Hi Dear :) Bye Dear :(
Sharma
The world is such a small place indeed. There is little distance between Hi & Bye. Hi & Bye comes in different hues and shades. Hi can be friendly, warm, loving, exciting, chuckling, cool, cold or dreary. Bye is also of same characteristics add kicking, passive, angry, indifferent, busy and ‘I am glad that I am getting rid of you' feelings to that. This Hi-Bye process is very fast on internet. We meet many new people daily. Some don't respond to us, to some we don't respond. A few lines are exchanged sometimes, if there is not a ‘leaving feeling' then some messages are exchanged and yeh weeks, months or years are also not an exception. I know many contacts here for years, whom I have never met face to face, but it's a good thing that I can know so many people without leaving my beloved chair *laugh* Around 95% contacts made here are lost quickly. I started venturing into wired world some 6 years ago for personal communications and business. Meeting with people is also an interesting use of this media. Chats, messaging, blogging all give us insight into each other. Quickly building and quickly forgotten relations must have an effect on our conscious. Is it same effect which we experience in our real life relations? No, it's not the same. I have a few friends in real life from childhood. Once I had some friction with an old friend and I still think about that. While here on net I have fought some people, even blocked a few and yet I don't think much about that. (All my friends here on net who may chance to read this part should not assume that I am careless, I am talking about things of some years back).
The world looks so little and I know people from around 20 countries or more. A little girl from East Asia told me that I behave and talk like her elder brother, so she calls me ‘kuya' - I was told elder brother is called kuya there. An energetic lady from China with a good family also has same feelings for me. Well I am glad for having virtual extended families here. A guy from my nearby city who has settled in East Asia keeps telling and asking me things. Another lady from Central Asia who married an Indian and due to this I call her ‘bhabhi'(sister-in-law). Her two little girls waves beautifully on cam and talk in childish tongue and strange language which I never understand J . Her father is suffering from cancer now and it worries her a lot. May God bless him with some more peaceful years on this earth. And yes how can I forget about American friend who is all ears to what I say and all mind for giving me solutions, thanks Dear. There are many other contacts which are getting into my virtual family. Happy netting, happy virtual families & also strange hopes and despairs. ‘Hi Dear! How are you?' ‘Bye Dear, I don't know you!!" :))))

You have so many blogs, oh my! :D
I am drawn to this title and another one that I read earlier back. I completely agree with you on this. Lovely way of putting it.
