the wait

waiting for the phone to ring...
waiting for a new mail in my inbox
waiting for a new comment on my FB pics....

the wait seems interminable...
each sec seems like ages...
when will i c the name flashing on my phone that i long to see...
when will the i hear the voice i need to hear...

these are lives complexities...
that even in this super connected world...
there are times u long for someone to near...
they make you even more lonely..
as u know they are a phone call away...
but you are not sure if indeed they are a phone call away...

these mental distances may break us...
wen you see them everywhere in the virtual world
but still are unable to reach the person u long to reach...

man has conquered physical distances...
he has made the smaller place...where every corner of the world can be reached..
when will man conquer the mind...
when will man be able to abolish the deep chasms that develop..
wish there was a technology that would fill in the chasms or direct us towards a easier solution
than waiting and watching...
its a tough tough wait....

song of the day: ektara from wake up sid

This is fantastic. Honestly, I think this is how many of us feel these days (especially our generation who has grown up on cell phones and the internet) with respect to technology. It's supposed to connect us..but in some ways it has completely disconnected us because we take talking to each other for granted. And the only one I can talk to without dialing a phone, or emailing is God. Keep writing pieces of your mind!
