With the continuous
progress and modernization of the society, everything around us seems to be
becoming artificial. Unlike a decade ago friendship or relationship has got different
shape altogether. Few years back when
relationship was only bound within text message and a few phone calls nowadays technology
made it so accessible to us that couples barely feel the urge to see each
other. As video calls, whatsapp, face book etc. have played a very vital role
in connecting people and bridge the gap of distance through technology.
But on the counterpart this
technological progress halted the true emotion in a relationship in twentieth century.
Many websites and mobile apps have been introduced through which the young
generation are trying to come into contact and sustain a stable relationship.
It has kind of become a fashion rather a must- have- element for the young
generations to have a partner in this era. I sometimes feel very happy seeing
couples travelling on bikes especially on the celebrations like Durga puja when
they seem to be full of boundless joy and on the edge of exploring the world. However,
often their overwhelmed attitude leads them to trouble as we can often hear
about bike accidents taking place and loose of young lives in those accidents.
Such incidents are always painful and unbearably for parents and relatives of the
victims.
While taking about
relationship I must mention a few things and one of them is the tendency of our
generation to express themselves beyond the real life hero and to be very
honest even thou I belong to this generation but somehow can’t accept the
mentality of being into a relationship the way I can often see on social
medias.
One of my recent experiences where I have seen
an educated and well-established girl to open-up about her marital life
problems on face book and the most awkward thing
was I knew that girl pretty well. I could never imagine in my wildest dream
that a well-educated person like her can act so silly at times. The funniest matter
is that few days later when I again came across her post on face book, understood
that things have settled down in her life now and surprisingly. The entire matter of her, from being into the
worst convert into the best state of life went on less than a week. Hence it
pretty much clarifies about the immaturity of the young generation who can’t
even hold their emotion for a week and exposed every problem very nakedly which
I believe could have been easily managed, given some time.
I was also quite shocked
seeing the entire exaggerating incident where her first ironical post on face
book where she narrated about the tragedy of her life, her friends seemed to be
very worried and showed their concern to the fullest. On the other hand her
last post astonished me, because the
concern of her so-called feminist friends, who I believe without even knowing the
exact scenario started to show-off their intellectuality in her first post,
hadn’t even made the least effort to encourage her. Thus it really raised a
question in my mind that such so called feminist people of our society do
really want to fight for the exact purpose or it is just like an option to them
to show themselves off on several social medias?
As I have mentioned above
that although I am quite young and very much aware about the digital generation
but can’t quite gel-well with the modern way of being into relationship through
the help of several social medias. A couple of days back while travelling in a
cab I was listing to a program on FM. The RJ of that show was famous producer
of Bolloywood Karan Johar and the topic was about digital relationship, where
people were expressing their views and experience about how things are changing
with time. One of the callers on the program who was asking the host if there is
any possibility of his teacher to be there on a social site and any possibility
for him to date her. Sorry, but ‘I don’t actually remember the site name he mentioned’
but the reaction of karan was really funny when he heard that the guy fell for
his teacher. Nonetheless just before wrapping up the program karan also expressed
his concern about the digital relationship for which our next generation might
be affected as the vibe of love or emotion is somehow detached in the
relationship and people tend to consider break-up as a regular matter of their
life. Thus the affection or true magnitude of concern in family won’t be the
same as we can in our families nowadays.
