Time And Tide Waits For No Man

It has been a few days since I was thinking about how lucky our generation are to have everything to make our life so easier .To start a morning at kitchen the gadgets these days have reduced the time to cook food our basic need ,to store it and to make it more tastier than ever. Then our shelters these days have everything that we need and we might need some day. For travel the power machines helps us to reach our destination within no time. At office too gadgets are making our jobs easier . Communications almost competing with the speed of thought. Creativity pushed to all new levels and though we all might be sharing a different work: family: life: hobbies ratio altogether we could not deny that our free quality time is fa better than our parents who literally found it tough to spend time with their kids and spouses since they were so tied down with their jobs and work to make both ends meet .They were the people who selflessly sacrificed their desires passion, time, resources for the brighter future of their children.So now we have so much of free time right??Then comes the million Dollar question

Do we ??Really??

If you are all going to say ‘Yes we have’ then please calm down take a deep breath and rewind and let me know when was the last time you went for an evening walk ,read a book you love, followed up a hobby you loved in your school days and had promised yourself that once you finish your studies and get a good job you would try your hand once again with all efforts in your life. Or leave all that when was the last time you enjoyed the heavy rain with a cup of coffee and great evening snack at your balcony. Since it is a question to yourself I am sure the majority would be sincere and wondering Yes true where has all the time we saved by using latest gadgets gone;the answer lies in the question itself. GADGETS yes the small word which is actually taking back from us. How in a few words we call it with love the Social Media, Facebook watsapp. So after all the efforts by mankind to make his life easier we have reinvested all the time we saved to these so called Gadgets/ Social Media which actually should bring people closer together going by the terminology. But is it actually serving its purpose. Everyday we see posts by people supporting party, God’s whom we worship for strength or be it whatever groupism that mankind can be divided. So when you see a post or comment from your dear friend opposing a thought you strongly believe you are forced to reply with your view which in turn hurts the next 5 and this chain follows. Then comes watsapp which actually is these days the greatest addiction (which can at times surpass even alcohol and smoking) or I would term it as a Massive Peace Of Mind & Time Destructor. It will show when you read the last message when you went to sleep and when you went offline /online and it becomes and unwritten   obligation for you to reply even when you eat, sleep,talk,walk,travel,listen to a song, watch a movie ,crossing the road ………And after all these networking is it really worth the efforts .I am sure all might have noted even if you have 100s of friends on these platforms there will be only a few who might call you on a day you skipped office being sick or helping you out when you are in trouble. And they are not the ones you actually chat with on a daily basis but they share a relation worth treasuring.

So my dear friends my request is to start enjoying life go for walk, read a good book ,make friends who would actually talk with you rather than only texting.

My whole purpose for such an article is for all of us to realize where we might be heading soon; I would conclude with

‘TIME & TIDE WAITS FOR NO MAN,USE IT WISE OR BY THE TIME WE REALIZE WE WOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT WITH LITTLE TIME TO START REALIZING HOW COLORFUL LIFE & THE WORLD IS’In Life we do not have a rewind button

So switch off from all 3G,4GS and all Gs after our office hours start living life by taking a deep breath and enjoying the moments that would actually add value and meaning to our blessing called Life.

N.B.I am not against any social media or chat platforms but only concerned about the ill-effects of misuse and over use of it.
