With the changing time, our life is also changing. People are moving towards modernity. Now there arises a question, Is the path chosen by them is fine? Are they missing something?
Modernity, a state of being in the present scenario and updating ourselves with the changing times. In order to reflect briefly, it is all about adapting to changes. Being in the race with time is good, but to become a part of the rat race due to the furiousness of time is not a good thing. We tend to move according to the changes that evolve our living. But, looking at today’s scenario, are we evolving or making ourselves fit in a frame which is liked by everybody no matter how difficult and uncomfortable it is. We are more influenced by others and look towards influencing others but sometimes quite shallow from our inner deep. This is not what the tools of modernity should do with us.

- We capture moments and not live them, we live for our so-called social media friends and not for ourselves. It was quite different before.
- Before health had a different definition, people used to be healthy coz they wanted to be, now it’s necessary to fulfil one’s everyday routine needs, and getting into shape is mandatory due to social norms of looking slim and maintaining weight.
- Our lives are driven by Hashtags that define our lifestyle whereas earlier people had heartily connections to find out if one is doing well or not.
