Selfie

Selfies, A new way to stay ahead of your consorts all that you need to do is point the camera at yourself , smile or make a face ,look ugly or look hot , press the  button and take a shot.!, If you are a gadget freak, or a social networking  person , you will certainly know what a  selfie means. A new phenomenon, that has taken over the new generation by storm. We donot know what kind of psychological factors drive a specific person to take a selfie and upload it to a social networking site. Everyone’s own situation is different but how good or bad it is to take a #selfie. . It has begun to worry some parents , while those who have kept up with the pace take it as passing trend. Well how good or bad is this new fad ?

                                                                               

A simple photograph of yourself taken by your own self  with a mobile phone and shared  on a networking site ,  is all about selfie . Once the picture is shared on the networking site it does the talking for you ! You can make a funny or an ugly face or even look at your best , its all about how you can gain attention and get as many likes  .

Selfies  a rage among teens. Surprisingly, a cause of concern for many parents who worry about this self-obsessive, narcissist  next generation .In my opinion they are encouraging for those  who by watching others share their selfies get inspired  by clicking and sharing their selfies and over come their underconfidence . If you can flaunt a new  outfit or your bangs or bags , over all anything about yoursef , a selfie shared on a social media site is good enough to do the talking for you !

We simply can't brand   a trend 'too bad " only reflects on our inability to deal with change. Unlike the earlier generation, the younger crowd much more vocal , connected and used to e spontaneous interaction and also connected with the world.. They have a different perspective about their environment. They understand the power of digital communication and know well how to best use it to their advantage to move ahead and rise .

In these places it is a popular drink among tourists at bars, pubs and restaurants where it is often served in 1-litre pitchers or other containers large enough to hold a bottle of wine plus the added ingredients.

Colours of Haiffa Ocean

Dave Barry is right in saying “There's nothing wrong with enjoying looking at the surface of the ocean itself, except that when you finally see what goes on underwater,you realize that you've been missing the whole point of the ocean. Staying on the surface all the time is like going to the circus and staring at the outside of the tent.” But one can enjoy the vivid colours of #Haiffa  #Ocean from the surface in these pictures.
“The sea is emotion incarnate. It loves, hates, and weeps. It defies all attempts to capture it with words and rejects all shackles. No matter what you say about it, there is always that which you can't.”

― Christopher Paolini, Eragon

LYRICS "Set Fire To The Rain"

I let it fall, my heart,

And as it fell you rose to claim it

It was dark and I was over

Until you kissed my lips and you saved me




My hands, they're strong

But my knees were far too weak,

To stand in your arms

Without falling to your feet




But there's a side to you

That I never knew, never knew.

All the things you'd say

They were never true, never true,

And the games you play

You would always win, always win.




[Chorus:]

But I set fire to the rain,

Watched it pour as I touched your face,

Well, it burned while I cried

'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!




When I lay with you

I could stay there

Close my eyes

Feel you here forever

You and me together

Nothing gets better




'Cause there's a side to you

That I never knew, never knew,

All the things you'd say,

They were never true, never true,

And the games you'd play

You would always win, always win.




[Chorus:]

But I set fire to the rain,

Watched it pour as I touched your face,

Well, it burned while I cried

'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!




I set fire to the rain

And I threw us into the flames

When it fell, something died

'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!




Sometimes I wake up by the door,

That heart you caught must be waiting for you

Even now when we're already over

I can't help myself from looking for you.




[Chorus:]

I set fire to the rain,

Watched it pour as I touched your face,

Well, it burned while I cried

'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name




I set fire to the rain,

And I threw us into the flames

When it fell, something died

'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, ohhhh!




Oh noooo

Let it burn, oh

Let it burn

Let it burn
