For Nature and for God all are equal –
all of us have 24 hours a day [86400 seconds] – most sleep for close to 8
hours; close to 9 or 10 hours would be the Working time and another 2 hours
spent towards travel from and to Workplace to Home. That leaves 4 hours of time at least to do
things closer to one’s heart.
In an age of communication, where some
carry more than a mobile, people generally speaking are speaking. Talking all the time – yet not taking calls,
telling people that one would call back, but fail; lie that one is in a
conference / meeting and et al. what
keeps people so busy ?
Read a newsitem today [in Daily Mail]
that One in four Britons speaks to their
loved one for less than 10 minutes a day.
How much do you talk to your spouse and with your children ? Are you spending some quality time at all ?
The news states of Couples suffering a 'conversation coma' where some
speak to each other for less than 10 minutes a day - increasing workloads are
blamed for the downturn in people talking to their loved ones. The survey also revealed that four per cent
of people completely ignore their partners and another one in four cannot
remember the last time they sat down to dinner together. Interestingly, Two-thirds
said they preferred spending time on social media sites such as Twitter and
Facebook in the evenings rather than sharing a home-cooked meal.
It is not only with partner, perhaps with
known persons, with Society, with next door neighbour - face to face talk is on the decrease. Instead, communication is filtered through
technology such as mobiles or emails which give the appearance of intimacy but
are actually a barrier to real contact. There
are some who into texting [SMS] and posting messages on FB most time.
In India
Where do you fit in, have you ever
thought on this ? Ponder over.
