Being Junz

I thought a lot about starting a blog. There were few encouragements from very dear people to start writing again. But as the cliched line goes 'Everything has its time' I decided to start today. And this is my first post . Writing used to be easy years ago. But the 'today's worlds comforts have forced most of us to take exile from this habit. Writing have given way to texting, which has rsultd in in dis knd of prblms to most ppl. Little do they realise that its a problem. Like I spelled realized instead of realised. Queens English is overtaken by txt English. I don't realise that i am making myself a machine. We relay on technologies a lot and this has become a over dependence and very soon (or already) will become slavery. If MS office has some bugs, my emails will go out with errors. But i wouldnt realise that i made several typos (or rather typographical errors). I was watching this funny movie Grown ups and a scene where the boys were texting their nanny for hot chocolate made me realise that, vocal conversational skills are on its decline. its much easier to comment on a picture or write on someones wall. You have the mask provided by the technology. Technology has built several safe cabins for us and we dont need to be worried about the frowning face of the other guy. An emoticon is all you need to express your feeling easily. Instead of telling someone that ' I am really happy for you' a smily will do.
Well all i wanted to convey was, preserve the old habits (I should rather have said, sustain the good old habits or rather the old good habits)
