It is a short but an indelible story. It was such a pleasant morning when it happened. In a few days, the “cultural event of the year” was about to happen and I was a member  of its hosting committee. So we as a group were selling tickets all over our college campus. We met so many different students. There was this one guy with such a friendly demeanour. We approached him to give the tickets and asked to join us. He just simply smiled and walked away giving the answer which changed the way I thought  of life.

Then these thoughts came, What’s the point in living in this world, if we are not ready to connect with people? People need to talk to another person, even if it’s small talk.  It prevents them from growing darker and colder. They are  avoiding  conversations because they  feel it's time wasted . But it's the quiet opposite, conversation will start the connectivity between humans.

In this modern era where we get everything in a snap, we are forgetting what's  valuable and precious. We can order our desired food whenever we want. If we think about things like these, almost we get everything in a minute. It eventually makes us more bored and we don't get the value of those things.

But there are certain things in life which we can’t buy or take in a minute. Those are the things that make us human. We can't get it so easily , we need to put some work and commitment into it. Only then our lives get meaningful , it's not the successful career that makes a human great, it's their character,  socialising skills and the way they adapt to their society. By socialising and connecting , a bond is created. And it's the most “valuable” thing in this world. A person must be defined by the things that they love , not by the things they hate or afraid of.

 When the guy said “Even though I am  willing to come, I don't have friends.” It really hits me hard. It was not only him , but more than half of the individuals we approached had the same answer. Whatever the reason , we must never make another person feel lonely , because its outcome will only be  more negative. So let's all try to connect with others and will put our efforts to sustain it. The only valuable thing which comes from hard work and selflessness is the bond with others. Not all bonds will stay strong but it makes us stronger.
