Mom (sitting on the sofa and showing his son a beautiful piece of cloth she just embroidered): Look son! This is how your grandma taught me to stitch and embroidery different things, I was 14 when I first did this after that most of the bed sheets that I brought with me after wedding were all embroidered by me, look! Isn’t it good? Son?
Son (busy using his cell phone): Ohh mom! When will you come? You said something to me?
Mom (with an embarrass smile returned): No son! You carry on!
Nowadays everyone out in this moving society the so-called developed society has turned out this way. Unethical, Immoral, or Unprincipled in a way or other, but what is more disastrous has come into our view is dishonorable usage of cell phones in public or among your family. I am totally not an anti-cell phone-usage, but with a sight of etiquette usage of the same.
We have seen many people using cell phones with a nature of immorality and most involved is our youth. We try being cool or sophisticated buying a new cell phone or an innovative gadget at the market, but later we forget the ethical and sophisticated usage of it. Whether we are in public or in a family gathering, we go deaf using cell phone and in this way we hurt the feelings of those people who actually were talking to us that time. We complain if one cannot text back or respond to us while texting, but did we ever think of the person’s complaint that did not get our respond while we are texting?
I was a victim of the same disease back days when I started using this gadget and did hurt many people that time, but after realizing I quit using cell phones when someone engaged talking to me and that is just to make someone realize that s/he means to me a bit.
We simply try to start looking upon this escalating mess in our society first by hindering ourselves from it and second instructing others to do so. May be we’ll get some ethical, moral and righteous youth as a result.

The best part about you is your timing Hasan !! I don't know what inspires you to write a blog at the possibly best time but whenever i get time to read it and i see the date it matches with the discussion held at my place. My baba is always drawing my attention towards this issue and i totally agree. Especially in September he discussed it thrice with all three of us. I am not a cello-holic due to which i am really appreciated by my Parents but at the same time friends and others let me down by saying, "When everyone does it, why don't you?" and don't have the best answer to satisfy them. How can i explain them the feelings, the ignorance i have gone through and the experience different people get.

Thanks a lot. I just want people to learn from my experiences before they'll be treated badly and it's good to change yourself before the bad happens. What your point is, I know that twinge of being let down by my friends, but being honest, do whatever you think is right, morally and ethically and for the rest, every question that comes to you doesn't need to be answered because sometimes silence itself is the best answer than answering illogically.
ReplyDeleteYou quoted extremely right.
Thanks again :)
