Hi, Guys! This one is a reader's request. So I hope I don't mess this up. This post will be about stalking stuff and also the title is such because it rhymed with white walkers (#winterishere💀). I know stalking is something that should not be promoted. This is just a fun article that is intended only to chill things out and hopefully put a smile on your face.
Stalking is something that is done by all regardless of their gender. This is normal as long as no one becomes creepy or feels violated. Every normal human being has stalked someone and has been stalked by someone. If you disagree and claim to be the most righteous person on the planet, get ready to become educated!😛
Stalking is basically following someone without their knowledge and consent. Stalking is done because of two major reasons 1. You like the person or 2. You hate the person. As much as I know one can prevent this by filing a restraining order against the stalker (follower) of course I learned this by watching English TV shows! Although I have no idea if something similar exists in our country? Usually, in our country, it is a fact that boys stalk girls and this has been supported by many movie scenes.
Everything is becoming digitized these days and so is stalking. Here are 5 points that show the evolution of stalking through ages😉

1. Following
This is the basic form of stalking. In those days the guy followed the girl through the streets in stealth mode but these days considering the advancement of technology and the climate nobody is in the mood to go out! Thanks to social sites, now we can easily follow them on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook etc. If you like someone all you have to find is the name of that person and Facebook can do the work Jeyam Ravi's friends did in Santosh Subramaniam. Get it? All I'm saying is that finding a person is so simple in Facebook if you have their name.
2. Pictures
2. Pictures
This is a classic one. Usually, in movies, the guy somehow gets a picture of the girl he likes and secretly hides it somewhere ( mostly books) and takes a look at it whenever he wants to. In case of villains, the entire gang of people has the picture of the person they are ordered to kidnap or kill. This is now replaced by just stalking by looking at the profile pictures in Facebook or WhatsApp. Some people go overboard and double tap on an Instagram picture that was posted 14 weeks before😂
3. Signal
This the old technique of getting the attention. To simplify this Cat-calling or whistling when a girl walks by etc. You know what I'm talking about right! In old movies and shows, there was this one guy who whistles whenever a girl passes by this has now been replaced by Facebook pokes! I honestly don't know why "poke" option even exists and even Hike has a similar option. Pick up lines are now replaced with pokes!

4. The first talk
This is when a guy attempts for the first time to talk with someone they have been stalking for a long time. As seen in movies the guy usually prepares a speech by writing and rewriting, then he practices for 84 years only to mess it all up in the main scene. Nowadays a single "Hi/Hello" in Fb or Insta is the way one tries to have a conversation. Don't worry they get ignored here too
5. Celebrity stalking
This is where we all become stalkers. Celebrities are always stalked by media people because that's their job. But ordinary people just like you and me also stalk them not literally following them but by using the pictures they post. We make a collage, take a screenshot and keep that as our profile pics, or set them as stories etc. Honestly, when I was a kid, I kept the Tamil movie heroes as my desktop wallpaper and so did many of my friends. I also used to do many power point presentations with celebrity pictures with some music and cool animation effects. Those were the days where I only used PC for paint and powerpoint. Even now many people use pictures of celebrities as their wallpaper in phones and even keep those pictures as their profile pictures on social media.
Answer honestly, How many of you have Oviya as your DP in FB, Whatsapp, Insta etc. How many of you have celebrities as your phone or desktop wallpapers? I have so many contacts and friends on Fb who use celebrity pictures in such a way. It is something done by all and I don't blame anyone for doing it. This becomes a way of stalking only because we violate their privacy by using their pictures.
So stalking was when people go to long romantic walks together but only one of them was aware of it but now it has changed to scrolling over a persons timeline and staring at the 756 photos for the 24th time in a day.
Sometimes social media stalking goes wrong when you hit the wrong button. So maybe get a life, let go of the past and start living and always beware, sometimes you may stalk the wrong one like in F.r.i.e.n.d.s 😂
