misnomer

came across a photo.. two people.. a boy and a girl.. sitting across each other.. over a table laid with some cutleries.. and appearance looks like a coffee table set up with probably a hint of late supper..

the point here is not me describing the decor of the setting, per se.. so, shifting back the focus on the two people concerned.. the boy, and the girl.. the caption reads : "boy spotted having a good time with girl at a famous hotel in suburbs of city"
if you read just that, you tend to form a mental picture of.. so, i;ll leave you to that..

what took me by surprise was the complete absence of correlation of any sorts between the caption and the photo.. the photo showed the boy and the girl, both the least bothered about the spread of eatables in front of them.. both supremely engrossed and extremely busy(so much so to even notice either's presence) and hunched over with with utmost concentration on their respective phones..

so, is this what the modern day synonym of "having a good time" really mean?

if you ask me,(and "me" being of the current generation, still on the "right" side of thirties, and in that perfect stage of "twenties") this is plain bull-shit.. you gotta at least acknowledge the person's presence.. at least for the sake of the picture!

ugggghhhhhh!
