Father and Son
It is much recently that my relationship with my father has improved so much.
Well yes, we here are talking about the typical Indian family, where the boy maintains a professional relationship with his father, and treats him like his boss.
Nonetheless, me and my father were having a cup of tea each when he spoke out to me - 'Do you know Ankit, we in our days could never imagine to be bored. When we were young, we were just excited about everything.'
Yes he had discussed his
stories of chasing monkeys and tying a thread on a dragonfly's tail, chasing it around. All of this this spun me into the thought process, which has finally compelled me to write this blog entry. Does it not intrigue you. Why are we people so bored now-a-days. No fun no excitement
Is the technology really the culprit!
Well as i have come to think about it, I realized this to be true for me, technology was causing this mania. Well of course technology is just a tool and the user of technology decides how to go about it blah blah... it is all well and good. It is to all the users of technology then.
What i came to realise is that in the last 10-15 years or so, we have become interconnected to everything. Information flow is increasing exponentially every second. This has caused an onslaught of information on our brains.
We are just surrounded by very useful information on all sides and of course the brain is trying to grasp information at a rate it can never swallow. This non-stop flow of information
and this non-stopping social networks that we are associated with is probably causing an overload on our brains.
We have seen the entire cosmos on our tablet screens. How in the world will there be anything that can excite us. Come on think about this. We have had 6 relationships and broke up by the time we were 17. We thought this is all there is in a relationship. I already gave up on
anything that meant love.
This onslaught of information is throwing at us situations and possibilities that maybe we are not ready to experience yet. The world is full of wonders. Do not turn a blind eye towards the life inside and around you
