I am sure the day is not far when, "U" will be an oxford dictionary word which means "You" and "gr8" is considered and optimized replacement for the word "great" since it needs one to type 2 more letters. The article here describes, how a study UK brought the problem of SMS and Facebook to light. Today we all are busy though we are not doing much, our internet time has increased many a times and reading seems to be something one has to do when he gets a new Email or a SMS.
One need not understand expressions like "Searching something in a Hay stack" or a "As you sow, so you reap". Infact, it is difficult for me to understand how can one live without reading the wonderful books like "The famous Five" or the "Three investigators". I still remember when i would frantically cycle to the nearest library after my UT or unit test, to read the latest issue of "Chacha Chaudary" or "Champak". Looks like the cartoon network and the bevy of other channels, with their tons of poisonous episodes displaying strong emotions like envy, hatred etc although with an good intention...That good wins over the bad; have replaced these weekly or fortnightly magazines. Uncle pai is dead ( May his soul rest in peace!!)...I just wonder how long before Tinkle and Amar chitra katha too vanish in the oblivions of our ever advancing society....
