ON-LINE PRIVACY, THE GLASS HOUSE

What would I reveal online?

My take on Project 365 prompt

 

My life is quite an open book

You can look in every nook

My FB status is Public

Where you can find all you seek

About my past and present life

And what’s more, even my wife

Is privy to my inner strife

As told in shares and likes and posts

All my ravings, empty boasts

As for my hidden murky past

My blog posts reveal all at last

But there’s one thing that makes me quell

I will never kiss and tell!Image

Soumya is an alumnus of St Stephens College and Delhi School of Economics where he was supposed to have studied Economics. He, however, did not let studies interfere with his education. Currently he earns his daily bhat mach by working for a PSU Insurance company, and lectures for peanuts. He is addicted to the printed word and has been devouring it since learning to read. In whatever time this leaves him he pursues his other passions, family, films, travel, food, trekking, wildlife, music, theater, and occasionally, writing. He has been published earlier in TOI, HT, Express, and other lesser known papers and magazines. He is currently trying to learn the ropes of tech challenged blogging. He has published what hopefully is his first of many novels, Memories, the hilarious nightmare of growing up and has a weekly humour column in different truths.

  3. Private and public life – this dichotomy itself seemed so foreign a concept to an average Indian mind, until a few decades ago. Life is life, to be lived individually but in a family, in a community. The biradari idea is still very strong. Maybe FB family has become the new biradari for the urban Indians in the cyberworld 🙂

  6. You must have kissed and told by now. Of course, we your readers know it’s not for us.
