The idea of an Undo button or a Ctrl+Z key as we do in computer, had the same existed in our lives too our lives would have been phenomenal.
If I ask this question to anyone I know I would receive a ballot of hankering.
How often even I have yearned for an Undo button.
But few days back I came across 2 people who actually unwound their time and have travelled to their youth.
There was a biology teacher in my school whom I admired most for her resplendent teaching. I used to take even private tuition from her. Years later I added her in facebook only to be surprised to find that she had remarried at the age of 50. The groom was a batchmate of her from the same school. He is well settled, manager at some prestigious hotel. I didnt know what went wrong in her last marriage but all I knew was that she loved her only son and always loved to adorn herself like girls half her age. And definitely its facebook again to provide all the nitty gritties.
What amuses me is to find out that the newly wed couple is behaving just like a newly wed in their mid twenties or rather a college teen falling in love. My teacher whom I called aunty lovingly poses with her Valentine's Day gift and declares that boyfriends become more romantic when they turn into husbands. May be to her its veritable but definitely its a topic of debate.
And then the husbands posts the pictures of their outings, dinner at weekends, of her charming lady who is obsessed about posing and of course their selfies.
This strikes me sometimes as I find them a little exaggerating their personal lives. Though I am happy with her getting an Undo button in real sense. She cant undo her past that's true but atleast wont repeat the same in future. Now the question is are these all necessary to showcase in a social media? The usage of facebook to showcase sometime love and sometimes disagreement like the newly wed is too much for other people.
Not to sound judgemental but sometimes its annoying to find your most respected teacher dressed up like girls in twenties and behave childishly. Dont we expect her to be more matured at least in this matter?
As I had said before she has started living her life since beginning with some other man. She clicks selfies and posts them and never fail to oblige the people who comment her as "ravishing" even though when she is not.
My concern is simple. Live your life the way you want it. Life will present some opportunity to rewind but yes it will different from the 1st one. But be a little responsible when it comes to social media. People's perspective changes when they get to find every details about your life. And again I am no philosopher who can say what is right or wrong. I just smile at her pictures and hope she remain happy and smiling for ever.
