In the era of social networking humans have lost their ability to communicate live. It is a growing concern that we cannot easily strike a conversation with the person sitting next to us in public transport, or in a new college. People are always immersed in their mobiles which, today, give the opportunity to have Internet on the go which 'has brought the world closer' (i know!) but it hinders the natural process a person makes friends....
It is tough today to gauge what a person is thinking just coz of that small communication cum gaming cum camera cum app supporting cum complete attention attracting device in his or her hand! "Is he/shy?", "Is he/she not interested in me?", "Is he/she snobbish?", "What is he/she thinking?"and "I'm gonna stamp his mobile to pieces!" People get engaged on their phones when they are travelling than do things like smile at the person sitting next to you in train (pretty tough na!), or ponder over things, read a book. (Oh! they can do that on their "book reader app"!) But the feel of a book in your hand ahh.. nothing can beat that! It sucks to read an ebook. You don't get the fun and comfort which you get from a real book.
Facebook. The online portal where you can make "Friends"! It is a like a wow status if you have a long friend list. It doesn't matter if you ever talk to some (read many) of them.. Quantity matters not quality. And according to my personal experience, the friends you actually make on facebook are not true. There's no caring, understanding, support that you get from them. But this is not the same for all coz one of my friends (real friend) found her best friend online..
*****
Summing up, just talk to people, it might just make their day to know that they have someone who cares...
