It was few days back, when someone buzzed me on one of the social networking sites.
I was struggling hard to identify the person with the name; yes… his name was very much there in his profile. Still couldn’t recognize.
By this time, the conversation had already begun and I replied as if I knew him well. Still, I was yet to know who that person was!!!
Then I surfed his profile for his photo realizing he was my colleague in the previous organization I was working with
How lame I thought to myself…
A person on my friend list and I don’t know him.
There are many more such friends on my list and I aint in talks with them.
So... This is the case with most of the social networking sites now.
People add them onto their list but don’t even have the time to share a ‘hi’!!
They are used to update the cookery for the day and climate rather!!
So does this solve the purpose!
The other extreme to this; people start the “keep in touch” via these sites and they actually lose the precious moments they spend talking with their near and dear ones face to face.
The emotional touch to the friendship is lost coz of all these is my opinion.
However, for the loners, this is the best way to keep them busy and happy!
Social networking is indeed the thing now and we being social animals cant live without it!
