Newerways

 

  I Wondered if I should embrace technology more, even if it meant joining Facebook, WhatsApp, and all other social platforms which I did. That is when I decided to explore this new world. Soon, a realization dawned upon me that technology was not passive consumption alone but contribution too. We all draw our inspiration from real stories and connect to them. One such inspirational story is that of Neeraj Chopra, an Olympic medallist in javelin who learned his lessons well from YouTube. He used technology to learn and grow. I had my moment when I started to pen my thoughts in Blogger by learning from YouTube. One of my blog posts saw a comment that made me fall off my chair. It was from someone I did not know but who happened to be in the same school as me. My anonymous reader was amazed as she reconnected with the incident that I had quoted. She further wanted to know about our teacher. It was a blast from the past, one step forward for me.

WITH LOVE We had a new member in the family, our brown-eyed bundle of joy. We followed all her activities, the yawn, the stretching, and the turns. My daughter-in-law and son held her in their arms as they moved from room to room and corner to corner. Soon, it was Father’s Day, and the fathers in the family had their share of greetings. The most lovingly sent was for the ‘Cat Dad.’ My son, with an emoticon of cat. “Hey Misty, are you listening? So proud of you.” came from my son.
