Nonetheless peeps like us dont give a damn as the securities are all well sorted.
One such trending buzz about these social networking websites is the 'Number of likes that one gets on their profile pictures' these days.
Amongst teenagers it is more common to hear "Yaar kitne likes aaagaye?" Than "Kitne marks aye tere?" Whatever we do, wherever we are, as soon as we upload anything we always have it at the back of the mind "kitne likes agaye honge ab tak???/kisne kya comments kiye honge???Unn comments pe kitne likes aye honge???"And so on.
'Picture perfect competition' exists irrespective of the girl-boy difference.
Its a competition where whosoever's picture has highest comments , that person wins, in the sense of being more of a socially popularly known person. The race to earn more likes and comments seems neverending.
100 has become a common figure.
I was sitting next to my cousin who uses one such similar website. I saw what he was doing. And i asked him "why have you liked this picture, whats in that you like about it ,thats making you comment".
And he said "Its like a treaty you sign up when you comment, with a person you're doing it for".
"And its exactly like a comment in return of a comment." He added.
"You get what you give" does this hold true in the virtual world as well??
All the editing done, professional photography cameras used and ofcourse 'selfies' now, are meant to earn one with more and more comments.
Even the leading internet service provider multinational telecommunications company has used comments and likes ko kamana wala funda in their ad to promote the use of internet.
