Recently I have been undergoing a great confusion on whether what means of communication we use in our day to day life is good or is it some sort of a mirage to not facing people directly. Yes, I am talking about the technology boom that is taking place. Eventhough I am a Tech-savvy who never really blames technology for what's happening, I now take some me hours to just wait a minute and think about what really I am doing and what I really want to do. 

So, coming back to the story, yesterday I was travelling back to my home with my parents in a taxi. It was an hour and half ride, so my dad decided to talk to the driver. (and yes, the story already started!).The way he was talking seemed like he was very arrogant towards technology, (not really, but the way how people use this technology). So, he starts with the first incident that nowadays when I talk to my grandson about anything, the first thing he is takes his mobile phone out, starts scrolling and never looks at the person who is talking to him. And near him, his dad asks, (13*6 ennapa? which literally translates to what is 13*6?) . 

Son: 1 min dad! (quickly unlocks his mobile and you already know what would have happened, okay, we all have done that atleast once! :P, this is what we are mirroring today!) 

The second instance that he gave was about a person whom he left on the Chennai airport from siruseri (A place in chennai). So apparently the person had to catch the flight at 8:45 in the evening. (So he was in the car by 8:00). The person said to the driver, 

"So I have to reach airport by 8:30 and from siruseri to airport it is 45kms and the car travels in 60km/s so can't we easily reach the airport in 30 mins"

And there the driver stuns up and says,

 "But you forgot the 10 signals that we have to cross and easily that takes 20 mins of our time"

So yeah! eventhough this is funny, this is the state that v now live in.. :(

Okay, too much instances spoils the whole story, saving the other few for next time..
