WeChat is one of the hottest topics of
discussion amongst the gadget geeks and the mobile freaks of today. This
chatting application, which can be downloaded for free (using
this link),
offers users the congenial speed and convenience to talk to anyone and
everyone!
Often, we lose ourselves in life and forget
to socialize.
Remember these words of a great man:
“Don’t
let a person walk so far away that he walks too far away. Talk everyday”
~Ritesh Agarwal
Coming to me, if I could add only 5 people
in my WeChat group, then these are the ones I would have added:
i.
Albus Dumbledore: Albus
Dumbledore, one of the central characters of Harry Potter series of books, is
an incredibly sharp person of farsightedness, wisdom, knowledge and a knack for
wit. Even though, Dumbledore is a fictional character, I am under awe of him.
Question I would like to ask him: “Sir, you on WeChat?? Is it real, or is it just happening inside
my head?” :O
ii.
Albert Einstein: During my
childhood, I always rooted for Isaac Newton (coz I was in love with his frothy hair
style). But after flipping through Einstein’s biography and having learnt of
his philanthropic nature, I have given the crown of “my favorite scientist” to
this eccentric man with that toothbrush moustache. Again, he is one of those
men whom you can talk for hours and days and years, without getting bored. It
would be great to talk to him through WeChat.
Question I would like to ask him: “Sir, will you please teach me how to play the violin?”
iii.
Edgar Allan Poe: If there was
no Edgar Allan Poe, then there would have been no Arthur Conan Doyle (since
Doyle was inspired by Poe) and if there was no Doyle, then there would have
been no Agatha Christie (since Christie was inspired from Doyle). So, one can
say that Poe was indirectly the originator of Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple and
Hercule Poirot. Besides, Poe is easily the best writer of horror stories I have
ever come across. I would like to have him on my WeChat group.
Question I would like to ask him: “Edgar Sir, can you please go through my horror stories (published
on this blog) and tell me if they are good enough? Your feedback and
suggestions would be very valuable.”
iv.
My parents: It may seem ironic,
even unfortunate, but we often communicate the least with those who are the
closest to us, in terms of geography. I often do not speak to my parents
throughout the day, despite being present around them. Maybe, WeChat would
bridge this distance. One can hope, one can pray!
Question I would like to ask them: “How are you ma, how are you pa”
v.
Myself: I often ruminate about
my present prosaic life and wonder if I spend enough time with myself. In this
grueling life, one has little time for himself. But reflection and introspection
are extremely important. So, it would be nice to communicate with self, even if
it is through some tech app like WeChat.
Questions I would like to ask myself: “Are you happy dear? When are you going to get a dog, you promised
me a long time back? And you still haven’t got published. Will you ever take
your story-writing seriously?”
So, this goes out to all the readers. Please download
WeChat app from here and start socializing. You can learn more about it by
checking out its catchy YouTube trailer, here.
