Hello Socialites,
Alia Bhatt, a beautiful young lady, sweet and fabulous, enough to make a
guy like me, drool. Some would say she was born with a silver spoon and for a
brief period of time I believed the same. But it would be too stupid to try and
take away credit from her after seeing that incredible performance in her
latest movies (Highway). It's just not the silver spoon, the girl is really
talented and we all should appreciate it.
Sarthak Agarwal, another young boy. A class XII CBSE board topper with
99.6% marks. Man that is something out of this world. It takes immense amount
of dedication and hardwork to study that much. Scoring that much is surely not
a cakewalk.
Both, Alia and Sarthak have nothing common with each other. Nothing. Yet,
no matter how huge this world is, it is round, and their fate finally found
something common in them. Alia Bhatt and Sarthak Agarwal have both become
internet sensations in no time. And no, not for what they have achieved, well,
actually for that, but not for good, for bad.
I am talking about those memes or trolls or whatever you call it these
days. They are NOT funny anymore. Alright, I get it, she made a mistake on a
prime time tv show, a mistake that a celebrity like her shouldn't do. Not
knowing your leader, your minister, is certainly not a good thing, but hey, not
everybody knows everything and she certainly didn't commit an unforgivable sin.
So judging somebodies IQ based on that one remark and claiming her to be dumb does
not make you any less dumb. And you make jokes and trolls about a guy scoring
more grades than you could possibly imagine, how and why is that justifiable?
No. I am not a Saint. I for once,
don't wear a white hat and i have shared one, well whom am I kidding, many of
those jokes and trolls and I plead guilty. When I gave it a thought, I
understood, we are poking fun at a person’s expense. And making fun of someone
over the internet, belittling someone, it's easy. Trying doing this to their
face, try calling Alia Bhatt dumb to her face and you'll understand what dumb
really stands for.
All this trolls, all this jokes might even have bad effect on a person.
Imagine you're Alia or Sarthak, you go online and the first thing you see is a
joke made on you, belittling you. How do you feel? How well do you take a joke
made on your IQ level? How do you feel when someone make fun of your
achievements? Don't you start vilifying the person who does that? Don't you
feel like knocking their teeth down their throat? Or are you the sweetest
person in the world? Imagine how helpless Alia and Sarthak are, they can't
really rip apart a million tongues but you surely can knock out that one person
who makes fun of you.
Well, this ugly things are not limited to just them, it varies to a wide
variety of people. From our ex-PM to Mr. Kejriwal, from Ishant Sharma to Virat
Kohli, from SRK to Big B. Nobody has escaped from such hypocrisies. No matter
how respected the person might be, he is despised for one thing or other.
And the reason I'm writing this is not out of a sudden enlightenment but
out of pity. I pity what this world has become. A bunch of sick sadistic human
beings make fun of a certain celebrity filing a case for molestation and the
rest of the world just share and retweet it? Is this what Indian culture is all
about? Have we lost respect for our fellow citizens? Have we become so shallow
and foul hearted that we strive on somebody else's personal matters to make
jokes and have fun? Where-o-where are our morals?
As predicted based on the Mayans calendar, 2012 was supposed to be the end
of the world, well, it's 2014 and we all are alive, but when you think about
it, the world truly ended. This God's green earth, it lived on humanity and
with the evolution of social media, humanity rests in peace!
It's my humble request to all the
social media user, from Twitter to Facebook, please stop pleasing yourself and
the world at someone’s expense. Stop belittling a person.
It's okay to make trolls about a fictional character, it is okay to make a
troll about Batman and Joker but when you make fun of Christian Bale and
Ledger, it is personal and morally not right.
I hope I convey my thought quiet clearly. So, next time you create or share
a troll, before you click that button, think!
Spread a smile by your deeds not trolls.
Your Fellow Netizen,
A guilty troller.
