyday's achievement i heard the news '2 girls were arrested for their FB status' from the almost million calls/texts I got from my friends. I had read the news somewhere else the previous day and just as always my mind wrote a story for that headline - someone suicide and by checking FB police came to know who was tied up in the case and in the end 2 girls were arrested (yes you are right i need to stop watching too many movies) and also feeling proud about technological advancement and power of social media penetration in our country, I skipped the channel without listening to what really happened because it was time for my favorite program in another channel  But the incident didn't stop there.

That very evening another friend of mine asked if it is possible to make such arrests, I gave her a big lecture explaining the benefits of social media to public sector and government. But by that night everything changed

I got around 10-15 calls from many people of which few i had lost contacts ( though they are in my FB friend's list) advising me about my FB usage. I still feel most of them called me to confirm if I was the girl and I still feel few really wished me to be so.

Wondering why? I guess my nick name would explain it better - 'like freak'. Yes that is my nick name. I belong to the category of people who just use FB to like every other person's activity. You know why I do it? Because people post statuses and comments wishing it to sound good/intelligent/noticeable. When nobody likes it they may feel bad or upset. I don't like people who I know to feel bad and thus I like whatever they do :p - I don't remember reading most of what I like too.

And with the number of calls i got, the news was surely a wake up call for me - not just the morning calls which made me leave my lovable bed or a wake up mentally to the consequences and laws of my country but also to my addiction - 'login FB -> like like like -> logout' habit. 

I don't know about the laws and I don't know anything about that incident nor do I say that it is right or wrong. But one thing I now know which is wrong is my courtesy likes. So i give up my nick name -like freak' from this second. So you needn't be freaked out about the number of times my name appears in your ticker and you definitely don't have to unsubscribe me. No more' like' torture-that is assured. :P :P
