Relations through virtue of Virtual World

When there was no Mobile or "digital"connectivity in 80s,we used to spend time in listening BBC, Vividhbharti ( not FM) on Radio &  make 'Pen friends" by writing impressive letters. Inlands,Post cards used to be in good demand for participating in such Radio programmes and getting connected to friends,relatives ( even foe). I remember how we used to practice for a very good "Handwriting" & oeuvre of sentences in English or Hindi to impress upon "Pen friends". Scenario completely changed with the advent of Handphone or mobile & origination of IT era. I wonder,if Inland letters, Post Cards of Post Offices are still in demand. But,there is upsurge of fastest mode of connectivity & communication through social networking sites like Facebook,Orkut, Skype, Linkedin & so on.

The amaging "Virtual" world made it possible to have linkages of all personal ,professional relations & emotions in few "clicks" of keypads & we all feel alike sitting across "next door". Many a college/school friends are "explorable" & we get connected through them through a clack on a keyboard. Complementing & consoling, sharing joy & sorrow of  each other are great facets of "virtual" connectivity. Positive attributes of Social Networking sites are definitely emerging as key for consolidating or reviving the lost  alliance or association in the competitive & fast paced life (in "aapa dhapi").

Surely,nuance of the thought is " Virtual World" helped us in maintaining our Real World or relations as  'Live" & "Happy-go -Lucky".
