Surrounded by Quote, Nothing in Values!

This is another post while my stay abroad, away from motherland India. As I already mentioned in my earlier posts, it need deep insight to get out of oneself to understand the basic problems within. Take an example of net neutrality, intolerance, Dadri lynching or recent trending topic - demonetisation; the level of thinking reflect on social media in form of trends. Mostly, any foreigner need visa to enter country to experience culture but how about people judging based upon border-less virtual media like Facebook or twitter.

At any given moment, every alternate person in India connected to social media either direct or indirect mean. Hence, by some mean, individual's every activity (stone pelting in public rally) contribute towards trend hence reflecting country's thought leadership. However, there are few paid trends for marketing or even for political benefits but moreover, again those driven by common citizen like us in form of followers.

Before this blog loose it's core context in this age of short lived messages, let me jump to the topic. So, let us consider any communication tool exist at Social media, we receive at least one quote on any given day. And, if you are subscriber to groups on direct messaging apps, then there is no limit. A quote can be any 'good thought' or 'sayings' by global leaders. Now, the question is, how many of us influence by such quotes? How many of us really read intent of quote and follow the same? Few or none?

I will say none. Because, if quote make change in society then films must do revolution. Ultimately, a film has more visual representation of values than any other media. Anyway, we need more value penetration in society than ever we did. The impact of social media is so huge that age has come where lack of values will mislead communication. And this is already reflected when we send certain message to certain number of users to get some fake unique feutures or discounts. Apart from that we must restrict our-self to indulge in any such on-line or off-line activity which will hurt overall image of Mother India.

We already surrounded by good quotes only need is to absorb the values out of it!!!
