Now young people are obsessed with selfies, the art of taking a photo of yourself with a camera or mobile phone, with girlfriends jumping into it. These selfies are then put online. Be it a party, a sleepover, a bridal shower, a hangout, a birthday, a farewell, a wedding — you have got to take a selfie. Everyone has to post a selfie on the social media with the new cake they ate or a new dress they tried out. Every ticking minute there is another update from a friend among the 1,500 ones and we even get to see someone just breaking a finger nail.
