I
|
got an opportunity to (rather forced to) stay
in a 3 sharing room in a Paying Guest (PG) accommodation. I have never stayed
in such sharing because I am someone who has high regards for privacy. Living
with someone you know is something different from living with a stranger.
Tastes, interests and even our routine could be drastically different from one
another. Above all, space to stack your belongings would be limited and
cleanliness/orderliness can never be expected.
Yet, I survived. And I am feeling jubilant.
But, the purpose of my blog post is
not about how I sustained and survived in a PG. It is about what I observed
there.
Every night, the girls come and talk
on telephone. They tap on it and ping. Understandable. Some watch films and
some listen to songs. I understand.
But, most of them just stare at their
mobile facebook. They keep liking other’s status updates… comments… photos… videos
and shares… They keep refreshing to get more and more feeds. And the sad part
is that they sit like this for hours together! While eating also they stare at
it.
Man… I am asking you, who cares about
what is done and who is doing what. I even had a fight with my friend because
she was so engrossed in mobile facebook that she failed to talk with me.
Guys, respect the one beside you and
try to be with them. Else call your family and real friends. Please don’t get
addicted to the virtual world. So much is happening in the real world and you
are missing it out!
Learn to keep your mobile aside or put
it in a silent mode. At least in a Block mode where in the mobile rings when
the people-in-your-regular-life and those-who-really-care-for/about-you calls…
Enjoy life.
Look beyond the smart phone!
Hmmm... You have come up with a solid point!
