Existential question
As difficult as it might be to believe that I went to a party and stayed till midnight, it pales in comparison to the following jaw dropping realization I had on my drive back… Not a single selfie was taken during the whole party!!!
The well-conversed in Bengali parties in Atlanta area surely will sympathize with my confusion around an essential existential question …
If, during a party, not a single selfie was taken and posted in Facebook, did the party really happen?
🙂
Vikram, Sonali, Bhaskar, Rakhi, Samaresh, Haimanti, Joyjit, Baisakhi, Sharmila, Amitesh, when is the last time you went to a Bengali party where a selfie was NOT taken?
The party did happen and there was loads to talk, laugh and be in splits about. So no selfie.
I took a selfie ( technically ). If you define selfie as a picture where the one who has the camera is also in the picture , here you go. I am in the picture and I took the picture. Does this count ?
Amitesh da kept the tradition going.
I knew there was a reason you invited me to the party 🙂
Merriam be darned, a selfie picture is not a real rendition of the actual object. In fact, it is a mirror image (left is right and right is left). That is a function of taking it with the front camera. Take a selfie image of you (front camera) and then take one with the rear camera – you will see the difference.
I believe the new iPhone (is it the X or the 8?) actually has a feature that makes that correction now.
Rajib Roy I am sticking to my story. I scored the only selfie for the evening.
ha ha 🙂
Small group of warm people, good thoughts, good talk, hugs laughs, genuine feelings all over — no one felt the need for selfies
yes Rakhi Ganguly. Whatever Rajib asked – is that true ?
I though getting beat up was a statement ( or an assumption ). The other stuff about the party was the question.
