The Little Things that Matter
Lately, the internet has taken away the good old days' genuine conversations we had with friends and families, the quality time spent together, late-night walks, and the likes. So what changed?
The virtual world has played a role in making us forget the past. If you ask me, they were the best moments and walking down the memory lane, I can't help but smile. However, we can still strike a balance between the virtual and real worlds.
Talk to everyone. Initiate the conversation. You can see the sparkles in the vendors' eyes when you ask how their children are doing. Immense happiness can be noticed when you ask about the well-being of your house worker's family.
Visit your relatives occasionally, spend time with them. Go to your home-town, talk to the village people, know about their lifestyle. In the end, we are still eating what they are harvesting. We are neither investing bytes of data nor 'o's and 'i's.
Involve yourself in family discussions and get-togethers rather than swiping through the list of online contacts or pages of Facebook. Create your own trademark and joy behind interactions rather than hashtagging them on Insta. Machines haven't taken over us humans yet. And, that is how it is going to be, at least for the next decades. What is going to stay is the impression that you have created on other people's mindsets and what they think about you. This is going to remain forever as ideas in their minds.
