The urge to express...

I have been reading anything and everything the the world of blogs has to offer and recently got active as hell on facebook.One thing has struck me again and again that we indeed have a very furious urge to express ourselves,to the point it can be called a disorder.I guess it comes from a renewed sense of individuality that has come up lately in concurrence with the economic boom.All of us have this feeling of possessing something unique which needs to be go up for public display(it can be as insignificant as being being able to devour 100 pani-puris in no time).This pressing desire also signifies a sort of doom for the existing ways of socially connecting (i resist from the ubiquitous word social networking) mainly because we go for in-person meetings when circumstances force us to do so,like i have to meet that person at work or i have to attend that wedding. Well, i don't know how to end this post but i guess something might have been conveyed to the reader.I seriously dont know what that might be!

    But there are people who want to shield some precious memories or person from the world...then these social-networking site becomes nothing but just a mode to stay connected with friends...they just don't let themselves be easily understood by the world...
    I, personally may be very concious of status I write on FB..one should not be an open book...and this is something I have already learnt at the age of 22...and I'll be very glad if it solves some of my problems or confusions of my present life or future life...

    take care...enjoy...

    I do agree that the so-called 'Socially Connecting' sites do satisfy the compulsive and desperate urge to express almost anything and and many a times these myriad things are trivial but then these sites also assist people to share their precious moments which they ll cherish their whole lyf to share them with their old and distant friends and in this regard they no doubt help us to remain socially connected.
