I regularly recieve "likes" on my Comments on tweets posted by the likes of Akshay Kumar, Fardeen Khan, Ranbeer Kapoor, Sachin Tendulkar, Sanjay Manjrekar, Harsha Bhogle, Matthew Hayden, Mark Taylor, Virat Kohli, Michael Clarke, Joe Root, etc. They also reply me some times. They reply to others too in an impartial democratic manner.
But there are certain celebrities who take utmost care to like "only such comments" which have a blue tick behind the commentator's name!!! For example Sara Ali Khan, Kajole Devgan, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Chaturvedi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Omar Abdullah, Barkha Dutt, Rajdeep Sardesai, etc. Even when that comment on his tweet goes "Viral", that person has the audacity (or should I call that a bad quality) of being thoroughly arrogant that he will still not consider your tweet as the one which should get a "like" from him Only Because you don't have a Blue Tick behind your name!!! How shameful, how racist and how undemocratic is that??🤔 You can like Ranveer Sinh's any worthless comment like "this was a useless tweet" on your tweet because he is Ranveer Singh. But, you can not like a high quality comment on your tweet which has more than 5000 views and more than 400 likes on its own ONLY BECAUSE it does not carry a blue tick behind its author's name?!?? After all, the motive of being on Social Media platforms like facebook, twitter, pinterest, linked-in, tumblr, is to enhance your knowledge and carve out a decent intelligent human being from what a stupid fool you once where. Isn't it? Just ignoring comments from a common man only because its author does not have a blue tick behind his name amounts to a racist, unjust and arrogant behavior - nothing less.
Does a blue tick behind your name on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, certify that you are that prominent living being on this planet who should be given due attention whilst all others who do not have a blue tick MUST be ignored? Does it not create a racist and an artificial environment, where all pomp & show prevails, whilst good decent quality content automatically dies out?
Having said that much about the so-called celebrities, how would you feel if a certain friend of yours starts behaving in a weird manner of late, only because he has migrated to some other country "more developed" than India? A friend of mine, just did that. He was very cordial and warm online with everybody online till the time he got his PR (permanent residentship) from the UK Government! Once he got that, his online behavior suddenly changed drastically. He stopped liking any comment or post or tweet from resident indian community. All the more he started making rude, untoward and derogatory comments on their posts! Why was this shift in behavior? Because there was a paradigm shift in his thought pattern. Now his new thought pattern was - "Well, look at those millions of resident indians who are living lives of hardships, pain and sufferings inside that dirty country called India. And look at me...! I have successfully transformed myself from an unprivileged, unknown Indian to a highly privileged european!! So great of me, indeed!!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 I have left that smelling country behind once and forever and no longer do I wish to go back over there. So why should I treat their posts and tweets with respect? After all they belong to a hellish place, which I just do not like. From now on, I will render harsh treatment to everything that is indigenously Indian." - It is this psychology that has changed his behavior. It's ridiculous.
More ridiculous is the psychology of a few local politicians and local columnists of some regional dailies, who start behaving like some renowned celebrity and give likes and replies only to those with a blue tick attached behind their names.😃🤣 Nobody knows them outside their region. But still they consider themselves as celebrities.😃🤣
