A Life Without Insta Stories

Hey there readers!

- Gairika Mitra

We are back here with another segment of ‘What Ifs’, with an added amount of excitement and happiness. Why? Well, I guess this is the only section where we get to be frivolous and can get away with it. Perks of being a writer I tell you!

Okay, coming straight to the point, and to instigate you, let’s do some prognosis in and around social media. Particularly, because most of us are practically smitten by it. Consider, Instagram stories for that matter. What would our lives be without them? Rather, how very useless would our lives be without them?

Now, since I am allowed to be as frivolous as I can be here, I am kind of imagining a life without Instagram stories. Let’s give it a title.

How about:

WHAT IF WE HAD TO LEAD A LIFE WITHOUT INSTA STORIES?

Saddening? Disheartening? NerveWracking?

Oh, wait! Hold on!

Please understand that I too am bearing the brunt of it.

I shall reveal why soon.

You know, I kind of realise that in the last 3 years, I have kind of become too overtly dependant and show-offish in my personal life. Be it my culinary skills, my morning runs or my retreats. Almost all of them at least had one mention in my handle, with the able guidance of ‘Oslo’, ‘Jakarta’ or ‘Melbourne’.
