As I learnt to live alone, in a new life , away from home, and friends I did not realise how time would slowly distant me away. I would walk into the house chattering away my day to my parents till dinner got over and would have still so much more to tell my friend over messages in the night or on my way to work early next morning.
When I moved to Bangalore a decade ago, my parents continued to call me as I enter my house and they would go through my exciting emotional confused and often pointless stories of the day , most of which was at work and some of it with friends. I have friends here , but I never thought that I could not meet them whenever I wanted , something that was so normal at one point of time. It was now more of weekend meetings and everyone, most of all me , was really busy with their own lives. Dinners , lunches , meeting for a drink or a coffee was more of a ritual to break from the everyday routine. I often would find myself at loss of words across a table. Often lost in thoughts I would think why am I even talking? but then I wanted everyone around me to keep talking..
I come home from work and often after dinner, calls, mails , some Watsapps Tv and messages spend time on google. So many questions that run through my mind on health, relationships, life, the poem I read in my first year or reading a critique of the play Look Back in Anger, some Bollywood gossip to who wore what at Cannes, the latest movie released to what is the fashion trend for haircuts this season, google has answers to everything I ask. It sometimes entertains me more than TV , unless the TV plays one of my fav series or movies. I don't hesitate to pick my phone and bug google through the night with multiple thoughts that are looking for answers , right up to tarot readings.
Of course google cannot be there when I fall sick like my friends are there to take care of me ...I know that..but it can cheer me up when am low... It jus tells me with quotes Never to give up, with stories of other people it tells me life happens, it's jus there ... there when I feel alone to give me company and give me something to get lost into.
At work it's my fireman. I feel empowered with a 10 min research on any subject. My work and its challenges evolve everyday. Google just has the right leads connecting me to insane web of information that jus gets me so excited, that I get lost in my research. But then leads me to some of the best insights.
Gosh! What would I do without you Google !!! You seem to be the Florence Nightingle for the millennial mindset searching for answers every minute. We all know as much we know, but you somehow connect us all, taking information from all and sharing it with all. It's fun googling at odd hours of night and when someone asks me anything I jus google :) makes me feel so cool !!!
Thank you for being a great friend !!!
