It's important, it's about you!



"We need to talk. IT'S IMPORTANT, ITS ABOUT YOU." These are the words that have struck me like lightning from the sky, in recent times. Often, our friends need to speak to us about many different things, but rarely it happens that they invite us for a discussion about ourselves. This indeed gave me the coldest of a shiver. 

In such incidents, many a times we tend to think, "What did I do wrong?", or at least I do, certainly. And as we are infused with an art called as defence mechanism or self-policing, we instantly rule ourselves out of the problematic equation!

While handling such situations certainly got the best of my Achilles heel, they certainly preached me to dive in the sea, in spite of however the wave is. What has caught my realisation is that our friends always consider us as the most priceless assets. And there is no need at all that we need get on our nerves when they say, "It's important, it's about you." Instead we should be always ready to meet and greet them as well as give them a very patient ear.  

So whenever your friends say to you "It's important, it's about you", shed all the fears and all the feelings in your cautious mind! Be free, & remember that these special people always do care.

The Selfie mode!

With a clicking device in almost every youngster's hand today, the selfie wave has truly hit the world. Though the old man's way of posing and clicking has sadly vanished, it's good that everyone now can capture their special moments in these amazing devices that we possess.
With the selfie kicking in, so has its addiction. I have seen people clicking selfies just while speaking with each other or while in a group. These selfies seem to have made us selfish!
Like selfie, there are several more trends gushing in everyday in the "Cellphone World"! Do we really have to be into these devices 24/7? Do we realise that we have a finite existence and do we really want to get stuck in this "net" for life? Its just an illusion friends which is distracting us so powerfully.
"With every device you open its the door you shut"
Today, this selfie device has become like an inner thief which robs us of our precious time.
Mobile phones afterall were invented to CONNECT,
not DISCONNECT!
