Beep Beep – It’s me, LOVE!!

 

Tasks are multiplying, new gadgets to be entertained, new news to digest , remain update, eat healthy, stay fit, stay cheerful, trying to leave a sparkle everywhere we pass by – there is so much to do but hours in the day remain the same!! Modern life and lifestyle has brought all this with it. And just when we were about to call it a day- booom…. “love” happens!!

Love was supposed to be telepathy, a connection which existed beyond a digital beep on the smartphone. Well now, it is, what it was not!  Love is a beep these days. The more the beeps, the more the expression, the more the love and thus more the illusion. When cupid looked down at earth with faces dug in the phones, he must have thought of simplifying all the complex phenomena of love. 

Thus love became directly proportional to the length of chat history.

Let’s say, love is equivalent to the number of beeps, having said that, have we tried feeling the same love in absence of those beeps? If you do … congratulations! you might be in real love (or atleast the illusion of the same) but if you don’t, try this out – “Out of Sight, Out of Mind”

When love is quick and convenient as per uber lifestyles, recognizing the real one would be quite a task. Ask that love to disappear for a while or just switch to a feature phone for a couple of days. You will have some analysis in hand at the end of the day.

We are human beings with even shorter memory spans these days. What remains on top of the mind becomes the center of interest. In this situation, giving time to realize that cupid is throwing its arrows on you might be a bit difficult. Being in constant touch can illicit feelings for anybody – I will say again – “anybody”. Please don’t do that to yourself. Take eyes off that 5.5inch HD screen and lay them on him. He might be looking at you!!  But if he is also eyeing the phone, dude, you are wasting hell lot of time here.

PS- Also do the ‘Out of Sight, Out of Mind’ test before you get into a commitment, it might just open your eyes and save you from feeling stupid afterwards.

Bla(n)ck Hearts

The New cOlOr of heart is Black

With the new upgraded version of android, the androiders can now send a heart smiley (<3) in text messages and also can jump & show off about it. I just received one! And this little Black-heart icon takes me to yet another connect of the technology with relationships. Technology with relationships-what shit she is talking about? But yes,  I am talking about relationships with technology- how technology effects, influences and evolves any relationship.

Communication is the mother to any damn relationship on this earth. As a famous tag line says -“Baat hogi tabhi to baat banegi” (when talking will happen then only something beyond might happen). In simple flowchart language- we talk>>know each other>>like/dislike>>result: Relationship (no matter what kind of). With all the state-of-the-art techniques and facilities of communication available, we often start taking people and their availability for granted assuming they are just a call away but in the process we tend to pile up  a huge heap of such taken-for-granted-pending calls that ‘they’ don’t remain anymore just a call away. They just drift Far Away!

We tech-savvy and so called new age people wonder how would it have been in black & white times , writing letters and then waiting for not less than 15 days for its reply; these days when I receive even a mail, I first go to ‘sent items’ to understand the context of the reply received. In even blacker and whiter times (ancient for that matter), the kings stayed away from home for decades in order to fight for his region and still returned back to find his wife waiting for him with all the love in her eyes; these days people go through a literal brain-wash if they are away even for a month and break up is the understood following route.

Our lives these days are very restless, changing places, positions and people frequently! We say “BYE(s)” very often now and add a “Stay Connected” to it as an understated suffix. But we don’t realize, when those byes convert into Goodbyes, forget connect we even loose contacts, and then when no one is left, we read/write such articles!

The original color of heart is supposedly Red which means a symbol of love, affection and warmth. In Black & white times, it must be actually red, when people really remain connected not by texts or calls or comments or likes but by hearts and thoughts! Now that everything else has become so colorful, the heart has taken a back seat! People love (or at least pretend to) till they see each other; brain works as the second heart and insensitiveness is named being practical.

Now I understand why android developers have kept the color of their Heart smiley- Black!
