🧠Go in search of great stories | #03
Great stories are everywhere. You just need to go in search of them ðŸ§
It had been 3-4 days that I had come to Delhi. I was staying in a guest house. One day, after dinner, I went for a walk. While walking, I met a staff of the guest house and we had a talk. He told me about his village, people of his village, crops, etc and he had lots of stories to tell. I learnt a lot from him.
Then I realized that the internet has taken over our minds and we are too engrossed in it. We have started losing deep connections with people and started sitting in front of the screens a lot. Instead, what should we do, we should keep our phones aside and go meet people and talk to them. Listen to them carefully. Listening is very underrated in today's world. Video calling will work to a certain extent, but meeting people physically has its own amazing vibes. You can have more conversations without your eyes getting strained 🤪
Here's a photo of me with Ronit Ghaiya. I met him on Twitter for the first time. Coincidently he lived in Pune. So before coming to Delhi, I told him that we should meet before I leave Pune. So, we met at Vetal Hill and we hiked for 1 hour and had an amazing time. I also cycled 19 km (home-hill-home). So, take a little effort and meet your dear friends. It’s fun. I also met other friends in Pune before shifting to Delhi.
