| life without the internet: Fareeha |
Imagine life without the internet
Unpublished
Fareeha M.A previous
What a complete disaster! My computer totally crashed when I switched it on this morning. I don't know how it happened. Maybe I shouldn't have added the "when will you die?" application on face book last night. It seemed a bit dodgy to me because according to the date it gave me, I should already be six feet under. Anyway, the computer's gone to be fixed and won't be back until after the weekend .so there goes my weekend as well as .I can't believe this is actually happening to me. It's like a nightmare coming true. I've been cut off from the outside world and am doomed to live in total oblivion for the next couple of days. no searching the websites. How can i prepare my presentations? How can i send my article to roshni? News paper? How can i chit chat with friends and my family??? What on earth am I meant to do without the internet for two whole days?
My parents seem to be quite pleased at the prospect. they belong to the ancient school of thought and believe that life was just perfectly fine before the advent of the mobile phone and the internet. That's so Dark Ages! they deem that face book is a total waste of time and want me socially interact" with my friends in the real life ,.they fail to understand that i do, socially interact" with my friends online, at any given time of the day and its more fun this way as well. Reading my friends, status updates helps me know just exactly what they are thinking and what's going on in their lives. I wonder what's being written on my Face book wall right this very minute. It's all i can think about right now. I usually check my profile at least a couple of thousand times a day to keep up with all that's going on. i ,m sure i have at least a dozen replies from various friends . I wonder if my friend Maria has put up photos of her engagement party yet. She
probably has and would have received a zillion comments already. I, m missing so much stuff that it's not even funny. I m missing daily online dawn where i constantly follow updates, news, my favorite column. Yes i do want to know what government next, move will be. I'm so bored out of my brains right now. There is absolutely nothing to do...nothing! if i go sulking to my mother ,she's just going to tell me to read a book or something equally mundane .or maybe she can take me shopping. but wait, how can I go shopping when i can't check on the net about the latest arrivals? I can't even ensure what kind of winter prints and colors are in these days. I guess I'll drop that idea too. I can't listen to Quranic Tilawat as i forgot to recharge my iPod on the computer last night. I haven't been bored in this year. Thanks to my computer and internet connection, my life has been hip and happening and I never get any chance to be bored to tears. The only thing i
am looking forward to this weekend is for time to pass swiftly with the hope that my computer gets fixed soon so I can get back to my awesome life online.
