The world has faced a lot during this pandemic. It was very difficult for those who are habituated to go out and relax by meeting friends and family.This time has taught a lot about living a life together. Everything depended a lot online. The Education, business, jobs affected and people forced to do that online. Can we add relations into it.?? Yes.. somehow… 

Painting by me..

     In the 90’s and in the early 21st century there was no internet easily available for the common man. The all over race was really comfortable and easy. Now, work has become speedy but even though we can’t’ relax from our work. Many people are having smartphones but smartness is gone now from many. Because many do not even put their head out from the screen. Likes and comments on the posts are like a matter of life and death for some smartphone users. The madness of getting likes and comments is funny to see. The father wished birthday to his children online and they got replies online.! Those husbands who show their love to their wives online and they get replies online.? This social media or online world converted to a big platform for show off. The way people express their feelings for their dear ones to show others is really untouchable. They actually depended on others’ reactions for their loveship.?!. I know many will disagree with this. But the fact is sometimes couples wish each other online and forget to wish offline.!  Connecting friends and sharing memories are always precious to see but living in the same home and wishing with lovely writings somehow sounds ridiculous.    

   The most important thing in the online world is information. We can have any useful information about the current and past.The way applications and this social networking created an impact is amazing. We should agree that it is a great gift given by science and technology. I was really surprised when I got my childhood friends through social media.     

      For the last 10 years we have been witnessing a different world with these smartphones. Everything has been so easy. People are connecting online and working there. When things are so easy for the work, the people get more busy with their work.? Those people who are always active online, avoid  meeting their friends and family because of busy schedules? They all have different reasons for everyone. Do we really feel that without this new world it would be really difficult to work or be connected before 2007.?! Now, it is like a conception about the world without the internet. But many people use it and live in an unimaginable world.  I found many couples who met offline in life, they lost their relationship due to online or social media. Even many surveys found that the level of anxiety has increased during the last 15 years.

      The big question is, do we really need this social media for our daily conversation? Working online is a necessity, but for others it has become a daily life. I know that I am posting this online to be connected with you all and writing to reduce the use of networking. Though I am not really active online, sharing something good is always my hobby..   I think online is a good medium for connecting people, the easiest way to solve problems, business, communications etc.That is only a medium that smoothing our life in a better way. That should not be a life that creates poor circumstances.   

        Some years ago, there was only one online way to connect. That is called telepathy.The things were easy and we could even work well to earn. Those feelings were also priceless when one man thinks the same way while their dear one thinks. Without any tools of communication they could transfer that natural data. Still very few believe in that and are happy to live with it. That telepathy is also a great gift by ‘Nature’ that connects Nature. Can we have that telepathy with Nature too? Let’s have a try by getting offline to be on that line..

Those moments we live with our dear ones are far better than those words written online for them.

Thank You So Much..

    Absolutely!!!
    This is well stated. I miss common every day conversations in which they used to be an art and actual concern and sincerity. Now, it seems like sinisism and sarcasm when you express concern, sincerity and interest. It is amazing how we have become sheep and all our individualism has been stripped away by the number of “likes”. Since when and why should you care if someone approves of you or not? They don’t know you and could careless if you live or die. You are just comic relief. Learn to truly, “LIVE” life. Because in the end what will you have to say to yourself??………is it going to be I coulda, shoulda, woulda or is it going to be I dreamt, I developed and I over came and conquered without anyone’s “likes” I am a dutiful, real pioneer and a true individual who is sincer, caring and loving to humans, earth and environment. What will it be???
