Dear friends,
A few months ago, a friend of mine on Facebook posted this on his status: 'No one looks as good as his/her profile pic on FB, nor do they look as bad as their Voter ID card photo!' How true! We use social networking sites as a showcase of our lives, and tend to display to the world the brighter side of our day-to-day living, leaving aside the gloomy parts. And why not? No one would be interested in knowing that you had a bad argument with your spouse last night, or that your kid did pretty badly in the last exams. Looking at the profiles of friends on FB, I feel how happy everyone is, living content professional and family lives. We also tend to exaggerate a bit about ourselves; no one would like to appear just mediocre on a social networking site. I have taken a look at the lighter side of this human nature, with the help of a few cartoons. I hope you all like them :)) (Please click on individual cartoons to enlarge them)
