Vetti politics on facebook

I see an increasing trend of people forwarding வெட்டி political memes on Facebook. It is no longer a social medium but a political platform for all and sundry. The thing is, nobody is listening to anybody else. And... what is the point of forwarding something without adding your own personal inputs to the issue?

Not that I object to memes in general, especially the funny, clever ones.

Sheer laziness has contributed to this trend. I feel this generation are slowly losing that ability to think independently and approach any issue in a nuanced, balanced way.

And don't get me started on fake news...

A new blog without any specific idea

Sheer boredom has compelled me to start this new blog titled paal kova, a simple but tasty milk sweet of South India. A blogspot is similiar to paal kova in the sense that it is a low investment effort. If nothing comes of it, I can simply close it and move on.

I feel quite clever of having thought of the connection between paal kova and blogspot.
