The world is not what it used to be a decade from now. The pet toys of only the filthy rich once , i.e. th telephone , the cell phone , the computers, have become a way of life with changing times. With all these we are thrown toward the proverbial paradox of 24x7 connectivity.
Connectivity with changing times has donned a totally different costume. All it means today is your telephone no. , your email id , your fax no and all that. So lost in all these technical gibberish is the real thing " THE TOUCH HUMANE".
Although there are numerous examples every where (just look round the corner) but the one I would quote is what happens within my sphere. There used to be a time when there was no internet ( means in our rooms) and the night was the jewel in our ordinary life. The chats used to ate up the night, the laughter used to fill the emptiness of the night and sheer entertainment value used to make it one event every one looked forward too. But then came the big bad " Connectivity Tsunami" and suddenly we were all CONNECTED.
And zap there was no more chats(there is a few exception), no more laughter and no more " friends galore " nights. All that was left was those blokes staring into the computer screen trying to find someone they can connect to, someone they can chat with, find someone they can be comfortable with. Ironical , ain't it ???
In fact the only reason i am writing this is because I couldn't find a computer to be online. Maybe we all are bored of the old routine or maybe we are dumbstruck......sorry time over folks ..........
there is a free laptop let me CONNECT to the world!!!!!
Well its the first one in my "The Agony of Being" series.
AVERAGE , a self imposed label. But a just and a deserving one( finally getting something i rightfully deserve). A label i desperately tried to shed over the years but its a sticky one and you just can't wriggle out of it.
I always wonder why i have to be on the borderline between the average and the lower rung? I think it would have been a lot better had i ended up on the lower rung cause then i would have no expectations to live up to , no promises to fulfill and more importantly no souls to disappoint.
Is it really that bad ?? I always think so . When you are in the mediocre area people don't expect much from you and whatever you give away is sort of a bonus. Not a great position but a better one.
The biggest problem is the problem of Disappointment . Its really tough to end up disappointing the ones you really love and its compounded by the fact there was nothing more you could have done.
So what is my pick for the best or rather the worst???
The average intellect is the winner hands down. Although its a relative label and there are a lot of people who will love to be in my position but still i think its the worst part. Its something that have always let me down when it mattered the most. On this front i really would have preferred the mediocre option if there was one. Sounds outrageous but trust me its better than the current position. Or so it seems so only???
It all sounds very melancholy . I know that but sometimes you just have to get things out.
I do think like that, very rarely though, and i think its an honest attempt to accept things you don't like rather then hiding them behind the veil.
