Fur-ious

"Fighting like cats and dogs." 

What baseless rumour are they distributing like a virus? I always share my crunchy biscuits with you that are daily kept at 7am by a good Samaritan near 'Paradise Apartments'. We even play catch and fetch on weekends. Our progressive development on peaceful coexistence has not reached their idiot boxes and smartphones. People know that your paws are retractable and mine are not, I bark and you meow, I love hanging out with my pack near the meat shop and you love your 'Me time' in the park. We are very different but there is no divide between us. 

How many five-year terms will it take for these species with apparently working brains to figure out the Shakuni tactics going on in the executive forests? Funnily, there are too many clones of Shakuni and here is when casting votes becomes a dicey business but nobody told them that the world's largest democracy would come without risks. In the reigning age of tik tok, some of them conveniently extend their sleep hours instead of making their voting rights count at the polling booths. 

Troops of the fanatic clubs stage pompous shows for the credulous crowd and with the misinterpretation of religious books they put up posters to declare that the universal life force has approved of their extremist stunts. In the blink of an eye the engine of mob mentality is oiled and then as their conscience burns, this gullible herd wants an eye for an eye and hatred takes the form a watery pandemic.

It is 9pm, primetime to make a joke out of journalism. May truth have mercy on their twisted tongues. Milton Friedman said, 'There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.' When bulks of information on social media are ready to be cooked instantly and there is free WiFi, only wisdom can filter the knowledge of netizens. I have been thinking about contributing to this cleanliness drive by launching my political vlog on YouTube and ranting my unbiased guts out. 

Oh no! It is half past nine, we need to go for Sheru's swearing-in ceremony tomorrow, let us find some healthy dinner and then you can tell me about your cousin Garfield who is a stand up comedian abroad. May be he and I can collaborate on a video whenever he is in town.

A Glimmer of Hope

From endless conversations to awkward silences, we have come a long way. We made ourselves believe that this is it and those forced smiles and formalities now act as radical activists of maturity, suppressing the voice of our hearts. Defying the gravity of good times and what had been so special, I walk on the concrete road, that has become an anchor to the deserted garden of wilted moments. The solitary confinement that I find at night is brimming with fogs of abysses overpowering the faith I had in the strength of our connection. I have so much to say to you, but if I were to make a choice of summing it up to you, I would say "I miss you." It is as simple as that, I miss you because I have travelled miles of treasured times with you. I have laughed out loudly in your company, without being concerned about the world that was asleep. I have shared the tiniest details of my life and the most dreadful nightmares with you. I haven't learnt to fabricate the care I have for y

Ways for Quacks to hide their scams related to mental healthcare on social media:

* Immediately delete questions like “May I know what are your qualifications?” or “Where did you get this so-called psychological fact from?” asked by mental health professionals in the comments section of your posts.  * Post some social media stories related to how you are just trying to “help” and your “opinions” are on a mission to save the world.  * In a country like India which has its population in crores, buy some followers for your page. Some means thousands and lakhs.  * If you are scared that mental health professionals will keep questioning your credibility then tell your loyal followers that you are not a therapist/psychologist/psychiatrist but you will continue to take PAID private calls and deep listening sessions because you are giving the world your 'precious time'. (Shhh, no one knows this is how your business grows.)  * The followers/pseudo lawyers you have will fight for you in the comments section of all your social media pages and also spend all their energ

Ways to earn money for quacks in mental healthcare:

1. Act like you are qualified in psychology and market your unverified content in the name of "psychological facts".   2. Make it look like people don't need to go to therapists/counsellors/psychologists/psychiatrists because your pep talks are enough to heal mental health illnesses. 3. Use social media to grow your unethical business. After all, if it's a reel then who really cares whether it's real or not. Go live on different social media platforms, throw spoilt lemons at your followers, they will hopefully make lemonade and drink it too because you are an "influencer" and they love your blue tick. 4. Organize deep listening sessions without any professional training in mental health. 5. Never question your conscience. Keep minting money at the cost of someone's life. ©songbriti
