Sunday Thought By Abhishek Mukhia

Instagram love

I have always fancied couples displaying their love on all social media sites and especially , on Instagram . I believe that it provides a platform for lovers to profess and propagate love in many forms .

I really like how a girl posts a “ romantic quote” on the story and mentions her boyfriend , in bold format . This somehow makes me realise that whenever she comes across a quote , her mind is tossed by the thoughts of her beloved . How romantic , isn’t it ? I also adore the fact that they celebrate ‘monthsary’ by posting their videos and pictures on the feed . In return , they receive light hearted comments from followers . The most astonishing thing is the reels they make , with emotionally romantic song in the background . By doing so , the love birds highlight a sense of belongingness and care . It’s been a year since I noticed how a guy posts a screenshot of their chat on the story and writes , “ Thank you , babe . I’ll never leave you . “ Sometimes , I wonder if the two could be together even as a hurdle comes on the way . As far as certain snap shots are concerned , either he or she would post a beautiful picture of them and write a long caption , stating an unconditional love for another . At times , the caption is so lengthy that I scroll down . They assert , “ Love you to moon and back “ . This statement is not correctly framed . Maybe astrological words put to portray love and compassion . Most of the time , followers are tired of looking at their pictures . So , they unfollow . I would like to interrogate by asking , Are the partners not every bit worthy to stretch ‘love’ without any criticism and prejudice ? Why do people have problem with everything they do ? Intrusion is a vice , until and unless you know how to employ it . I can’t forget the moment , when my eyes met with a bio of a person that revealed his girlfriend ‘s Instagram user-id . Having been rooted in love , he mentioned this on his account . I think it’s perfectly fine to exhibit love , according to one’s choices . The most saddening thing is that both boy and girl unfollows or block each other after a break up . I wish there could be more understanding between the two . I’ve also noticed how a girl asks her friend to unfollow her ex – boyfriend , on Instagram and vice versa . Where are the promises they made ? Why did their love pass into oblivion ? When was the last time , they went outdoors and posted a picture with a cheesy pick-up line ? All gone , gone with the wind !

It’s not that I’m against a love affair . I support lovers to the fullest . Love is graceful , wonderful and marvellous . If the concept of “love” didn’t generate in the minds of great writers , then the world would have been incomplete . So , the next time if they fall in love , then I urge to fix the issues rather than fixing each other .
