Be Careful In Posting Your Matters Online!

Although, this is my personal blog, I avoid listing my personal issues here, since I know that won’t interest anyone. Yes, Big B can do it generating hundreds of responses each day. But that is another issues, he, being the very good writer and the rare Bollywood celebrity he is, can do so as long as he may wish to. However, this was  out of blue and made me lose my emotional composure without holds. It also made me laugh a little while later. I still won’t disclose the core issue here, but the manner it came across me, reminded of the Internet’s prowess and threats both.

While checking out my site stats, I came across a web-designer’s forum this evening, where I used to hang around several years ago, and from where the hit to my blog seemed to have originated. The thread in contention was started by some lady into her mid thirties. The chatter was about teenage web-designers vs oldies. While those in their 30s and above, including this blogger, made deep, thoughtful remarks, the teenagers and 20-some hanged around smiling. Then I fumbled upon something I had  spoken of a personal crisis in those days that I thought I had buried way ago. It was not in reality though, and I lost my emotional composure for a good while. The crisis had disrupted my life in those days and made me feel having drunk the toxins like Lord Shiva had during Samudra Manthan (ocean churning), which earned him the sobriquet Neelkanth, the one with a simmering, blue neck.

While surfing through the same thread I had some good laugh a little later, when I bumped in a, then 50 plus and now nearing 60, web-designer’s witty remarks. Hmm…..as they say life comes full circle, so does the Internet, hence be careful in posting your matters online.
