These days, I’m taking a great amount of interest in
Facebook – a social networking site. It is as good as its name is. It is as
close as a next-door neighbour – a click away.
This spontaneous interest is due largely to the fact that I
can make friends with persons from different walks of life, that I can share
views and experiences with such persons, that I can have a look at beautiful
photos and enjoy them and that I can post on wall what I have on mind. Great!
I’ve made friends with many girls and boys. Ha……… ha …….…. ha………………….….
Well, sharing views and interconnecting with people of
different walks of life – students and professionals – is amazing. The site has
brought us closer.
Making most of the leisure time, I had just surfed through
the social networking site. An Adjective word – hopeless – caught my attention.
It zoomed large before my eyes. I thought what the word was posted on the wall
for and what the writer wanted to say. The word sent shock waves down my spine
and kept coming to my mind. Promptly, I wrote on the wall hoping that this will
assuage his disappointment, if any; “Why hopeless? There is no space for being
hopeless in life. Be hopeful, optimistic and always try to see light at the
other end of tunnel. They say; “There is a silver lining in every cloud.” When
people can talk of the cloud that has no life, when people can see life in the
cloud hoping for a better future, why can’t you, boy? Never lose hope. Got it?”
I can’t say for sure if he is disappointed in his real life. I know him. He is
just 20+ and has exceptionally high degree of zeal, energy and enthusiasm. He
has a passion to do more than what others have ever achieved in their lives. He
has the drive to move ahead in his life. Yet, the word, ‘hopeless’ from the
young engineer, does not befit him and his outlook on the life looked getting
blurred before me. Being close to him, I know what is going on his young,
restive mind. He should at least share what is brewing and what he is thinking
of at the moment. But, I am sure for one thing that he will remain strong in
his conviction, stay unnerved in his decision as to how to lead his life ahead
and be an example to his younger brothers.
I know his father and mom. They are understandable and
capable of feeling the nerve of situation. I hope that they can understand
their son and read his mind.
What the younger generation of today is up to? They get
disappointed and frustrated instantly even at a minor flaw. Frustration and
disappointment are writ large on their faces, as if they were its inseparable
part. They are clearly visible on their
faces. They tend to lose hope even at a second, as if there were nothing on
hold for them for their future life and as if they were tired of their lives at
so young an age.
