Working on a Journal revision
squeezes your brain like anything!. You have to have a perfect memory which I
am lacking nowadays. May be I am aging of course, physically 😊
. back to journal revisions, you have to compile all the reviews given by
multiple reviewers, review their reviews and look for similarity and disparity,
recollect the work done two years ago.. My god. I want to escape from that task
as of now and get in here!
This topic is bugging me for quiet sometime. A day of anybody these days wont
cross without checking WhatsApp, facebook and twitter. If not facebook and
twitter, at least WhatsApp is mandatory as it involves many official messages
too. I am sure of receiving at least 500
messages per day on WhatsApp even after putting
few groups on mute!. I see few groups
are created and as days pass on, we forget the motive behind and getting out is
also not possible. I see in few groups, people interact heavily just to pass on
time!
One thing that bothers me is that, anything virtual is useless
and I don’t appreciate any conversations that happens just to while away the
time. I do understand many ppl are made to be idle due to family situations but
still these types of conversations make your situations even worse. I don’t have
rights to advice but just felt pathetic for those active minds which can be used in a more productive way!
And yeah there is something bright existing in any dull
thing. WhatsApp is really useful to get
in touch with really real friends who only contact for help or suggestion and to share happiness. Mind, not to pass their
time!
I do believe in relationships that really works well in
reality and not in virtual reality. I have few
friends with whom I don’t converse even
once a year but whenever I feel like talking I call and speak the same way we
did many many years ago! I feel if this is possible, then you have a justification
for your social network friends. Also if
you could remain the same when meeting the same friends at your home as you
greet them on the social network then you even have a stronger justification. Recently, felt bad for not making to one of my
old students, Sathish’s marriage who came to my wedding ten years back!. I
really had a tough time at work on that day. Hope he understands and sure will
call you soon Sathish.
I just thought of penning (typing 😊)this thought as I am afraid humans will get confused with
the virtual and the real humans around them soon. Certain
chatbots are targeted to pass time for thepeople who don’t even have social network
friends. As per me, family remains at
the top priority and avoiding them to chat with a virtual friend is dangerous. I
appreciate friendship a lot as they influence your life journey a lot more than
family members. I am proud to say that I
have good set of people around me who tolerate my jabber, silence and sometimes
my strange replies. I have a lot of
policies which I will not violate whoever it is. Initially my friends get hurt but later they
understand and accept that with a smile. Its quite not easy to get along with me but
still I have good set of people of around only because I have not believed in
the virtual relationships! I feel we
should have correct and true people around us which will really help us falling
a prey to depressions and loneliness.
Hope I did not hurt anybody
and this post was meant to create a
positive vibe and I hope it will not at
least create a negative vibe. Happy
reality!
