Communication:
Communication:
Such an important part in anyone’s life. It can be verbal, written or any of
kind. Communication helps connect people. For me communication is like the
matrix famous Morpheus dialogue "Free your mind". Life brings new
twist & turns each & every day. Something moments to cherish & some
to forget.
But that’s
how it is,”Carry the best & forget the rest".... (Wow that’s a
new phrase/ Tag line I Guess).
Its human
nature to share the experience/ stories or you can say so called Secrets to
there friends (called as besties these days). Some share the stuff/ some write
them/ some keep it to them self. I m a kind of person, who does all of the
above. I talk a lot
I write a
lot & importantly I keep a lot to myself.
There are
pros & Cons of sharing things. Well it depends on what you share & most
importantly with whom you share. Dependability & faith/ Trust matters a lot.
Modes of Communication:
1. Phone
calls (Most Common/ Most Popular):
“फोन हि गरज
नसून सवाई झाली आहे ", SO True. No
one would have ever thought how a small little mobile could take on the human
race. Can’t even imagine a day without mobile. A lots been said that, it has
made global scenario Local & blah blah.....But its most convenient way to connect
with your know ones. A small talk over the phone can refresh you entire
schedule. A call can be local, national, international but the communication is heart to
heart.
2. Face
to Face meetings/ Get-togethers:
These are
generally planned ones. We can say a step after the phone call. We meet people
either by visiting there homes or some mutual place. Face to Face communication
is quite interesting & sometimes speaks a lot even without words. Sometimes
just seeing the person can also be peaceful even without a single word. I think
people express more in person rather than on the phone. Face to Face
communication can last longer than phone calls.
3.
Facebook/ Whatsapp (Latest Hit):
Latest hit
world-wide. I believe any person literate above 12th or even above 10th
standard in on facebook these days. I mean u dont have to be literate to use
facebook or whatsapp but it just an observation. Facebook helps connect &
socialize with people far away. Moreover good platform to make new connections.
Whatsapp is a very vital app in current scenario. My Wife is one of the main
reasons for me to have installed whatsapp. Long time back, before whatsapp we
used to chat over messages, but thank to TRAI, messages were restricted to 100
per day. 100 messages are required just to start the communicationJ. Then Whatsapp came
& rest is history. Good tool to communicate with additional features of
multiple groups & sharing files, location, images & so on.
4. Chat
(For Old time sake):
Chatting
was the hot thing in my college days. We used to specially go to internet cafes
just to log in to the chat rooms & chat online. Mobiles dint existed &
so were X-Box, only mode of entertainment was either sports or internet. That
was how I was into chatting. Later it became part of day to day activity. I
guess Google, Yahoo & Hotmail made there fortune out of chatting only. No
smart phones: infact no mobiles (not even basic phone) but yes, almost every
single college student had an email id (reason was chat off course). Later
android took over & chatting vanished.
5.
Messaging (So called Traditional way of communication):
Mobile
messaging was every effective when the new free messaging plan was launched.
There were no groups to send a message at a time of multiple users. But it was
fun, to message some one exactly at 12:00 at night on there Birthdays. I guess
these days messages blink on the phones only when u swipe you card or by yet
another marketing message.
6.
Letters (Vanishes long back):
The only letters I used to write was official
letters in school exams. I always thought writing letters was the most boring
thing ever. But one day I saw few of the letters of my parents (From Father to
Mother & vice-versa) kept safely in the cupboard. Man I was moved by it. A
letter not only conveys your messages, but the hand writing simply conveys your
emotions/ feelings each & everything. But rt now, only letters which we get
are the government bills, LIC policies etc.
To Cut
the story short:
I have
taken efforts to write all above modes of common modes of communication to
portray how one can correlate with theirs.
Draft
Emails/ Messages:
In all the
modes of communication I like chatting & messaging the most because it has
a Draft Option. I
always have believed writing is much simpler/ easier than actually speaking.
When U write u think a lot, what to write, how to write & so on. And
importantly U have an edit option before you send. Where as when u speak, its “एक घाव दोन
तुकडे ". Similarly when we speak there’s
a lot we always wish to talk but some how due to fear we dont. Writing is a
best way to bring out emotions.
In every
persons mailbox/ Phone there is folder for “Draft
Emails/ Messages". This
little write up is dedicated to them.
These draft mails have to say a lot @ you.
There’s a reason behind a message to be saved in draft. Reason which we knew or
reasons we wish we dont want to know. Even I have multiple such messages as Draft. Which I can’t
send now, but will remind me about the situation, that person, that phase of
life.
These
are small little memories in life, which I think one should Cherish forever.
