thinking out loud

#my first post

Writing your first post as a blogger is an extremely difficult(read daunting)task.Its how you introduce yourself to the world.It determines how you will be perceived by your fellow bloggers- as an absolute air-head,a deep thinker or somewhere in between.I fall in the third category.While my thoughts aren't exactly gold(they're far from it usually:P) I would like to believe that they make for a interesting read.And hopefully you will feel the same too*fingers crossed*.

Our generation likes to declare every single thought that comes to them to the world. If we had a penny for every thought, more over for every though that we shared on Facebook, Twitter or elsewhere, we would be millionaires by now. I kid you not. And the humble hash-tag has only added to this tsunami of thoughts. The people who earlier refrained from posting pictures online now do so only so that they can hash-tag every word possible in the description of the  aforementioned picture.
.
While it may seem like a waste of time and very vain to our elders, I see posting and hash-tagging as a sign of the fact that our oh-so-cynical generation has finally started seeing the extraordinary in the other wise ordinary and maybe mundane things of life. Or maybe I’m just a hopeless optimistic :P
It is true that the information overload can get a bit too much at times but I’d rather live in a world where people over-share as opposed to one where they don't share at all, don’t you agree?
