Are you fuelled by FOMO?
Enter 2025 and there was just one thing on everybody’s mind-the Maha Kumbh Mela at Prayagraj. For the past few weeks, it seemed like that was all the entire country was talking about. News channels, social media feeds, and even WhatsApp forwards were all abuzz with one topic The Maha Kumbh. As I reflected on my own experience, I realised that there were three kinds of people who made the effort to attend this massive event.
The first group consisted of genuine spiritual believers who were drawn to the Kumbh for its deep cultural and religious significance. For them, the Kumbh was just another exotic backdrop to add to their social media portfolios.
The second group consisted of the so-called Instagram enthusiasts who were solely interested in capturing the perfect photo opportunity. But it was the third group that worried me. the most FOMO crowd. These individuals had no real understanding of the Kumbh’s significance or cultural importance. They were there simply to tick off another item on their bucket list, to boast about their attendance on social media, or to impress their friends with their supposed spiritual credentials.
As I observed this phenomenon, I couldn’t help but wonder what’s driving this obsession with FOMO? Why are we so desperate to keep up with the latest trends, attend every hip event, and document every moment on social media?
For me, this raises deeper questions about our values and priorities. Have we lost sight of what truly matters? Are we so consumed by the fear of missing out that we’ve forgotten how to live in the moment, to enjoy experiences for their own sake, and to cultivate meaningful connections with others?
It’s time for us to take a step back and reassess our relationship with FOMO. Let’s stop letting the fear of missing out dictate our lives. Instead, let’s focus on living intentionally, pursuing our passions, and cultivating a sense of purpose that goes beyond the latest social media trends.
So, I ask you: what kind of person are you? Are you driven by FOMO, or do you live life on your own terms? But what if I told you that there’s something truly worth getting excited about?
