This one is completely on a tangent post 🙂 So sorry about that, nothing to do with Valentines day, but nevertheless everyone I Hope you all had a great day , so Happy Valentines day to you all yesterday – today and always 🙂
Right.. Early morning on our Whats-app group yesterday I got the Following Pic by a Patriotic citizen of India.
Which is obviously wrong info since it was not 14th the martyrs were hanged it was on 23rd march , So me being me replied ( I need to stop doing this , I know) to this message, which brought a bit of argument as you all can read 🙂 ( I have had to whiten out some messages as they are not related to this chat. )
The Green ones are obviously ME as always getting myself into trouble, But this just goes to show what we are becoming, I don’t even know this guy never ever met him, yet they have audacity to first spread such false information, then instead of just apologizing ( OK apology is a big word maybe for them) or just making an excuse that a mistake is done they are ready to have a stupid argument not forgetting sending me to hell… (Where I am sure I am heading but its a good thing I wont have to bear such idiots in hell at least, at least in hell we will all know what or who we all are ) .. It’s the so-called GOOD people we need to be wary of because they are the ones who always Stab you.. 🙂
Anyway I am digressing again So I am being asked to mind my language by a person who is sending me to hell.. and who things its insulting that I used the word Shame. Maybe I do need English lessons.
It is really a shame, first of all to that person who made the above pic and circulated , No wonder it is so easy to spread rumour’s these days, the bigger Idiots are the ones who just circulate stuff without giving it a thought. What sort of nation are we becoming where we know what day is Valentines but Don’t know about our hero’s, the freedom fighters , how the brave fought for us , so we could live in a Free nation.
Ah well..
Me and My Random Thoughts 
I once got a message with link to a video which said “this boy confirms that he’s an alien from Mars” 🙄 i ignored. I know more than to believe alien boys from Mars 😂. The sender sent another image a couple of days later. The image was that of a flower known as Passion flower. The text below the image read “this is Vishnu flower, it blooms once in 300 years. Please forward this to everybody so that everybody can take blessings of the lord”. I was angry this time, so I replied ” this flower is called Passion flower and in my neighbor’s house, it blooms everyday” 😂😂😂 no reply at all from the other side. I don’t understand how people blindly believe some photoshopped image/fake news! Schools should start teaching common sense as a compulsory subject! 🙄🙄

🙂 I like that reply its passion flower and blooms every day … ha ha ha ha … Oh i hate those chain messages , send to so many and god will do this I have not heard of anyone who has actually had all that promised after sending the messages ..
Surely god has better things to do then ask people to send such messages on his/her name …

I’m glad I don’t use WhatsApp unless it’s something important & I’m not in any group. It’s really shameful (& irritating) that people forward things without knowing the facts.They don’t even feel like checking once.These facts are NOT frivolous!
Don’t understand why the person asked you to mind your language.

Hi Bikram,
I think the key is not to believe everything you receive on watsap. Many stupid throries/fake news are being circulated these days, I don’t trust those but I find it hard to convince my family not to trust those either.
Very true post!

Hey Bik
Seems like pointing out he was wrong in front of the whole WhatsApp group must have hurt his ego even though he probably realized that he got it wrong or could’ve researched. It’s good to know your history but I’d forgive him for it since we forget sometimes or don’t pay as much attention.
Now you could have ignored it but your ego could not have it either. So you had to jump in with your self righteousness and show your superior knowledge or the way every citizen ‘should ‘ know about history.
At the end of the day we can only change ourselves. Maybe you could have worded it differently but who knows if that could’ve made a difference. Ciao

Well If you knew the reason the group was established and the name of the group you would not say that, I cant share it here also.. But yeah I do agree with your point although I am not sure if I pointed or said directly to this person I made a general comment that it is shame these days ..
Well I believe that any any nation who forgets its heroes and martyrs is running downhill, to get to the heights and be successful one must remember what it took and who helped and the sacrifices they made to get us here , else one day we will be down there once again .
But yeah point taken maybe next time I should be word my statement differently , will keep that in mind, Thank you so much for visiting please do keep visiting .. and welcome here to this blog.

Good job for calling out his ignorance. A lot of garbage is being circulated these days over Whatsapp and FB, and people believe everything blindly. People ought to take some time off to verify facts.

Hilarious, Bikram. I got this message last year (it became viral on Facebook too by some political groups) and said the same 😀 a bit sarcastically though. What I said in Bengali could be translated as “OMG! All the way they taught us such wrong information in the history books! Even wiki doesn’t know this fact” 😛 😛

Well, people don’t like to be corrected you see… They either become defensive or very offensive. I have blocked automatic downloads, so the only pictures I open are the ones when we are having serious discussion on which lipstick color to wear 😅 it’s superficial but keeps me sane 😊

wow…. there’s a HUGE difference between “it’s a shame” and “shame on you”, which still is not any kind of “mind your language” type statement. whereas ‘go to hell’ is seriously offensive. props to you for remaining calm and questioning both their original post and subsequent comments.
