Technology

 Parag, my brother, is in England for a professional seminar. Ever since his seafaring days as a Merchant Navy Officer, Raju has always loved sending us photos as great memories. Earlier the pic's would reach us either after he posted them at the nearest port or when he came home after that particular voyage. In the anxious nineteen eighties and nineties, we used to wait literally eternally for his letters and calls. Now the wapp messages, the video calls, the Skype or zoom meetings make us feel that the distance has just evaporated, literally withered away.

Lost in this Time Machine, faster than light

Gorge(ous) it is, without any bottom.

Young ever, the teflon Medusa's deadly stare!

Pratima@ Technology now is neither a boon nor a curse. It simply IS, withering us every which way, an enormously giant Catherine wheel!
