The other day I saw four teens chatting together. They were seated at a table in a crowded Cafe and were deep in conversation. From the expressions on their faces and Intensity of their tones, one could tell that they were talking about something serious, something they felt deeply about.
Was it Corruption in public life? Was it crimes against women? Was it about the 2014 elections? Whatever it was, there was something curious about their conversation. And the curious thing was that though the four of them were sitting together at the same table, they were conversing not with each other but to their phones, or sending text messages, or generally fiddling with their mobile phones playing games.
If people want to talk not to the people they are with, but to talk on their phones to people who aren't there, why are the with the 1st lot of people? Now a days taking to or texting to someone in your cellphone is no fun unless there are at least three or four people around you to witness the act. This is the reason why Parties are becoming so popular these days. What is a Party? A Party is a place where people get together to talk not to each other but to talk on their phones to people who are not present in the party and thereby let all the people who are present know what a VIP(Very Important Phoner) you are.
The day I guess is not far when you suddenly realize that, you can't think of one single person in the whole world whom at this particular moment you have a need or desire to phone or text for any reason....
