Cyber Addiction

aka Drugless Addiction, is an increasing mental disorder among people. I am writing about the particular case of getting addicted to talking with a stranger for long - an aimless chat. I just wonder why. Could this be the reason? We are accustomed to fake ourselves before others. We say 'I don't like it' when we like it, we say 'yes' when we should have said 'no' and the list is long. But while we chat with someone(a stranger), we talk what we think or what we feel without the second thought of being embarrassed. We try to be the real self there. And that gives us happiness and that is what our mind yields for. We love the Cyber Life that we live. Why not try that out here? Let us be ourselves wherever we are. Aint life beautiful?

Black Day at Kudandhai

'Fate did not take the kids away, it was sheer recklessness of the officials' said my cousin. I do agree with this. I was starting for office; FM radio was on and a lady was talking about the aftermath of the event and saying measures that should have been taken before this horror happened. All of a sudden, people who are not known to most are brought to light, are made prominent and asked to give opinions about an event that had 'happened'. What is the use? Will someone promise that an event of this kind will never happen again in India. If they do, that ascertains the people and that is the way to go. And last, when will the parent class take note of these when they admit their kids to a school? Better late than never. Pray, this never happens again - ever. My condolences.
