इसे 'E-FAME-REAL नहीं' पढ़िए — social media पर viral हुए लोग कुछ दिन famous रहते हैं, फिर सब भूल जाते हैं। जो fame टिके नहीं, वह ephemeral है।

Read it as 'E-FAME-REAL nahin' (the fame is not real): people who go viral on social media are famous for a few days and then forgotten. Fame that does not last is ephemeral.
