It’s been very hectic, so much so that I have not even been updating my fb status regarding all the “happening” things that I’m currently doing. And if you have known me for the last 4-5 years and are in some way or the other connected with me over there, would definitely understand, it’s a pretty rare sight.
I believe that there are only two instances when a social network addict (as some say to me) doesn’t make his presence on the walls or timelines; it’s the extreme ends of his mood. Either he is too happy and involved with something that he is not finding time to write on these virtual walls or he is saddened by some event, that there is no inclination to do anything, forget “denting/painting” any walls. Oops!! Denting-painting, wrong choice of words and my father is not even the president!!!
Anyway, I wanted to say something before I started writing this post. But, don’t know I simply forgot what I intended to. So, by the time I recollect what I actually wanted to tell. I’ll just blabber something random.
Random. Well, randomness se yaad aaya, It’s about to end. No, not the world.( which was the longest running rumor of all time). Just this 2012 is about to give way to 2013 in a few days of time. Time flew fast, as always.
On the personal front, from being an eid ka chand in college during the start of 2012 to be compulsorily made to attend 70-minute lectures daily. From waiting for salary to asking parents to sending money, from watching almost every new release in theatres to choosing which all to watch in a month, from being somebody to nobody, from this to that a lot changed. Even I changed, a lot.
Anyway, I finally remembered what I wanted to say or rather talk about. It was about connectivity.
Well, when it comes to me, I always try to maintain a connection with everyoneI may have come across at any point of time. Of course, I am not at all successful in doing that very efficiently but I do try. Coming of age, social networking has been one of the most prominent tools in order to achieve that. Although call rates have reduced drastically, yet making calls to everyone has not been a regular thing.
When one updates a status or posts a tweet, it is like letting the people know all at once about what you are up to. Twitter asks “what’s happening “, Facebook asks, “what’s on your mind?” , before you update your status. While answering that, you are letting yourself get connected with the others. Letting them all know what you are up to, all at once. Yes, many have reservations regarding the necessity of using technology like this. The “privacy” issue is always there. But what is that one thing which does not have its own set of merits and demerits??
A like, a comment, a retweet, a favorite or even a simple “ 🙂 “ anytime helps maintain this connection. Day-to-day lives involve us to remain confined in a single place or with a set group of people, but with a scroll down the wall lets us know as to what is happening with our old circle of friends and be in sync with the things happening in their lives.
So, just a little time out to check them out, in order to maintain the Connect, isn’t that bad right?? Eh??
