Finding chimes with each other

...almost a genetic imperative that we huddle together and hold on to each other...

Jan 2: So last evening's rain made Delhi a bit more cold than the past few days have been. Strolling in the  park during lunch hour at work, came across this family trying to protect themselves and each other from the chill.

Made me think of the way these days we hardly get together in old fashioned, almost primitive ways. We huddle together in buses, metros, traffic, escalators, elevators, social networking sites...the way we now have to find time to do nothing as such, not be in a rush to start from and reach somewhere...

Now I'm too young to have a slower-paced age gone by to lament about. Plus I see nothing wrong with these new, modern technological ways of being together. Things change, ways change. But it would've been nice, I think, to forget wearing the wrist watch one morning and not stress about it (for argument's sake, leave aside the clock in the cell phone!)...

A thousand fibres tie us to each other, so...connect, reconnect- that'll be two of the buzz words for the days my year would unfold.
