Before getting into the IDEA, let's pose ourselves few questions..
#When was the last time you tried to talk to a complete stranger while you were waiting for a bus??
#When was the last time you travelled in a train without carrying your IPOD??
#How much time in a day, do you spend without your smartphone??
#How much time in a day, do you actually be like what you actually are??
The gadgets have completely transformed the social behaviour of the most dominant species living on earth-Humans. These gadgets have become so smart that people started preferring gadgets to strangers. Is this supposed to be happening? If this continues, what would be the state of social links and interpersonal communication standards of coming generations?
We listen to music coz that soothes/excites/inspires/entertains us. We chat with our far-away friends coz we love to stay in touch with our all time best buddies. We talk with our loved ones/girlfriends/friends-with-benefits coz we love doing so for some undiscovered or otherwise inexplicable reasons. But it turns out that this has become an obsession. People have got their brains and thoughts buried into these gadgets keeping themselves connected, still being alone..
If this is the scenario, what do you think is the scope for expanding our social circle? Making new friends is not a once-in-a-while process, it's a continous ever running process wherein we bump into strangers, acquaint with them, get to know them, be friends with them et cetra..et cetra.
So my simple IDEA for this gotta-be-a-bigtime issue is... MANAGE your SMART time, by being stupid sometimes.
#Whenever you become a lone nut, never feel like you're alone. There are people out there who deserve to be part of your life, give them a chance! You may love them..
#Whenever you travel by yourself, prepare yourself for the suprises you get from the realtime co-passengers, for one among them may be your future bestfriend banging your back on your next birthday!
#Try being funny. Smiles may not add years to your life but it surely adds LIFE to your years!!
#Start acquainting and befriending your neighbours/classmates/co-staff, for they are your everyday co-humans.
Life is not a race, it's a party! More the people, more the fun!Afterall, strangers are friends waiting to happen!
