Is there even a slightest thought in anyone’s mind on things like how closer friends were when they had an opportunity to wake up on days like Sunday morning and kick the person sleeping next to them just to say it’s time to start yet another bachelor day or wake up with a scream and shout at the stupid flat mate who kept the alarm on his PC connected to big speakers to wake up with the song like “Crazy Train” / “Trooper”. Wasn’t there days when it was so easy to shout from one balcony to the other and ask what time is Friends on start plus today? I am sure every single friend made it a point to say hello and ask what the plan was for that weekend (which was basically just Sunday) and if there was no plan you always made one right there on that phone call to meet and drink or just keep planning till you are board but ultimately end up drinking. There sure was a time when at least once in a week there was exchange of personal emails. And then, there came things like Yahoo groups for common network of friends and then the blogs. Till that time there was exchange of Hi and bye on a regular basis where people opened their emails and typed stuff just to tell a friend Hey bugger, what’s up?
Now that every communication we do is up above through the cloud and I live in the land of the long white cloud (literally closer), there are too many people in my online network (wanted / unwanted), everything we say is out there in the open for everyone to read and comment, I honestly feel we have lost the real friends whose company we cherished way back, every day! Don’t you?

True- I think with sites like Facebook where everyone puts up personal stuff, people don’t feel the need to communicate personally- just read my status on Facebook seems to suffice.
I think though, peopl are slowly moving away from FB and trying to communicate more personally- I am at least.
Nice one dude, ure blog took me back to the good ol days of madras
