This refers to the editorial, “Selfie with consequences” (January 18 ). That India accounts for half the 27 selfie-related deaths reported in 2015, is a clear indicator of our going bananas to paste our self-image on the wonders of nature, without caring about our safety, let alone absorbing the beauty of nature within our hearts. In fact, the word ‘selfie’ sounds like being selfish. This new selfie craze, fans our narcissism and makes us oblivious to our surrounding which is getting away from the nature day-by-day.
