| New look arrival lounge Bangalore Airport |
A few days ago, I met some friends at the
airport. Meeting me after a long time, one of them teased me. “Where is your
camera? We get to see you posting on social media immediately wherever you go!”
I was in a hurry at that time and also this
is a question I hear often.
During my childhood days, it was a routine
for us children to go for sight seeing trips to distant towns in the southern
states of India. Most of these trips were directed at pilgrimage centres and
historic places of importance.
A family of my father’s friend and my
family were part of the tour party most of the time. Nine passengers in a good
old Ambassador car, which my father still maintains in a good condition!
It used to give us exposure to different
places, culture, food and tradition. It went on till we children grew up and
parted ways due to our own business or work.
Now my parents are old and cannot travel
easily. Adding to their problems is poor eyesight. I realised the solution was
to install a computer at home, provide them a Facebook ID and teach them the
basics. Since then, it has become a routine for my parents to see the world
through me.
Thus, there are some silent well-wishers
out there who regularly read my posts.
It is the same way, I get to see and travel
around many parts of the world through some good friends who share the world
and news through their clicks and posts.
