A CALMER YOU

If you think you’re up to speed with all things hot on social media, and you still don’t know about an idiocy called Sarahah, consider your good self to be as useless as the ‘ueue’ in queue. I mean, seriously. Who would have thought that a day would come when mobile apps would become the gateway for seemingly normal adults to display tragic proportions of lunatic aberration? Several are climbing this gateway with full velocity in my universe right now. I can’t criticise them, because you see, I’m not judgmental, but, trust you me, the last six letters of judgmental can surely be applied to those who are flaunting messages they get on Sarahahahaha or whatever this thing is called.

For those who haven’t yet been subject to the torture of those who have it, Sarahah is a mobile application that recently went viral. It allows you to create an account, and then get anonymous feedback on yourself from anyone who wants to comment on you. Anyone. And they can say anything they like about you, without you getting to know their identity. Is se toh chauraahe pe khade ho jao… if you really are in the mood to have the world take a go at The app was purportedly made to give and get ‘constructive’ criticism. Most of us do not have the capacity for either of the c-words – neither constructive, nor criticism. If you can’t cope with the negativity that could come your way in the garb of anonymity, why subject yourself to the torture in the first place?
