My mobile has been
beeping continuously since last night with WhatsApp
messages flooding in, from various groups- ''News channels had prepared for
Clinton and Trump, Modi came out of syllabus''
And- ''The Delhi smog is finally
explained...it wasn't crop burning, it was cash burning''
Then - ''While America is still in labour,
Modi delivered.''
Another message, the best one- '' Ek
9\11 main America hil gaya, dusre
9\11 main India hil gaya''
I
am amused at not just the wit of people creating these messages, but also at
the speed at which these kind of
one-liners emerge! This instant humour
apparently is the latest addition to the tribe of INSTANTS-instant food,
instant wash, instant cash, instant loan......name it and it is instantly
available.
A
few decades ago, trunk calls and telegrams were the fastest modes of delivering
urgent messages, these days, a click on 'send', and the message is delivered .
'Click' then was synonymous with relationship status....today 'click' is
synonymous with speed.
In those days women consciously spent long hours
cooking a meal, brewing the tea, boiling drinking water. Maggi did not come
with its two minute noodles, Taj did not
come with its ready teabags, Eureka Forbes had not introduced its Aqua guard to
those women's rescue! Men spent long hours reading newspapers and children
spent long hours playing time consuming
games like hide-n-seek and saakhli.
There was no hurry in finishing
tasks nor was there an urgency of meeting deadlines. I have
experienced the leisure of that time as well as the fast pace of today. Though I admit missing the serenity of those years, I do admire the latest technology and
applications that quicken and comfort life processes today, the patience of the
older generation and the skill of the younger generation makes India a highly progressive country.
Similarly, your search for a Dream HOME deserves
patience and perseverance, skill and dedication. It is not only an investment of a lifetime but also expresses
each of its member's dream. Once you find it, do not miss it... 'CLICK it'
