Anyway, the past few days have made me aware of technology and how much I love it! I am the last person who can comment on advanced technology for I am far too ignorant... but it is the smallest of advancements that have made the biggest of difference in my life...
25th of Feb was two of my closest friends' birthday. Till last year all of us used to celebrate it together and it was always a bonanza celebration since we used to get a biig treat! But this year we couldnt since JRS was off in the States and Sandy was only here. Celebrations did take place but the feeling of double extravaganza was sorely missed. Also another one of our firends, O, is merrily freaking out in Ozzie land... And he is almost inaccessable..... So it was a very different celebration this year than the last one.
We all went out for dinner the previous night and the next day we reserved it for a chat thru skype with JRS... I didnt expect anything extraordinary as I thought it would be a normal chat, or at the most a voice chat... But then, I was unaware of the wonders of skype!
We started chatting very very late... poor birthday boy had to wait for almost 2 hours! But as soon as we logged on, we started video conference... and my god.. it felt amazing! To see JRS after almost 7 months was such an awesome feeling... and for him too to see all of us together and have rubbish conversations just like we used to when he was here was exhilarating!
When the excitement was just going to die down, another surprise package came in the form of O calling up Sandy.. so we asked him to come online too and we had a group chat! JRS in the US, O, in Australia and all of us out here.... that was the best time we spent that day!
It really felt like we were all in the same place once again to pull each other's leg, to torture each other with bad jokes and to have general 'random ;)' masti!!!
Another really cool takkar with technology happened when I had to stick a picture of me on my hall ticket...I always did want to stick a 'new 2009' pic, and not an old 'burdened with memories' pic, but was afraid I wouldnt be able to do so as me being me, I didnt click one until the last minute.... But when I went to the photo shop, I was out with passport pictures of me in less than 3 minutes.... and there was a brand new me on my hall ticket!
Sometimes the smallest of things makes the biggest of difference.. and this stupid photo clicking was one of those small things...
And no matter how many ppl comment to this post saying these can't even remotely be called 'Tehnological advancements', it still did the job of bringing a smile to me face and thats enough for me to call whatever these are.... amazing!!! :D
