DIML

 DIML

Initially, I didn't know what that was! I could see many videos having these letters on YouTube and I thought it was some formality everyone is doing!

Then one day, I clicked one and I was actually shocked to see that it means A Day In My Life!! Whaaat! Why people need to see a day of my life?! I never get that!

From waking up to getting to bed, they show almost all the steps in a day! How difficult it's to shoot a video while cooking morning breakfast and kids lunch?! To prepare them for school, send them off! Cleaning my gas stove and fridge and wiping the floor is also part of my DIML?! Wow!

I see people dusting, even some have posted how they brush their teeth!! Yes I'm not exaggerating!!

What exactly are we doing to ourselves?! We all like to look at next door window! That's why people watch such videos! In front of camera, they have to be nice, smiling and pleasant! Are we the same when the camera is off?! Can we really be? This is like we are living a life like the big boss contesants!! Why should everything be recorded in the first place?

Have we ever wondered where do our blogs and these videos get stored? They are all in YouTube's storage now! The more the videos, the more the storage space, the more the views, the more the data consumed! Are we now consuming the cloud too! 

Having a few videos is like treasuring our memories and showing our kids later! But trust me, kids won't be interested! And once we hit 40, we do realise what's important in life and these won't even make it!

One test is we all click photos on our mobile but how many times we go back to that folder and check them?! But imagine our plight to click them that we miss the moment but capture the moment!

Not everything needs to be shared with everyone and definitely not with some strangers who out of boredom keep scrolling down and watch these videos and post some random comments! 

Time to ponder!
