I am back after a long wait… I intend not to keep all waiting for my post but I just couldn’t get anything of solid base to talk about with you…
A lot of people talk about networking sites these days... And I was just wondering whether people still remember the good old way of socializing and keeping in contact with their near and dear ones… like talking to them over the phone… or driving up to them just to spend a lovely weekend together??
A lot of pondering and almost 24 hours after I started to think about this matter, I came up with one conclusion… Yes people do take the good old fashioned way to stay in contact but only to a selective lot… or should I say one, two or even three….?
Talking to people other than this comfort group is a strict no-no. People tend to hesitate to communicate to such people in any form…
For the young networking sites have become the sole mean of socializing with all except their loved ones… who more often than not is their girl-friends or their boy-friends...
As you read this post … consider yourself...would you think of talking to a person randomly selected from your contact list … 8 of the 10 times you wouldn’t.... however if you select a person in random over orkut .. you would not think once before scrapping him/her.
The point I am trying to drag home is that people form a strong bond with one or two person in their life and then stay in regular contact with them... they also form a sort of virtual world between them and think of it as complete. No doubt do such environments provide all the answers to the various necessities of the individual but there is the other part of it also...
Because you are only in contact with one particular person … there are many others with whom you never conversed!! (Because you were all the while busy talking nothing to one person)...
But when people grow up and step on an upper rung in the ladder of hierarchy you have more responsibilities at you disposal... one of them is to socialize with your near and dear ones….
But since you were never bothered to think about socializing with others as you thought you had all the people whom you thought you ever needed of you never take up the responsibility of socializing.
What happens then is people form various notions about you and in the long run your relations with such people are affected. It’s a common practice to never realize that such a thing is ever happening with us and we carry on doing what we had been doing. Sooner or later there comes a point of no return where you are left all alone with that single person with whom you were all the while busy telling him/her about your daily whereabouts!!
Relatives become far... relations with friends take a sour turn…and it becomes next to impossible to bring back the spices in your relationship…
And all this just because you talked to just one person!!
Take a moment off and think is this shy nature something that the human cannot change??? Or is it something one must learn to develop within so as to survive this day?? Don’t you think the statement that the human is a social being should be redefined... the priorities and the values of people are changing are some are finding it tough to negotiate?
It’s a food for thought!! Do think, analyze... and revert back!!
Enjoying Life,
