The world is getting smaller...and colder.



My colleague is sitting right across the table and I ping him on Gtalk to converse..
I don’t have time to catch up with a childhood friend..


Used to plan to meet, fix up a time and honour the promise,
We didn’t have mobile phones, we could not check if the other person would come,
I would wait under the tree fully aware, my friend will come


Life is classy, fast and easier..
But it lacks the warmth, the feeling of seeing a person face to face, a friendly embrace.


Emotions are valued less, time at work and money replaces human interaction
Feels like I speak to the computer more often than I do with my near and dear ones!


Life is getting faster and time for friends shorter..
If I were to chose my life 10 years back over all the technological advancement I am exposed to now..
I would choose the former..

Nightmares about nonsense!




Me: "Hey! It's been long!"
That irritating voice in my head: "What?"


Me: "I haven't posted anything on my blog!"
That irritating voice in my head:  "Thats ok! (sounds bored) who reads your blog anyway?"


Me: Don't be rude. "You know I like writing to an imaginary audience :)"
That irritating voice in my head: "Well! Nice way to avoid disappointment :P"


Me: "It's not that people are not interested in reading my thoughts..."
That irritating voice in my head: "It's about the fact that are your thoughts good enough to be read!?"


Me: (thinking...)
That irritating voice in my head:  "Hey! That's my job! You go write your rubbish.. You are at your best when you write nonsense!"
