It's quite amusing to know that we feel a sense of empowerment with social media at our fingertips. People have had their grievances addressed on social media, some have inspired us with their thoughts and some have shared their creativity. Humanity will be forever grateful for making lives much easier. I still remember during the catastrophic Nepal quake and Chennai floods; it was a huge relief to see your loved ones marked safe.

Now having said that, boys and girls, dudes and baes - y’all need to know this!

The last time  we got the basic nuances of social media etiquette right. Let’s dig a little deeper now.

Firstly, get this concept right - this is social media - what you post, upload and share is for the world to see. Those who read your posts and updates are people from the same freaking planet and the only difference lies in the extent of brain activity.

Therefore, I am very politely threatening those morons whose status or tweets read like “eNJoyIng mA TiMe wItH #bEsTiEs mAnH”- Quit doing it, no really grow up. You don’t have the “sWaG”, you are just a moron who would deliberately give a person reading their posts a chronic headache.

Consequences of this $Ty!ĕ :

1. You will remain single, until you find another Dodo like you!
2. Chances you finding a good employment are bleak
3. You are an outcast and you shall be treated like cR@Þ
4. The Grammar Nazi will hunt you down

Next, when you express your opinion via Facebook or Twitter, get your facts right, double check them. Read them, understand what your choice of words could imply. You don’t want to be left red faced on internet. It's the worst place to be caught with your pants down!

Here are few examples -

Only her family, friends and colleagues knew the existence Justine Sacco a PR consultant until she tweeted: "Going to Africa. Hope I don't get AIDS. Just kidding. I'm white!" Remember the furore Shashi Tharoor’s infamous cattle class tweet created? Holyshit! Oh wait, here’s one the most recent tweet that actually broke the internet. A girl expresses her grief and sorrow over the demise of Mohammad Ali through a tweet - and all hell broke loose.

These, my friends are called EPIC FAILS!! I feel sorry for those souls who will be trolled on for till the end of time. Social media is brutal and will never ever let you forget your silly, stupid and sometimes innocent mistakes! I was just wondering image the plight of those unfortunate souls who dug their own graves. Will they have to go into hiding or change their identity to redeem themselves from the razor sharp wits and trolls on the internet.

The most entertaining and ironically the most immature thing that you would end up in is the “Twitter Wars”. You have differences of opinions, talk it out behind closed doors and keep it off the internet. With every tweet wasted in a battle, you tend to stoop down to levels that kids call “puppy shame”!

Oh damn, those hot celebrity rants over Twitter are hilarious and yes of course over time we would just want to smack their heads and throw them off a cliff! Politicians from Trump to Smriti Irani, actors like Naseeruddin Shah to Twinkle Khanna, Sonam Kapoor Shobhaa De, and then those who we call unnecessary addition to world population the Kardashians and KRKS - oh dear, what a bloody war that will go down the cyber history.

Get a life guys, nobody gives a F about your personal quarrels. Nobody is interested. The rest are happy to know they are not as miserable as you in life. Mind the language you use. What you say defines you and speaks volumes about the kind of person you are.

Harvard grad or government school dropout - Internet treats everyone the same, so beware and for a change you may want to try something cool if you haven’t yet - Put the grey matter to test!
