Within next few years, the use of technology and mobile device will grow significantly

stronger and more diversified. It's not the technology or mobile devices that creating gaps
but mindset towards the use of technology. Every alternate is busy with tab or phone to
interact with each other. Nobody has time to speak and spend. The generation is changing
rapidly and they have now different beliefs for the relationship. They believe in chatting
rather than speaking to someone. We are moving to a new technology age where the
relationship is just a new network subscription.
A failure to tackle this situation may lead to a different definition of relationship. No one can
define the values and beliefs to a wider group of people. Values are very personal and vary
with the person. The values are often held with great conviction, including beliefs about how
to behave others. We belief but we don't practice. We practice but don't believe. We believe
and practice but don't understand the underneath message. Sometimes we don't do
anything and rejects everything. We don't look to our inner soul. We are from the panini
generation and we are stressed with every situation. This a high time to take a selfie of
inner soul to understand the real mean of life.
People within any religion or country are not homogeneous, even though they may believe
in certain principles which are common. We live in a current society where everyone must
gain something out of bond or relationship. We are grown up in an era where things are
changing rapidly. We have less patience in comparison to our older generation to listen and
to adjust with the situation.
I can probably remember the days when my mother uses to work as a nurse for a small
government hospital in a village which is 22 km away from my small town. Every day she
uses to travel by local bus to reach to that small hospital. It was extremely difficult to get a
seat in the local bus and almost traveled her half of life standing in local buses. Every day
was struggle to keep that area out of diarrhea and polio free. The health condition was
pathetic in villages at that time and the major challenge was polio. She worked hard day
and night to feed polio vaccine to all new born infants. Village people use to call her Didi
(Sister) and she was favorite to everyone. There was no local commutation to visit the
villages and the only way to travel was walking from main road bus stop. Sometimes village
people help with their cycle to visit nearby villages. Everybody use to care my mother like
daughter and they consider her as part of their family. After so many years of service in the
village area, she transferred to the district hospital in town.
There was an old poor man in one of those villages who considers my mother as his
daughter. We have one ceremony in India when father visits daughter's house and gift some
clothes and sweets. Every year that old man used to visit and gift to my mother. Once there
was a bus strike on that day of ceremony and we were not expecting his visit on that day.
There was no mobile connection at that time and land line phone was not affordable to
lower middle-class family. In fact, there was no phone connection in villages. At noon, we
were preparing ourselves for lunch and surprised to see him standing at the door. He was
with his granddaughter of age 12 and walked all the way to fulfill his commitment for sworn
daughter (No blood relation but considered as relative in India), which has been a great
lesson for me to witness. An old man who walked 22 km in summer to fulfill his
commitment deserves a great respect and honor. He might be an ordinary man but with
extraordinary values and beliefs.
Its necessity of time to instill good values in us to respect others. The character and motives
will be self-centric if we don't understand our responsibilities. Inner peace comes from

within not from outside and understanding responsibilities and duties will help to gain
freedom from disturbances. The taste and situation are in our mind and can be joyful
through caring and patience. Relationship and love come in different forms and is of
different in nature. Sometimes it is unconditional and sometimes it's conditional. A selfie to
inner soul may create an understanding that It's a privilege to be able to give even a little
bit to those who spent their life to bring the smile on our face.
