Instant kichdi !

Instant noodles! Instant coffee! Instant love. Has this bug caught onto you too?

People running around, breaking their heads over getting things done in a jiffy. Spare a moment and you have missed a flight, delayed flight you have missed a meeting, delayed work you have missed a cab! Oops! not a second to stop and breathe, look around and admire. But how long? Weekdays, you are this Robot getting your task done, weekends you are the Zombie trying to catch up lost sleep, and gear up for monday. When will you ever get a life! ?

Then this seeps into your personal love-life. Instant chats, instant messages and instant connectivity, has taken away the beauty and thrill of the long eager wait for that hand-written letter from your love, of the anxious wait to catch a glimpse of him. In this age of instant gratification, you get replica dolls to fill his absence! Now thats really sad. Love is a feeling of the unexpressed, of untold words, of the blissful silence. This cant be filled by the creepy messages that keep beeping at your desk.

No I am not avert to technology.(infact i can't live without my cell-phone!). But I am concerned about the rapid pace of life. Where am I heading too in such a great hurry, that I dont have time to scribble down a small love note for my darling, rather send those mushy electronics bits during travel. Can't we have a day where all these electronics gadgets leave us alone?We go out, and share a few moments of silence with our love without feeling impatient?
