Hackneyed words on Social Media

Switch on the laptop, iPad or mobile and you are bound to see these words. Used, overused, abused and beaten to death, I'm certain you have seen these words on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Flickr and plethora of social media drivers of 21st century. I have issues with some of the wordplay

Technophile - Beware !! He could be a pedophile as well !
Movie buff - Hmmm.. How about you buffing your leathers shoes for a change?
Foodie - All that rubbish you eat makes you moody.
Net junkie - What ?! Junkie means smackhead, pothead, cokehead, meth head. Who gets high on internet ?
Cellphone freak - Yes.. they are freaks you smack their neighbour's head with a Nokia 3310. Please exercise caution while walking in your neighbourhood as these people are always on the prowl.
Loves Traveling - Their travel is Chennai Beach to Tambaram or Borivili to Churchgate. So don't be fooled folks. 
Selective perfectionist - DAFAQ ? 
Budding entrepreneur - My dear friends ...Your buds were nipped eons ago
Strategic Thinker - And thinking what exactly ?

Time for evolution

I have across various articles on the internet detailing the metamorphosis that happen in a man's life in a very short span of time. All this while, I believed this to be a truckload of rubbish. Some people never change right ?! 

Life had other plans for me. Change has happened. My family, friends and colleagues have commented on the remarkable change in my life. My notoriety and unabashed behaviour has given way to a calm composed self with a sense of purpose. All this has happened in the space of 40 to 50 days.
