Hi...I am back and sooner this time! How are you people maintaining your health??
Well, most of you, when I said 'health', you must be thinking of physical health and would be probably be priding yourself on your near-perfect body. And that certainly was not I meant....What I meant was mental health! Now that is one point for readers of this post to mull over and decide if you are healthy.
The point I am trying to drive home in this post is the mindless Q&A-like conversation taking place between two persons every now and then, in all walks of life ( some may include 'seemingly' in that sentence but I thought that would be untrue!). That is the case mostly when the two persons involved are formal acquaintances. One asks a question and the other replies. That's it! The conversation ends. There are no leading questions to develop a kind of intimacy by which friendships bloom.
This, most of you,by now (majority, the elders), must be attributing it to the advent of cellphones and personal computers. And I, being in the teens, assure you that it certainly is not the case. Yes, time is consumed on the gadgets but an equivalent amount of time is also given to gadget-less activities. Then, where lies the problem?
Most of us believe in the depths of our heart that a trial-and-error method is a sure-fire way of perfecting yourself on any task. .Coming to the answer, the problem is that these gadgets struck the market while people are still in their growing stages. As a result, they could not try out that trial-and-error method of the art of friend-making. (and yes, there will always be exceptions).
So, people, please try to form leading questions next time you converse with a formal acquaintance. I have experienced this a lot and hence thought I would touch on this subject. I am still trying to form those questions and I too am included in that list.
And last but not the least, enjoy the sporting extravaganza which is to commence at London today. Wonder how many of you will be up watching that magnificent spectacle.(Its at 1:30 a.m!!) Danny Boyle's creation. Well, I certainly cannot watch that, so comments are encouraged.... Hear you then from your comments..........Bye...
