“What Not to Do On Social Media” by Abhay Deol

The actor dishes out advice on new age internet posting rules! Remember, #StayCoolOnSocialMedia

“Don’t Tweet each bite

of food you have. It’s great that you’re enjoying a great meal, but you needn’t show it off to the whole world. I’d say eat it, don’t Tweet it.” “Don’t overdo your selfie pose! It’s ok that you consider yourself pretty, but

hey, calm down!” “It’s ok to wish your favourite celeb a happy birthday, as long as you’re not stalking them! Fans are nice, social media stalkers... not so much!”

“It’s ok if you’re fit and healthy, but no one cares about how many calories you burnt on

the treadmill. This comes off as bragging and something you shouldn’t indulge in. Good that you’re in shape and so conscious about your body image, but it doesn’t really matter to the rest of mankind.” “No, people aren’t interested in your Plants vs Zombies score or what level you’re at in Candy Crush. Please spare the details!”

“Think at least thrice before posting a cute update! And then think some more! Statements like ‘ Aww, I love my BF!’, or ‘Thank you God for the bestest friends ever!’ are a complete no- no!”

“Social media is NOT the place to vent your 68th fight with your boyfriend. Putting up messages like ‘Don’t know why this happens to me only!’, or ‘ Thanks for being so insensitive!’ won’t take you anywhere— complaining won’t fix your problem, and doing it on a public forum only makes it more degrading!”

“Yes, we know celebrities posting pictures of themselves with a glass of juice is creating internet rage, but you trying to cop the trend won’t fetch you more likes!”

“You love your job... we get that! But here’s the thing—talking about your pay raise, or the fabulous presentation you made at work that made you the office superhero will always come across as bragging, (no matter how humbly you try to put it!), so steer clear of such rants!”
