"Let us go out."
"I am tired."
You know you are a person surviving (read : just surviving) in this gigantic, difficult world when, atleast once in life, you've had a conversation like this. Raise your hand, YES DO. Raise it high. Let me observe as to how many of you genuinely try to reach out to your families and long distant friends? How many of you actually, like, for a change, end up meeting your grand mother on her birthday? Aha. Caught you.
We are not busy. We just propagate the notion of being extremely pressured and occupied. You work for 24 hours, are you kidding me? There are times when the organ that controls your intellect cannot take up the idiocy and fails to deliver mind-boggling results. That is when you are supposed to keep those electronic gadgets away, allow yourself the luxury of a cup of coffee and get charmed by the voice of your mother who longs to hear a single 'hello' from the other side!
Life is not to be blamed. The very meaning of 'living' has changed incredibly. The two strings of an earphone are enough for a brilliant yet temporal bliss. By the way, "humming tunes" is quite an extinct phrase now. Ain't it?
Whatsapp makes you the 'busy-bee', busy replying to like 10 people at a time and facebook is accountable for the 'oh-so-popular' tag you have just achieved. Why would you leave Instagram? That app would surely be the make up artist for all your #instaclicks and #instauploads ?
Writing on the colourful diary that your father presented must be so out of fashion because, phones have their in built note pads. Trying to get in touch with your friends from the landline number must be very strenous because the smartphone can handle the pressure of the vigorous typing of prolonged texts.
Sitting under the sun would just provide me with a tanned skin, no freshness as such. Roofs are just meant to take selfies with vibrancy and not to sit, relax and talk out loud.
Well. Phenomenon, may I call it so?
