 Is it just me or every one noticing that being fake is getting to be the 'in' trend now days. Its ok to be fake yet cool but definately not ok to be genuine and not cool enough. No one like the 'ordinary' word associated with them so they try to run away from it by every possible means. If that means talking in foriegn accent or dressing in a way to grab attention or wearing headphones everywhere you go, oh well happily they do it. Anything to mark them different from others.

 I always find wanna-be's and anti-wanna be's two side of same coin, fake coin thats it. One trying to appear hey I am cool and other trying to prove that is so fake. Both so focus on their respective prospects that their real being is lost somewhere in them.

 Unfortunately,  this trend have a firm grip over the masses. Everywhere you go and you see fake faces plastered on their real ones and fake attitude dripping out of them. Seldom I get to meet a genuine person who is not afraid to hide and have no notions about being 'ordinary'.

 What so bad about being ordinary? admittedly we all like to impress others and like others to remember us yet is being fake an only option available?
