life continues

The number of vivid characters you encounter in today's world is amazing.

Many times people are jolly which leads to a happy feeling and a chirpy mood. But then the negative vibes from some others are so strong that it makes you feel that sadness has clogged their hearts.

Some people are outgoing. They like to be with people,have lots of friends around them, hang out and make most out of their life. But some are so engrossed in their own virtual world that they dont even seem to know what happens around them.I am going to talk about such people now. And I am happy that I am not among these ones.But strangely they might think they are happy not being amongst people who have a social life!

In UK and India I met quite a few people like this. They are people who will be perpetually absorbed in playing games, using IMs and social networking sites( I am partly like this).

I dont know, how we can survive in a virtual world where we meet people in games and chat room and we will most probably never ever see in real life. They are also sometimes so famous, which i came to know from a gamer whom people come to meet from different parts of India! And not to mention his Yahoo messenger friend, Facebook buddy and so on. His list of these 'virtual' friends categorized by the type of communication used is quite commendable.

Lets take the case of girls who prefer to be sad and lonely.They are so afraid that someone will destroy their precious life that they bundle themselves into a corner and rot there.They need people to show them the light outside the 'room'. But only if they ever get out from that secluded world will they know that there are infinite things to do and see. Meeting new people and making friends helps to gain knowledge and understanding about different cultures and their way of thinking. One such good friend I know makes friends easily by showing a genuine interest in knowing a new culture and their ways. He can converse with them about their education system, cricket games, football leagues, politics, etc. in volumes. And the fact that he asks many questions is proof to make out that he really listens. what does he really get from that? Don't really know but this I feel is the main objective of knowing more people.

How many friends do u have? How many out of them do you really know properly? How many do really know you properly? How many will stand behind you and support in your worst and best times? As i raise the questions the list goes down dwindling.

Some days you are just standing in the balcony of your house in the night and staring into the oblivion looking for some sort of inspiration.I am like that right now, having a smoke and drinking tea and thinking about what am I doing in life and where it's taking me and all kinds of shit. Well at that i dont know why but always a smile creeps up on my face, telling me i am doing alright cause there are worse than me. And so on life continues....
