Killing a Conversation

Modern day technology has so much to offer for people who want to stay connected. Not bound by time limit not by accessibility. Internet has brought upon a boom into the communication between people. Its pretty easy today to stay on communication with friends, family your near and dear ones. All this could only infer that there will be endless conversations for minutes, hours and much more. We all today do have such experience at least once when we are involved into long conversations and we enjoy having it without noticing time and duration of the chat conversation. The clock keeps ticking and so does the chat messages. We have been into these chats and texts so much today that we just keep on doing it all the time. So, the time you get to have a conversation has increased drastically but this does not increase the content we share. Gone are the days when you used to have quick conversations just to share what we meant to share. Today, its all whooshed out of the window, today conversations are more related to just a pass time. Conversations today majorly has only repetitive questions asking about what the day had in it for the participants and and peculiar term without, I am pretty confused which category the word should be put to? a question, an answer, an expression or what on earth is it? "hmm" that the culprit am talking about. It just amazes me when I look back at few of my own conversation and find almost all 20-30 appearances of this word in a chat of say 150-200 texts. It just drives me crazy. I don't really know why this word is being so popularly used by everyone in every situation, no matter what the question is. Damn man am I an alien or what? Is it that am the only one who hates this word on this earth? May be yes. In my perspective the culprit is a conversation "killer" at least as I see it. I feel that the person who uses this word is least interested to converse with you. It makes me feel like running behind a train leaving a station. Not a great illustration I suppose but I think I have put my mind into words understandable enough. This phrase is a great way to kill a conversation esp. when you are talking to me because there is no definite reply to this text. You think all around and manage to type the same text back in reply. I feel its stupid to keep sending texts to each other that too this word. Yuck, its horrible.

Happy 2nd first Day at HCL ;)

When I first came to know that I was doing to step into the boot of an employee very soon, I was preparing myself for a life completely different to what I was living. A new beginning from the end of student life, a life with financial freedom (although Dad never said “No” to my demands, but own earning is a different level of financial freedom) added responsibility of being an employee of an MNC. I was very certain of being relocated from Hyderabad. Had my bags up and ready for a journey to a new place with a new life style waiting to be discovered. As expected was called to Bangalore (now Bengaluru) and I set out planning a life in the traffic and all the rush of high class social and corporate living beings of IT Capital of India. Day 1: went on with never ending sequence of signatures. Day 2: a boring yet energetic half day.   Day 3: very excitedly I reached office and was having a nice time cracking jokes and making friends. As if somebody cursed the largest laughter in t...

Tour Diary: Goa- The beginning : Nizamuddin to Thivim

The lush green blanket of life covering the land as far as the eye can see started my day off. The Konkan railway route one of the best displays of greenery with nature at its best. Moreover we have had a very good monsoon in these areas this year. You could see how each and every drop of the monsoon is of value when you see the tiny leaves shining brightest holding a droplet like a precious pearl. Sunlight offers the best brightness for us to witness a beauty right from the microscopic levels! If you keep looking at the scenes you will feel as if someone is trying to capture this in a picture using sun as flash for his shutter. The habitual expectation to see tall towers of bricks and steel slowly fades. Being habituated to live in concrete forests since so long; such stark contrast will hit you like lightning, making you forget the dust and rush of cities. You start to embrace the nature at its truest form. Suddenly the lonely feeling of being loner is crowd turn into the ...
