My Quandary of Modern friendship
I have the
maximum number of acquaintances & friends that no other generation could
boost of. I have been able to connect to childhood friends, school friends,
professional college friends, social contacts and professional transactions who
became friends not only in my native region; but from far away, nook and corner
of the world. That has been possible only by the technological advances no
other generation was able to witness.
Yet, I have
difficulty in pinning down few true friends with whom I can communicate without
reason, without hesitancy, without reservations, friendship that would be
welcoming both ways, friendship that has some place for sharing, friendship
that is a counselor for our doubts and the clarity of our minds. Mind you, I
have not asked for favours, pie, leave alone sacrifice! That’s sacrilegious in
modern world!
When I seek, he chases
elsewhere.
When I call, he wants to type.
When I meet, he talks to
someone else.
When I wait for him to
finish, he gets back to playing the mobile.
When I share, he looks
elsewhere.
When I talk reality, he
chatters made-up.
Friendships
have become fake and virtual but I live in real World. That’s my dilemma!
In hope I
live.
