-----An Awesome movie experience!!! (Answer this kid's questions)-----

Last night I went for a movie with my friends at ‪#‎PVRKurla‬. We were all set for the movie & there was a man sitting beside me along with his son (around 6-7 yrs of age). The interesting part was that kid's first question while we were about to stand up for the ‪#‎nationalanthem‬. It goes like this!
Kid: Dad, why are we supposed to stand during #nationalanthem?
Dad: Respect towards our ‪#‎motherland‬ son 
The kid with confused expressions was quite during the anthem. Later, once the anthem was finished & we were about to enjoy the show, he comes up with another one.
Kid: Why is it played in ‪#‎theaters‬?
His father was speechless & so was I (cos even I dint had any answer to that question). But that's not all. He comes up with another googli/yorker.
Kid: Dad, only a few in this theater respect the anthem & not everyone (with a sad face).
Dad: (With a surprised expression) What makes you say that son?
Kid: While the anthem was going on, I saw that lady sitting cos she had all the eatables with her, that man sat way before the anthem was finished, that girl was doing something on the phone & that guy was & is still on the phone (He pointed his tiny little fingers towards a few). So basically only a handful of people were actually focused & stood in respect.
Hi father was again astonished with his queries but dint had anything to justify however he told him very politely with a smiling face...
Dad: My dear, they all did whatever they felt is right. No one can force you to stand during our anthem but if you love your country from your heart, you'll stand in respect whenever you hear our #nationalanthem 
The kid smiled & continued watching the movie but his questions had a point.
Either our national anthem should not be played at places where people treat it with disrespect OR wherever it is played, please leave your work aside, & give just 52 seconds of your precious time in respect to the land which gave us our identity. Respect can never come by force but by heart.

--- THE OBSESSION --- We all dint realize when our communication went from telegraph, telephone, etc to Skype & Facebook. Now since we are talking about Facebook or Twitter i.e. Social Networking which started from fantasy & passion, slowly & steadily became more of an "OBSESSION". I guess it wont be wrong if I say that likes, followers, shares, connections, etc shows ones credibility in the virtual world. Creating your identity on the virtual world is good but at what cost? As per sources, users are just adding unknown & unwanted people to their friendlist, sharing their personal photos & posts, etc. The reason to do these kind of activities could be many but the ultimate goal is to have a huge fanbase/followers which will result in getting maximum likes/re-tweets on ones post but that's not all. Checking others friendlist or likes on their post & then comparing it with yours, isn't that's what we call obsession? Guys, social media

--- YOUR SOCIAL PRESENCE PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE FOR YOUR FUTURE EMPLOYER--- Have you recently applied or been/planning for an interview? Ever noticed that the form which you are supposed to fill also asks for you social networking info? Well, that not for the employers to send you a friend request or to follow you. The best of you is already mentioned on your CV but what you actually are (in real life) is displayed in your posts on the social networking platforms. According to a survey by job site CareerBuilder India, 59% employers are currently using social media to research on job candidates, while another 33% are planning to access the platform soon.  As per CareerBuilder Human Resources Vice President - Rosemary Haefner, most of the candidates are rejected on the basis of qualification discrepancy (you might have said Grad on your CV but your social profile says UG), your communication skills (the kind of language you use, sentence formation, grammar, tenses, etc issues), inap
