Jam, Go With It
This is in continuation to my write up on APPEARANCEE-book! on April 14, 2013.
I would call this as phase 2 and it happens once you have crossed phase 1 that you constructed for this one to follow.
Are you living a life where being online is so much pressure???, I am and its like someone is pointing a gun on your head demanding for you to constantly be there and that too in an available mode, the GREEN! all the time. If you flip trough these pages/chats while you are on something else and you felt like just getting rid of the red circles that show the number of notifications shining like halogen lights that distract you all the while.... aah ha and by mistake if you read something and did not respond, oh yea its known to people, well thanks to the inventions that update you about people and their sniffs with information like last seen, un wrapped messages.... so if do not respond to such things it is presumed that you have declared a war even without you getting a grasp about it or to anyone's notice. It's binding to exist in the world of social media too, you can look dumb if you have not made your presence evident, or if you have not felt chic or if you have not experienced the in thing. For those who are social media gypsy's, people can't get enough fun out of your doings, they need more and more to exaggerate and laugh out loud, then they can't stop teasing you. So a break from "online" is like breaking a national law.
You want to walk silent for a while, why not!! I have faced some questions frequently... like I messaged you... did you not get it.... why no response??? Two mobile numbers and a lot of internet, what do you expect yaar! I cannot be spontaneous to all the communication that happens in and around me, lately I haven't found time to sit and sip a coffee to think something worthwhile. The weekend that went by I could really feel myself and my information that is out there in the space, you kidding me, I love it and I die to be out there, noticeable but you know feeling of being worn-out after a while, I cannot rush to some random party house, eat, drink and overlook my shallowness for those moments.. instead I need concrete time with self, only that is the ultimate solution to this irritation called "hey wassup"!
Do you feel pointlessly left out many times?...... so what? No offense, I like all my friends and their interesting charisma's affect my life, also add meaning to it but I love my steadiness more, I don't want to cut on you, I want to carry you with me all my life, all our cherished time must live on with a progressive energy to it. My head has to be decent enough to promise not to bore you whenever we talk. And so we say hi and not ask why no reply when you know your hi is read, accepted and will be reverted back soon. I am not ignorant about your activities or achievements and I am not rude to you because of jealousy, I am just gathering my thoughts to present it to you when the time is peppy.
So please don't keep banging when I don't reply to you at all!

Na jane aur kya kya .... seriously!
The usual whizz-buzz-pings when they don't even know you came online and went and did not realize, it made you rude, careless and lost but dude tell them you are not what they think, everything is just normal, you are normal and you normally came online, did your stuff, things that you wanted to check, browsed, refereed, wrote and went off, how can you be responsive all the time to all the information, underSTAND ! Sometimes same thing comes for like a 100th time and you feel like throwing away your gadget. Phew, I wish we had some tech to make lot of things invisible.
Smart phones are not always a blessing, I use one and it makes me uneasy most of the time. I had bad few days of back to back questions of not being there to talk and take things further for not being able to run parallel with the world. Yes I have committed a crime, punish .......... don't pressure.
Well written... Punish... don't pressure! :)
