Meetup in Bangalore – Let’s Connect

Connect – Share – Thrive

Despite all the hoopla over social networking , most individuals esp those mortals living in cities like Bangalore are like isolated islands. Only a few lucky sociable ones lead a balanced social life. Those lucky ones could be ones with a born habit of socializing, or that they are in the right group which gives them access to bigger network.

The lonely lot are cringing in isolated pools lacking in  friends, and many of them face severe shortage of time to build new relationship or maintain old ties, or no time to pursue a hobby or pastime.

Is it ironic? At a age, we have all the connectivity, from phone, Whatsapp, Facebook, or apps like Tinder. But, there is a big chunk who are living outside the social connectivity circles. What is this becoming a common sight?

So, can you make a dent to this reality? Will you take the first step to smile at a stranger, or speak to a person to break the ice?

Well, after quitting my day job, it’s my intend to meet more people, share my thoughts and become more human. I hope my blog post will do the job to kindle that human connection.

Thanks,

Charles
