Connecting people

Recently at the airport, waiting for my flight

I was generally observing people, walking from left and right.

They were pushing their trollies loaded with luggage

And walking to the counter, to check- in their baggage.

But one thing was common among them all

Almost every one of them was busy on a call.

Some were desperately trying to charge their phone

While the others were looking for the Wi-Fi zone.

It’s so important to stay connected these days

Clicking and uploading pictures is the new craze.

I have seen people updating their status every hour

Why the world has to know when you are in the shower.

Couples, who post romantic photos and are hungry for people’s comments,

In reality can’t get along with each other for more than a few moments.

If you visit a mall on weekends and see a group of teenagers hanging out

Their favorite activity is to take selfies making duck face, sparrow face and pout.

Today we wonder how people managed without Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp

But they didn’t need internet then for bridging the gap.

Technology has brought the world closer. Now one has access to so much more

But we are unaware of the neighbor who stays just next door.

When a person meets with an accident or when a mishap takes place

Some people are busy shooting videos rather than helping the victims in that case.

So friends, give it a thought what will happen at this rate…

Let’s mend our ways before it’s too late.
