Life goes on outside the MBA zone, and those in it are caught in their own world. Thanks to technology, we are still connected. in fact my world has shifted from the 5 elements of Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Space to the five elements of Emails, Websites, Adobe, Facebook, and Save. I can vouch to say that my world revolves around them.
When my niece was born two days ago on 7th Dec, I got the news, saw her pics and heard her voice over Email. I searched Websites looking for recipes to make an apple pie in celebration, giving the event an international twist. these webpages were fighting for memory space with several Adobe pdf documents spelling out Financial Accounting and Decision Analysis. then i posted the news with pics of the apple pie on Facebook. And now I am saving her pics all over, and in my mindspace.
You name the analogy and I can fit it into these new 5 elements of my conscious. and my world is crazier with the inclusion of internet on mobile. When is the next bus coming to my stop? Who got crazy on facebook? What does the S&P500 index read today? How do i get to blah blah metro station? What is the temperature today? all at the click of a button.
In the past two days, I have also experienced revelations online. yes very soulful revelations. How human relationships are stretching across the globe, at any time there are more than 1 country locations flashing gtalk window, and more and more of us are touching foreign waters. Family, friends, known, unknown all merging onto one fabric of communication. And then you start encountering truth, that people may have been shy talking face to face, but feel comfortable mailing or chatting about. or simply posting on social networks or blogs.
And its not just fun, its serious business. from banking to blogging, I don't want to start writing the 5th grade student's essay on the utilities of the internet. But i do want to take this moment, to stand back and see the revolution i have been a part of, and am racing along to keep pace with. the internet revolution, the one that puts your body, mind and soul in the virtual world.
so step back, take it in, and then go on, keep running!
