Be a real good neighbor for a day!

One of the great mysteries of this retro goes metro world is the surge in enveloping vintage expressions and opening our eyes to the Newfoundland of universal neighborhood. Just mention childhood and we will find ourselves harken those warm sighs of the slightly ripped, yet perfectly original pictures in black and white albums of kith and kin, of long love dried out yet tasty and sumptuous even today. And now mention adulthood, what you see is a total metamorphosis of all past expressions, of hours of free laughter to enveloping expressions, put on faces. Sometimes I feel we are all engaged in a street life masquerade, good outside, yet rotten and dead inside. As the world is on the verge of a population explosion and we check the status of the globe by just one click, don’t you thing in all that we have lost touch with the real us? Everyday as we update the minuscule details of our small life on the internet aren’t we just getting a little polluted in our head in the process. Since the time we have gained global citizenship and have started caring more about our virtual friends in Geneva or Iceland, we seem to have no clue about our next door neighbors. As Twitter have taken over phone calls and Facebook and Orkut are our letter writing pads don’t you just crave at times for a little peek a boo game with the days gone by. A little nostalgia is good for the heart, but in the fast paced life and moral rat race that we see everyday can we really afford the time to be nostalgic, can we really let ourselves shed our put on SMS lingo and write a letter in normal language? Or can we just stop our internet cooldom and be just us on one fine day? Life isn’t actually a fairytale, so I think is it time to shutdown those laptops for a while and taste the real flavor of the versatile city we love so much and drown into the forbidden world of pure joy. Write a letter to a dear friend, talk to your neighbors, take your dog out for a walk and show a gesture of genuine goodwill. Be a Good Samaritan in the real world, and bid adieu to the virtual world for a day, for just one fine day. Be a good fellow citizen in your real world and you would see how your virtual life improves. Take the risk, and say "Hello Kolkata" one day.
