Things That Matter in Life.
If you were lucky enough to have been born before the widespread popularity of mobile and Internet in India, you would know the pre-connectivity era when we had to depend upon the black humongous telephone with a circular dial for contacting with our near and dear ones. Some of us fondly remember that there also used to be an era when we used to use our neighbors' phone, as we did not have one. Many of us can relate with this experience. But with the widespread popularity of Internet and mobile everything has been changed. There is more connectivity yet less inclination to connect.
The modern life can rightfully be called a commercial, self centered life where each individual is hankering after material needs and while the intention behind increased number of connectivity platforms might not have been this, yet people have started using these connectivity boosters convert the genuine heartfelt communications in a formality. Type a few words and hit send on Facebook and done! You might not even remember the face of your uncle but saw someone wishing him happy birthday and you commented the same, and done! How easy? But can it always be compared to the heartfelt birthday wishes presented by you with a bouquet or a small gift by personally visiting your relatives? Can any amount of likes or retweets be compared to the pleasure you got while your friend would have forcefully make you gulp down a huge piece of cake on your birthday?
We are more connected to strangers than our neighbors
