I was there, observing each person — their emotional breakdowns, whether due to personal loss, professional setbacks, or even political circumstances.

And I realized one thing: what was all of this really about?

Connections.

Met someone online — Twitter, Instagram, a dating app.
You talk in DMs, go on a date. Sometimes the vibe clicks, sometimes it doesn’t.
For one person, it’s just a temporary connection; for the other, it feels long-term.
People call it commitment — I still call it a connection.

What about connections with our relatives, parents, or family? Temporary?
Well, NO. And I think they shouldn’t be — unless you’ve got personal issues.

Some people love their gadgets, books, bikes, etc. So do I.
I love being around computers, reading, and writing — which I’m doing right now.
You call it materialistic; I still call it a connection.

Connection with a stranger — is it really a connection?
Well, let me tell you: sometimes the strongest bonds are formed between two people who don’t know each other at all. That’s why stranger meetups are so popular in Bangalore.

Politics, ugh!!
People don’t vote for leaders.
They vote for the stories they feel connected to.

Hey, you!

You, the reader — are we already a connection, or could we be one?
