ASL PLZ someone buzzed me, lifting my eyebrows with a flabbergasting look , I wondered what did it mean. One of my comrade enlightened me with this trend of communication ( age, sex, location), this is what that stranger friend had asked me. ' Stranger Friend' sounds contradicting, isn't it? as astonished was I when that laddie propelled the conversation by calling me his friend. One query popped in my chaotic mind, was I unaware of relationships or is this chap misleading me.
Throughout my life, friendship always meant having immense trust in every letter of any word spoken by that person. Standing hindmost, to hold him when he falls back. And a beautiful way of keeping your head on your friends shoulder, wetting his jersey actually feeling the cosy.
Neither did this human on the net knew anything about me, nor did i. First time I realised what value people have for relationships, the seriousness involved in any bond. After prolonged chats since 5 and half years and definitely meeting a variety of people in college, office, my distorted emotions knocked my frustrated(baulk) brain to stop believing anyone and anything. People dont value emotions,relationships and the most important thing they lack is good communication skill. Exceptionals are always there, but where? perfection was I looking for? correct me here>>
Mr 'A' ---- hi, asl plz?
Me-how are you?
Mr ' B'--- I am a good person .
Me-- really are you >????? '' good''
Mr A--- trust me...
TRUST ME'' so easily said but so tough to get convinced. Expectations of net freaks to trust them by having 30 seconds of chat, sounds bizzare.
Trusting them will term you a complete dunderhead. Value of words?
Mr 'A' - want sex chat?
Me---- Goodbye.
Not one, but there are people in lots , not just guys but even girls who come on the net with their lusty feelings. Sometimes abuse someone for a shitty reason and sometimes for absolutely no reason.
Is this the current generation? or are these the people with whom we interact daily talking to their innocent faces but hiding in masks? Are we sure, we know how the person is with whom we are talking? whom we call our friend?
Every second person you talk, laugh or give company doesn't become your friend. According to me friend is just a friend, there is no best, good, close attached to it.
When asked to people'' how many friends you have?'' the usual answer I used to get '' 1000's and more, that I cant remember''.
So many friends that you actually cant remember? so are they really friends?
have they helped you in your bad times and have you done the same? have you actually felt like sharing your joys and sorrows?
Sounds as chickpea these conversations to be ignored anytime but yes, these will be the question you will raise in your future.
THINK ABOUT IT.....
thankyou,
