For a long time Mr Patel had resisted the pull of the social network.
‘Have no time man” explained his absence from the digital life.
“Don’t trust technology man” was oft repeated.
A lifelong bachelor, he was married to his work. So when he was made redundant, we worried about how idleness would impact him.
Fortunately a lifetime of frugality meant he had no financial worries.
Then he sent me a friend request. Mr Patel was on social media.
After keeping his life private for years, Mr Patel was sharing everything.
His motto now was “I selfie therefore I am”.

I've missed the last two episodes of the FF. Mostly due to not posting on time, so will be fashionably late this time, after all I blog therefore I am ;-)

I love this. What a change he went through. Let's hope he doesn't get targeted by haters.
ReplyDeleteLike a kid with toys. Thanks for reading Gabi I am glad you liked it.
DeleteHe'd better do other things as well, so he has some life to share
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil. Let's hope this life does not take over.
DeleteDear Subroto,
ReplyDeleteThis is something I've seen over and over again. People who resist social media for years suddenly have more time and you get to know every detail you really didn't want to know. ;) Nicely done and nice to see you back.
Shalom,
Rochelle
TMI you can't get enough of it :-)
DeleteThanks for your comments Rochelle, I am glad you liked it.
He's got the social media bug which seems to claim just about everyone. Let's hoppe he can control ii and not it him.
ReplyDeleteThat bug is contagious :-) Thanks for your comments Michael.
DeleteUh oh.. Let us hope he doesn't get too caught up in it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dale. It's only the start, wait till he joins Instagram :-)
