'Hello friend ... my life is crazy'

- The opposite of 'reality' is the word 'virtual'. Simulators always feel pleasant. But in the end it is a lie. If technology is not used judiciously, we will lose the culture of relationship and communication.

A seventy-year-old man sits on an Italian sofa in his posh bungalow and talks on a landline phone to his old special friend who has not seen each other for a long time. On the face of this elder is the satisfaction of how happy he is in life and how lucky he is to have a happy family. Even the rumble of sound is mixed with the fruit of success and pride with contentment.

The splendor of his voice and speech was such that the elder wanted to show his friend the extent to which he was living a happy life after retirement. The conversation on the landline phone is such that his friend at the opposite end is expressing his sadness while our hero is interested in hearing about the personal life of the same elder.

The elder's conversation on the phone is something like this:

"Hey dude ... it's just fun. I only have time. What if my granddaughter loves me for playing with me and talking nonsense! The feeling of spending time with granddaughter is something else.

And my grandson .. nowadays he is holding on to his insistence that Grandpa (grandfather) should come to the gym with me to eat and drink with pleasure. How big is your belly ... Hey friend, my grandson is out of breath explaining how I can exercise at this age, son ... "

The elder then says to his friend, "You talk to me." Giving a gesture in front of his friend as if he is not particularly happy in his life, the elder interrupts his friend and gives a glimpse of his world. "My son Bittu He has become such a big man that he stays under stress. His condition is understandable. But don't lose my respect. Despite being busy, Tahuko does. I also have to have a baby together, friend ... I have to say I don't have time ... "

The elders are so engrossed in the conversation that we try not to disturb them. Doesn't it seem like his life is the envy of other elders too?

Breaking into the fun of the elder's dialogue, his grandson enters the room kicking a football. "Grandpa, who are you talking to like this," he says, as if joking a little rudely without looking at Grandpa. The landline phone you are talking about has been switched off for several days. "Grandpa himself is blunt and he puts the phone on the stand with a broken heart and says," Yes ... yes. I know ... go play, don't tell daddy and mommy. "

Friends, this is a one and a half minute short film. As soon as the film is over, send a message to all of us that the appeal is, "Please take some time to talk to your elders."

Overall this old man looks like an old man odd man in the house. The elder feels the same way but talks big in his personal circle. If there is no such personal circle, it can be done through imaginary dialogue and even through dead phone.

Grandparents or grandchildren are a distant thing. Now more and more warm dialogue or quality life crisis is being created even between husband and wife, parents and children.

In fact, we had a culture of teasing our neighbors. Through the letters, the witness body of sympathy was formed. With the advent of landline phones and mobiles, sound has evolved over letters. But it so happened that we lost the expression of the letters and the range of voice communication became just enough (and only when necessary!). Now the sound has faded and the feather touch ride of 'font and text' has come.

All the members of the household (without respect for each other's live presence or understanding of the greatness) are busy 'liking' the outside circle so as not to offend them at all. We take a photo of the hot dalwada on our smart phone and post it on Facebook and then we swallow the cold dalwada to see how many likes it got. Such artificiality, hypocrisy and showing others how happy we are is more like living life.

Fingers and eyes move on the smart phone while the husband or wife is rotating a warm live hand on the head. All the wells are betting on how much they enjoy each other's lives like frogs. Personally, we know how inferior and inferior that person is and seeing his world best philosophical post, we are smiling in his mind for his hypocrisy. Reading long quotes or verses on the glory of marriage and golden occasion on the screen of the phone, one becomes focused only on 'liking'.

This old man of ours doesn't feel alone, he's not the only one talking on the dead phone line.

We too will look like this elder if we remain self-centered in expanding the virtual circle by ignoring live contact, individuals, friends and true lovers.

Now you must have understood the gist of this story. Indeed this elder has acquired materialism. The big bungalow and the son-in-law, grandson-granddaughter all live under one roof. But the members of the household are so engrossed in their lives that their son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren do not even have time to talk to the Mobhi of this household. The grandson is immersed in his world of study, coaching and sports. The granddaughter is shown choking in her personal circles on a smart phone in her room.

A son with a high-paying job watches TV alone in his bedroom, gnashing his teeth in tension like a 'couch potato'. The son is busy in the office, club while the daughter-in-law is busy in the kitty party and parlor. All are immersed in their respective activities, social networks and projects to the extent that this elder is sitting in a huge drawing room but all the members are in their respective rooms. Neglecting an elder is a greater punishment than living alone.

Does it really matter if this old landline phone line is on or not? He had no friends at the opposite end. But as a psychiatrist is interested in the case, without any contact with the elder, friends or acquaintances, they create imaginary dialogues and become engrossed in the idea that there is a world of living contacts around him.

The special words spoken by the elder in such dialogues also make him realize his mood and anguish. The elder tells his virtual friend that he has got what he expects from his family members to live with him, to pamper him and to express his self-esteem.

The average self-centered person has the mentality of realizing that he is the owner of what the Sami person does not have and that he is lucky in that regard. This elder also uses his false pride in the dialogue and believes that my life will be successful only if my friend sees me. Even in the imagination, the friend who does not have all this happiness catches the same.

The opposite of 'reality' is the word 'virtual'. Simulators always feel pleasant. But in the end it is a lie. If technology is not used judiciously, we will lose the culture of relationship and communication.

In the movie 'Cast Away', the hero (Tom Hanks) climbs into a small desert island after his plane crashes into the sea. He is alone. Not even a bird-animal in a close circle. The hero of the film survives on a vegetarian diet and water but the biggest challenge for him is that there is no one to talk to or listen to him.

This deficiency can be fatal for him. Even if it makes him insane, he digs a broken branch into the ground and fills it with coconut husk, which looks like a field scarecrow. Simply, the hero understands his sympathy and talks to him. Describes his suffering. Relieves resentment. Talks. The film depicts the inevitability of a single character for a human being, even if it is fictional. Offcourse! In such a place, even a mobile can get its hands dirty with 'out of reach' ...!
