Worldly connection!

Since past three days, my mobile SIM was disabled somehow by the service provider. I roamed around for three days to get back the connection working. It was like I just wanted the connection to be up so that all my people could contact me easily. I was wondering if we do not have mobile in this modern world how to live without talking to our loved ones on any day. So much of dependency on this small gadget.
  I was just recollecting the evolution of communication technology in the last 10 years. It’s like mobile numbers have become part of identity of a person. It’s like you think of any person first thing about the contact of the person is about his/her mobile. If one does not possess a mobile we wonder how to contact them even though all the legacy means of communication still exist. But some of the means of communication which we used to use like letters/posts have almost become obsolete. But using mobiles definitely cannot replace the beauty of writing and reading letters. The way one expresses feelings/thoughts in letters cannot happen over mobile.
  On the other hand there are disadvantages of having a mobile too. One cannot get disconnected from people for a while, even if we want to be alone for sometimes. It has become a tracking mechanism of a person ;-).
The biggest advantage is definitely the connectivity which it gives and helps people to be in the place of need in urgency (medical or whatever). My sister lives in Canada and she calls up to my mobile whenever she wants to talk to me and same thing she would have done even if she was in Bangalore. So it’s like you never miss a person very much and world has become smaller and connected in that way!
Ok, now I need to stop writing as I am getting a call on my mobile now.. ;-)
Have a good day,
Going mobile.

Expressions

I am back again inspired to write on the same day!

These days after being a mom for a 1-1/4 year, my son has captivated all my attention to him when i go home or even when away from home. His expressions are priceless and make us speechless.
 Before having a baby, i used to wonder how people take a baby and carry them everywhere, oh so much problems. But now i feel its so much of a blessing to carry a kid and see them enjoy everything because for them everything will be new and fresh experience. That's what ignorance make people to be happy and smiling always. Its like re-living our childhood and those experiences and recollecting what we used to do.

I remember a hindi writer Mahashweta Devi whose poem we had in our 8th std, she was explaining how she was re-living her childhood by seeing her daughter play and playing along with her those funny games and growing up with her once again but this time as a mother.

Still I see how should i be teaching my son his first class room lessons and singing those innocent rhymes about stars, dogs, sheep etc.. Feels like everything is fresh and new in this world even after seeing so much troubles.

God has created kids to rejuvenate us and relive our dreams, rekindle our hopes and establishing strong bonds. He has strong plans in this process of reproduction of living beings and making them live their life with a purpose.

Now I am thinking what will my son do when i go back home today. Those thoughts are good enough to look for the evening.

So signing off for today..

Inspired writer

Hi everyone,
 As I start writing this blog, I wish you good life to all. I am not a good writer with the kind of creative skills  and mind i have. After seeing my friend write her thoughts/experiences, i am inspired to open up my thoughts and write few lines.
   I have heard some people say to write down our thoughts either in happiness or in sadness. When happy, it will simply increase our happiness and help in re-living the moments :-). When sad, it helps in shedding the feelings somewhere out than shedding those feelings on some people and make them feel sad too.
 So both ways its beneficial and make us become more balanced.
I hope you all enjoy reading it.

Feeling ecstatic about becoming a writer,
Ranjani
