Are you in the groove with city life or a misfit?
I see too many confident men and women in Bangalore. They work in polished office building, drive swanky cars, wear designer clothes, stay at apartments, give out an a air of superior well being. Their look give out an aura of confidence and wealth.
On top of these glossy facts, these people are connected with all kinds of gadgets – ipad, netbook, wifi, 3G, facebook, twitter, cell phone, land phone.
Despite these hi-fi facts, they still remain as elusive as ever. We live in a neighborhood where we hardly know the people sharing our walls.
- Why is this disconnect?
- Why does city life breed shallowness?
Colleagues are another breed of people we smile or laugh with, by still remain just as co-workers. We hardly know what they are?
Often I ask myself, if Bangalore life has made me a plastic like other people. All appear to be busy, running behind some schedule.
Facebook Phonies
In my last b’day, I got the most number of b’day wishes – well through Facebook.
Every phony in my Facebook slashed out a customary b’day wish. Too many well wishers to be true. Did it make me feel elated?
Answer is absolut – NO. Facebook promoted them of my b’day and they wrote a 2 second msg.
If these people had called me on this day, I would have really felt touched? But who cares to call me
Maybe, I’m old fashioned phony trying to get used to the new age shallowness in relationships? Maybe I’m a misfit in this society or the future to come. If you’ve a better answer you can tell me.
Forget what others do, let me focus on what I can do to others and with me.
Amen
