I am trying to get back to writing after a gap of about 4 years. Truth be told, I didnt miss blogging at all. There were so many other things that kept me busy. A sudden realization that I should have a spot to spew got me back here :P.
I realized I'm not really "Facebook" social but social otherwise(yeah! got to take my word!). I "like" certain pages and check those out now and then but don't feel the need to update the world (well, my friends, really) about what I'm doing every (minute of the) day. Much has been said across many portals about the different types of characters who show up on Facebook and make life interesting. So I will not pollute my blog with more detailed explanation of such personalities. I don't want to find fault with these different FB personalities - they do keep me entertained now and then.
Oh I don't find Twitter inviting either. Whats with the word limit and making 1/n's?! I'm not printing your tweets. I don't like it. Oh yeah, now there's an app that does the 1/n's for you, so you don't have to do it yourself! Of course there are visible benefits. I can scold/scream/shout/malign people/stuff/institutions/everything else that has a twitter handle. The main reason I've been off twitter is that the minute I think of writing something I'm never done within the word limit and the 1/n isn't something I want to be doing.
I can't miss Instagram. I'm not going to use it. Not the real "new gen".
There are celebrities, governments, institutions and everything except extinct species that have a social media blueprint. So considering our current "social norms" dictate you have active FB, twitter, instagram , tinder(?) (and everything else that I have no clue of ), I can safely label myself an "anti social".
