A Looser's Race..

It is the festive season but I feel the flow of external communication much less. I just do not visit fb anymore, I had already stopped following tweets for over a month, I do not tweet ( I probably roar on my blogs..sometimes, :P ), I do not read or follow any blog, I am neither there nor active on any other social network site such as Myspace, Google+, Pintrest and so forth.. No one else has pushed me to it but I myself have stopped surfing over the net to hunt for what is going on in someone else’s physical life..though, I am never disconnected at the para-physical levels ( I am not sure if they perceive it.. ).. Friends do meet and call sometimes, I too reciprocate but as I belong to the old school I hardly have sms exchanges. I have always preferred speaking or letter writing. I only drop a text message on the cellphone when I do not expect or need an immediate reply, although, I definitely expect a revert or acknowledgment of the same in some time.

Now I am connected to the world in the same way as I was connected to it six-seven years back, when social networking sites had not taken over the world by a rage. Whether someone agrees to it or not, the whole communication channels have undergone massive reform processes over the last decade and a half. Technology has brought on a revolution which is going to set the trend for the way we are going to live in coming centuries. In my understanding the discovery/creation of the Internet is the biggest after the discovery/invention of Electricity and Nuclear Threat. The first biggest discovery of the man was Fire, second the Language, third was the Screw, fourth the Electricity, fifth the Nuclear capability in the form of an atom bomb and if we survive that, the world will see the sixth in an Advanced form of Internet/connectivity through boxes - small or big, slim or long, mobile or stationed.

A discovery is only significant enough when it dramatically changes the way a man perceives and challenges the world around him. His quest for a win over nature is as old as himself and these discoveries have boosted his moral towards the same. Only if he could understand that winning will not take him anywhere..Moreover as an aberration, his relentless pursuit of victory over nature distances him from his fellow beings, who will be Lost in the frantic race to Win.

..Overall life has a lot to offer when a person has time to listen to its music. I am in less comm with outer world but more with the inner, trying to tune in with what destiny has to offer. Technology has provided the biggest gift of bringing all of us together and nearer than ever before.. let me hope it serves its true purpose in the hands of the whimsical Man.
