Quite ironical, ain't it? Moving away from talking or meeting each other, people are actually preferring to spend all the time on technology of any and every kind. We are slowly moving to a highly unsocial world.

Even I used to start a diary every year in June and promised myself to update it with contact numbers and birthdays of each of my friends.

It's a good page on fb for Hindi.<br /><br />I get the idea of feelings but I would like to compare this with an analogy of photographs. You know how we always smile in photographs and capture only the perfect and beautiful moments. This "remote" closeness is akin to that.<br /><br />Of course, really close family and friends stay as is.Writefully Yourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14838026985016254900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506492966159941624.post-6617302282035744502015-11-23T16:28:20.945-05:002015-11-23T16:28:20.945-05:00So true, despite of hiccups, it's a blessing. ...So true, despite of hiccups, it's a blessing. :)<br />Yes, this handwritten message is awesome.

And some live far away and they feel more close and real. Closeness is more to do with feelings.
