The lights went off and the message box popped up - "A network cable is unplugged". I knew that it’s a major power shut down in the office premises.
Woooo Hooooo… now its formal n official – “NOT TO WORK”… light hi nahi hai bhiya…
I was not the same hardworking guy anymore. I have changed a lot. I used to love my work n workplace. Looking back; things at my job have been going down hill. Not for what I do… but the environment in which I do it. I feel more skilled and capable at what I do but feel less like anyone cares about the quality of that work.
There is so much spinning in my head. It's difficult for me to explain the emotional satisfaction aspect of where I am coming from in my current position. Basically, I came to the conclusion the other day while riding to work… I just want to work in a position where I get more satisfaction. I'm a very hard worker, very interested in doing a good job, quality work.
One of my colleagues nodded me on my shoulder – “what are you thinking?”… I replied back… “kuch nahi yaar!!! I am meditating… stress release kar raha hu… ha ha ha…”
I checked for the network connection… Internet is not working; g-talk is disconnected... I feel isolated. Everyone left their seats; I was still resting on my chair and waiting for the power to resume. I moved my mouse cursor to the battery charger; it showed – “Fully charged (100%)” It can survive for another 3+ hours…
Most of the friends on my chat list are my old school buddies. I never met them after school; still I am very much updated about their lives. In this digital age; everything seems to have a virtual version. Virtual love or friendship is not a new topic, but I just think of it when I communicate with several friends of mine thru chat. I just get to think what if we talk facing each other or over the phone? I hate the term virtual friends… my friends are not virtual; they are real people. I have to say… I am not an outgoing or talkative guy in real life; if it's not a distance course; I am afraid I couldn't make any friends. When chatting online however, people are more willing to tell more about themselves.
Although I mistrust meeting new people online (perhaps I'm missing out on something good), I do believe that virtual friendships and perhaps relationships can be formed… unconventional and risky, many people do find the roots of friendship and love in the virtual realm.
Maybe internet is a good place to know more about each other. But virtual relationships have some downsides too. A polite, well-educated person could be a criminal in the real world. Sometimes, trust is just a difficult thing in the virtual world.

I feel one can may be find love & friendship in virtual connections. After all love is just a feeling...
And in today's world when distances hardly matter, it shudnt be difficult. Besides proximity has never gauranteed love and understanding so might as well.
