SOCIAL MEDIA: A BOON OR A CURSE?

 

With the introduction of technology into our world, social media has become a part and parcel of everyone’s life. From the time we wake up until the time we go to bed, we are always on our mobile phones or gadgets using it. Nevertheless, it is one of the most famous platforms to express our thought and happiness. But at the same time, we have just hidden our life from the real world. We have to reassess our screen time; people are not the same they were used to be. It seems as if we can survive a day without food but not without social media. Meeting with friends is now replaced with video calls and wishes are being reduced to messages.

The fact that we cannot express who we are! It is really depressing. People judge us by our looks and thoughts on social media. Some are there to spread happiness, some to motivate and some are just to spread negativity. We are surrounded by high-speed Wi-Fi connection, but is it really our connectivity tenacious? The answer seems No. The bond that we used to share with our friends, the emotions that we used to feel are now missing, and thus the loss of our real self has made us feel lonely.
But there are many benefits of social media that need to be specified. Especially during these Covid times, we have seen that people have shifted completely to the online mode. From studies to businesses, everything is online now. And it is a great tool to reach out to a massive audience. It helps businesses to grow their consumer base and students to learn and explore new things on social media.
Social media has become a boon for small businesses to grow by using different advertising strategies at a low-cost rate and for people having creative skills to showcase on different platforms like Instagram or Face Book. It has even helped established businesses to get to know and interact with their consumer base in a much easier way.
In the world which has become more diplomatic and egoistic. The onus is on us now how effectively we can use these platforms to our best use.

Lost and Found: The Quest of Finding TRUE SELF

  Restless nights, where the clock's ticking echoes with memories of loss, are peculiar moments in the human experience. The absence of a dear person and the ache of their departure seep into the silent hours, leaving an indelible mark on the soul. But what if, in this contemplative silence, an anonymous call breaks through, hinting at news—whether good or not? Our connections, losses, and self-evolution weave a complex tapestry in these intricate threads of human existence. Among these connections, the most intriguing journey is one where we lose ourselves. It's not just about losing a person or a memory; it's about losing who we were. Reflecting on oneself compared to a year ago reveals the evolution of perspectives, emotions, and values. Humans constantly transform their outlook on life, relationships, and material possessions. In the 17th century, John Locke astutely observed that certain bonds remain unbreakable despite our evolution—the bond with our first

BEYOND THE GLARE: UNVEILING THE REAL STRUGGLES

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." - Martin Luther King Jr. In the cacophony of success stories that flood our Instagram reels, the word "struggle" is often thrown around like confetti at a celebration. Influencers, with their polished narratives, paint pictures of overcoming odds, but do we truly understand what struggle means? Is it the tale of a privileged youth handed a golden spoon of wealth, aiming to multiply it into a fortune? Or does it lie in the journey of a middle-class individual stepping out of their comfort zone to carve a path in unfamiliar territory? Perhaps, it's found in the everyday struggles of ordinary people, like a young woman selling mangoes in the well-poshed societies of a metropolitan city under the scorching sun with the temperature soaring above 45+ degrees Celsius with her 6 months child clinging onto a make
