5. Rahul Pandey
 He comes from the lower middle class and has spent most of his childhood with the
slum kids, playing cricket and football.
 He was a moderately bright student and somehow managed to clear board exams with
1st division.
 He had high hopes from the government and believed that the country will at least give
him the opportunity to earn a basic living and feed his family.
 He took up Science dreaming to become an engineer someday (the usual craze!).
 His performance in 12 was average but in India, unless you are extraordinary, you do not
get a good engineering college.

6. Rahul Pandey
 Now Rahul needed to study and his parents were ready to do anything for that. As
anyone would do they applied for an educational loan in banks to get him admitted to a
not-so-renowned local college and like most of the cases the banks refused…
 Now Rahul’s parents spend their entire savings and sell some of their assets to provide
for his education. The boy goes to college and gets a graduation degree after four
years…
 But as you know a technical degree has little or no value in India which produces more
than a million engineers every year. Rahul sat for few interviews but since the demand
for employees is less than supply, he like many of his peers couldn’t get through. After
four years of aspiring, he was jobless…

7. NEXT CHANGE

8. SOCIAL MEDIA

9. #include <socialmedia.h>
#define EFFECTS = LOST;

10. • Everybody’s pretending
• Everybody’s elsewhere
• Everybody needs to be alone

11. Everybody’s pretending
The Facebook version
vs
The Real version

12. THE ADVANTAGE OF
SCREENS IS THAT THEY GIVE
US SOMEWHERE TO HIDE

13. ‘We’ve stopped living life at face value. Now we live
life at interface value’.
Sherry Turkle,
Alone Together

14. WE SHOULD BE
DOING MORE OF THIS

15. AND LESS OF THIS

16. Everybody’s Elsewhere
NOBODY’S
WHERE
THEY ARE

17. NOT EVEN WITH
THEIR KIDS

18. Everybody needs to be alone
But it is almost impossible
to be alone these days

19. SO WHAT SHOULD WE ALL DO?

21. Bill Gates
• Life is not fair. Get used to it.
• The real world won't care as much about your self-esteem as much as
your school does.
• Smoking does not make you look cool. It makes you look moronic
