CHATTING VS CONVERSATION

LAN wire gets welded 2 ur computer and there u r,connected with the whole world.within 14.1 inches of screen u can see whole universe and with few mouse clicks and hits on keyboard, u can command it.thats the power of internet.

b4 the operating system gets completely logged on, one needs to signing into orkut,ymsngr,gtalk,etc,etc nwdays.forget all other tasks 4 which most ppl lyk us buy a computer, studies of course. i beg ur pardon 4 mentioning studies but its the main excuse of buying a computer.the actual reason being net and entertainment.

social networking thats what ppl call it.it is very nice that u get in touch with ur distant friends or have not met u 4 long,what abt roommates xchanging scraps just to increase their number.the new competition, the number game of scraps , friends and fans with no end and no prize to compete 4.

i wonder whether these kind of stuffs serve the real purpose of friendship and relations.i feel that social networking only serves networking.the feeling of being social is gradually leaking out.

i remember ,few days back,there was no internet connection available for few days .the complete scenario of the hostel changed.all had gossip sessions sharing themselves with each other which they rather do on gtalk or yahoo messenger.some got tym for playing cricket and TT.some started reading novels,some started preparing and some even thought of leaving 4 home.they had become frustrated and spent each second waiting 4 internet as if they would have been waiting 4 their soulmate whom they hadn't met 4 yrs.after regular intervals they opened the google homepage and got shattered when they saw "page cannot be displayed".

the warmth and xcitement of any relation whether u r friends, colleagues, classmates,collegemates, is receding its way out which was supposed to be there b4 the extensive use of chatting started.emotions being replaced by smileys of different kinds.pings and buzzes in place of hellos and hiyas.i find ppl not knowing each other when they meet in reality although they r there in each others friend list.they will give cold stares at each other (as if they r strangers 2 each other )when they pass by though their chat windows r full with ":)" nd "hehe" "haha" types of words,not 2 forget ..LOL.
lots of laughs or laugh out loud ,whatever it is. i wonder how much of haemoglobin they would have increased if they had really laughed out loud so much.
the time which ppl used to hang out with friends is now spent in xchanging scraps.ppl prefer typing 2000 lines pressing innuberably on a silly keyboard to convey a thing which they would have said in 2 minutes if they had opted for a simple conversation.

i don't know what 2 write more abt this thing. i m becoming perplexed.got this thing suddenly in my brain's contemplative part, so just retched it out in this post.

what i feel abt a conversation is that:
The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right place but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
one can never have a real feeling of conversation by sending instant msgs.
No body is exempt from saying silly things; the mischief is to say them deliberately.

PREFER CONVERSATIONS OVER CHAT
