The Dhaka Times Desk Selfie has become a big fashion nowadays. However, various incidents are happening again and again with this selfie. Experts say that those who have low self-confidence take selfies!

মাত্র ক’দিন আগের ঘটনা। বিশ্বখ্যাত ক্রিকেটার সাকিব আল হাসানকে কক্সবাজার পৌঁছে দিয়ে ঢাকায় ফেরার পথে একটি হেলকিপ্টার বিধ্বস্ত হয়ে এক জন মারা যায়। দুর্ঘটনার কারণ হিসেবে জানা যায়, এসময় পাইলটের পাশের সিটেই বসেছিলেন শাহ আলম। তিনি পাইলটের কথা না মেনে দরজা খুলে একের পর এক ছবি তুলতে থাকেন। এক পর্যায়ে হেলিকপ্টারটির ভেতরে বাতাস ঢুকে নিয়ন্ত্রণ হারিয়ে রেজু নদী সংলগ্ন স্থানে বিধ্বস্ত হয়। এতে শাহ আলম (৩২) নিহত হন। বিজ্ঞাপনী সংস্থার কর্মকর্তা ছিলেন শাহ আলম। গত ১৬ সেপ্টেম্বর ঘটে এই দুর্ঘটনা।

Again, the competition of taking selfies at various festivals can also be a cause of great horror. In the last Korbari Eid, the selfie taken with the animal sacrifice on social media has shaken the conscience of many people.

Even worse are the risky selfies around the world. Horrible selfies have been taken on top of buildings or mountains, volcanoes, in front of sharks, while surfing, cycling, and even with snakes. Not only that, there have also been unusual incidents like taking selfies after burning the body without putting it out, and doctors taking selfies while keeping the patient in the operation theater in the hospital. While digging the graves of relatives, taking a selfie with the dead grandfather has also become a fashion for some!

According to history, in 1839, Robert Cornelius, a resident of the United States, took a picture of himself or became known as Selfie! On the other hand, it is known that the first person in the world died while taking a selfie in Lebanon. Currently, about 50 percent of selfie accidents happen in India. Therefore, to stop this selfie phenomenon, 16 places in the city have been declared as 'no selfie zone' by the country's police!

Now let's talk about what the experts are saying. Experts say that people who have low self-confidence take pictures of themselves and see them repeatedly. And suddenly smart people take more selfies because of the mental pressure to express themselves. They lack common sense. Again they are not confident.
