among the youths, but old and middle aged people are also not immune from this craze. Some Smartphone companies claim that they have better Selfie cameras and allure people to buy them. The word 'selfie' has become so popular now-a-days that it has found a place in renowned dictionaries of the world. But all is not well with selfie, as media reports of accidents taking place while taking selfies. A few days ago as I was travelling in a public bus I saw two girls travelling by a rickshaw were posing for a selfie and suddenly their rickshaw puller had to brake hard and both the girls fell on the road. Luckily it was only minor bruises and both the girls were fine. It was a really awkward situation for them. Young motorcyclists are also seen taking selfie while driving motorbikes which is more dangerous and may lead to fatal accidents. Unfortunately, there are no signs of selfie craze fading out soon. Â
