Social media is ruining relationships

    You don't want to miss the part where your parents and siblings are enjoying a film together or your partner's face is beaming with joy after achieving a good result in exam, do you? But that that is happening around the planet.
    We've lost the true moments with our friends and family of our life because of social media. Ironically, by engaging with social media, we have lost the true moments of our life. In our quest to connect virtually, we disconnect from our reality and the people in it. We lose the experience of happiness in the process of trying to refine our smile for public consumption. Our attachment to positive reinforcement through likes and comments will keep us detached only.
    A tool to connect us with others makes us feel isolated and obsessed over the appearance we're making, the responses we're getting, the impressions we're giving.
   If devices constantly interfere with our conversations, we undermine our ability to connect with others. Some of us misses the flicker of emotion in his or her daughter's eye, the look of exasperation of his partner, or the attempt of a friend to share something meaningful with him. Theoretically, social media is meant to connect us, but in reality, it acts as a barrier.

Is life really a race? If so, then why?

You have to be number one in class. You must have more friends. You must have a job that pays higher than that of your neighbour’s. You must become more successful than your batch mate in college.    Life is like a race but it is more than just a competition. The greatest man might not be the richest, the fastest, the strongest or the wisest. Men who are continuously trying to get ahead of the next guy will never be happy. So have they truly won anything?    Looking at it from another angle, I see life as a journey, with a few mountains to climb, some bumps in the road; not just something to endure. There are stops along the way. So pause, smell the roses and enjoy the trip.   I could ask like Aristotle , “A race for what?” The only end line I know of is mortality, and to be honest, I’m not in much of a hurry to get there. You don ’t need to race but – You need a degree . – You need social skills . – You need money to live. – Employers ...

This impressive car can cost you less than $900!

This car is not even a normal car! You can ask for the senses of the engineers who make the fire-breathing speed slasher like Hennessey Venom GT that packs a mind blowing 1500 horsepower and reaches a top speed of 287 mph mined from a poisonous 7.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine. Named after a Spanish fighting bull of the 1940s, the Lamborghini Reventon features a 6.5-litre V12 engine that produces 650 horsepower and 478 lb-ft of torque. Top speed is pegged at 211 miles per hour and the sprint to 60 takes 3.4 seconds. These are beasts of a vehicle but they can zap your bank account faster than they can dash to 60 mph from a dead stop. Well, the car we are discussing about is fast, very safe and, oh by the way- it has a fuel efficiency of about 45 kilometres per litre of octane. The Toyota or Nissan sedan that you drive or in your case, your driver does, has an average mileage of less than 10 kilometres a litre. Interested?
