I soon learnt he was returning from a kind of Pilgrimage to the temples in Jammu. I pretended to be aloof while he vainly tried to get my attention was even willing to share his 'precious Walkman'. We were just co-passengers, and I was mostly sad the whole time reminiscing about the happy times spent with my family under one roof. I never understood why he fancied me in the first place. He lived in a different city a few hours away, hence the interjection. I had earned my father’s trust, although my Mom claimed she spent sleepless nights worrying about my solo train journeys! Well, she had her reasons- for I was, at that time, indulging my idle time with a boy I had briefly met during one such train-ride after a visit to my Dad. For the first time, turning 18 actually made a difference. It was a happy escape from the small town I lived in, and I was allowed to make the seven hour train ride to the city alone. I mean, for starters,when was the last time we let a Relationship run its course unhindered by the social networking moguls? Today, we meet someone, and the next minute we have a whole spread of delectable entrees, in copious amounts, to nibble or chew, as we please, and, just as easily, purge out of our system So, it got me thinking- how different were my relationships unaided by the wire-less whirlwind?įor the most part, it consisted of my monthly visit to my Dad who still lived in Calcutta (a.k.a Kolkata) for a few days in a month. There are, however, a few skeptics, like me, who cannot but help linger upon the unraveling scheme of things when it wasn’t this simple or sophisticated to navigate every human interaction to its assigned milieu. Is it plain curiosity? Or, are we just hunting for another interesting story to discuss by the copy machine? It has become almost involuntary & rudimentary to giggle and gossip, or simply ponder our industrious mind, upon the millions of gigabytes of the floating Internet medium (the genesis, if I may presume, to all the nitty-gritty’s of modern technology). A terminology that has been used to resonate anything from substance abuse to mental anxiety, financial strategies to lewd fantasies (not kidding, just check the urban dictionary!!), YouTube videos & Google images capturing actual incidents of a “deer in headlights”.
