Men often say women
gossip a lot. (oops sorry…if I am being bias here) It’s just a cliché.
Gossip has come a long way and now in the digital world we can even gossip with
strangers on the online forum. For instance, there is always something to
reflect upon after reading the post on kuenselonline forum. Normally I don’t visit
the forum but sometimes it’s hard to ignore it.
Well…if I narrate an incidence, last year
someone wrote on the forum complaining about the feeding period of the teachers
of a school. Looking at the post, I could make out who the writer was because
that post concerned my school. The DEO came to learn about it and called a
meeting for the teachers trying to solve the problem when I could clearly see
that there wasn’t any. It was just a sheer resentment shown towards the school
principal and concerned people involved. Our half day was wasted for nothing.
It’s good to note that
Bhutanese are becoming aware of the power of media and digital world but one
must be responsible for ones action. We cannot just hide behind a nick/user
name and keep posting things without verifying the facts. So many complains on
the forum makes me feel that the GNH is still far away.
We have come a long way from walking to the neighbour's place to the digital world of internet but the thoughts still remains the same.

Just watch out! You
might be the subject of someone’s conversation online at this very moment and that someone may not always be woman. :P

ReplyDeleteIts really annoying to see people pointing fingers on others hiding behind the nick and misusing the forum...and more over recently, I have seen so many topics related to education and teachers... going by the post,the others might think that the teachers are a disgusted lot...:P
ReplyDeletemay be we thought of the same thoughts due to telepathy... lolz
Can you change your theme or something. the writing is fading in the background. however, you can change it to make it more pleasant and interesting for readers.
ReplyDeleteI was one such person about four years ago- moving and shaking lots of things. There is magic in telling it online than personally.
ReplyDeleteAfter over 300 posts I realized I have reached nowhere, only made enough enemies, then blogging clicked. And then I found friends! Today I don't visit any forum!
My world... thanks for the suggestions....
ReplyDelete@Passu... I feel that such forums should be used in a positive way... its a harsh reality that we know how to point fingers at others but we are still far away from learning to appreciate them for their hard work...I guess that's being Bhutanese... :)
