In a world where even news channels cover opinions expressed on social media as "news headlines", its difficult to escape tweeting wars and comment debates. Even if you were the kind who does not bother about signing up for virtual communications in the virtual world, you would be forced to grab a peek out of curiosity. After all curiosity kills the cat. ( I know lame joke alert!!, well, moving on)
Well I have sometimes (out of boredom or joblessness,I confess) pushed myself into such arguments needlessly to say.And the amount of illogical matter that comes out of such discussions is huge. People all over the world bring a lot of inexperience and dumbness to the table.At times they drag you down to their level and beat you with their unusual prowess at it. It sometimes makes you doubt your own sanity. Seems like everyone is out to prove their point which in fact is nothing.Zero.Zilch.
You might wonder if there was any conclusion to these arguments : Does anyone win? Or its just another gimmick adapted by big names to enhance their popularity or dislike among the masses; both of which grab equal number of eyeballs and get tongues wagging and share equal footage of importance and manage to get their fair share of the most coveted "fifteen minutes of fame"?
The latest to hit the Indian edition of the vast realm of the internet were two big pieces of news:
1) A long shot at empowerment by world fashion magazine giant : VOGUE (therein lies the irony)
Watch the famed video here
It amazes me that a magazine which heavily relies on the scantily clad skinny bodies of "supermodels" and photo shops them even further to make them look anything but everyday women goes on a three minute long rant about "empowering women" in a way that mocks the entire male class into being maim. Just because its #mychoice. Which takes me back to a blog post I had written earlier. Read it here.
Anyway, any (and I mean any) move signifying empowerment (especially women's empowerment) is heavily lauded with ample praise for the ones featuring in it.(Read, Deepika Padukone). Or criticism. Or both.
2) The second piece were elaborate dissections of the Indian cricket team's poor performance in the semifinals against Australia
#wewontgiveitback - annoying hash tag no.2 in recent times. (psst.. Annoying hash tag No.1 was #mychoice in case you didn't notice earlier)
This crushing defeat brought to the fore the following :
Well that explains why Anushka Sharma watching her beau play makes bigger headlines and is attributed with the semi final defeat.
On a funny note, there is an eye opener video where the tables have turned on our beloved KRK and the critical fans alike. Watch it here.
It helps to know that a news reporter who is notorious who invites people for them up on his show also can be an ace at his game. *slow clap*
Whatever be the cause I am sure there have been infinite debates on them.
Its difficult to judge who is right when you find yourself thrust into such a situation because, in the words of Mark Twain --

This crushing defeat brought to the fore the following :
- Virat Kohli is a rebel without a cause. Enough said.
- Cricketers rely more on their arm candy more than they rely on their own skills for big games (according to Indian cricket fans)
Well that explains why Anushka Sharma watching her beau play makes bigger headlines and is attributed with the semi final defeat.
- With the arrival of the World Cup, everyone from a chaiwallah to a news reporter becomes an expert on the game
