    How many of you aware about your neighbors

    In those days there has been no deviation in the neighborhood living. Every body offered their helps for any good and bad of any one house in that area.
    That too during any marriage function in those days, they solemnized their house marriages or functions in house only. For this all house members in that row came to help them for every step in that function including cooking, preparing sweets etc., and all the days all house members are unitedly did the function as their own house function.
    Besides this many people gave their house keys to the neighbors after locking when going out either for short time or long time.
    But to the contrary, now nobody knows their neighbors and they shrink themselves in the name of privacy or 'no time'. In many apartments very few know each other.
    We during the train or bus journey, we exchange our mobile numbers or address details in order to please others though we forget them as soon as alight from the bus or train.
    Almost all of us do not have a good communication contact with our neighbors and even have their contact numbers even for emergency.

    I stay in Hyderabad. Our colony is a well-developed colony and I am in touch with all my neighbours. On one side a retired lecturer recently expired. His wife with her daughter's family is staying presently. They are good and no-nonsense people. Other side one Industrialist. A very nice gentleman. We used to go for a morning walk earlier. But not now. On the other two sides, we have roads only. But I know almost all the families staying on our road. All except one family are good. I have no problems with any of them.
    I have the contact numbers of the people staying on that road and I will be calling them if there is any requirement. Probably, in very posh localities, people may not be bothered about neighbours. It is always good to maintain good relations with neighbours and it is always better to extend help to them if they require it.

    There have been big changes in this respect in the society and today the modern pattern is such that most of the people do not have any contact or relation with their neighbours. This might be the result of too much personal freedom in the modern world but it is against the principles of cordial and harmonious living. In case of any problem the first person to help will be the neighbours only and if we don't keep contact with them then it is a very bad situation.

    While it is true that modern society has brought about a lot of technological advancements and conveniences, it has also created some social challenges, including the issue of distance between people. With the rise of social media and digital communication, it may seem like we are more connected than ever, but in reality, these technologies can often create a false sense of connection.
    Many people today spend more time communicating through screens than in face-to-face interactions, which can lead to a sense of isolation and disconnection from others. Additionally, the fast-paced nature of modern life means that people often have less time to devote to cultivating relationships and building strong social networks.
    However, it's important to note that this doesn't have to be the case. We can make a conscious effort to connect with others in meaningful ways, both online and offline. This might involve joining social groups or clubs, volunteering in our communities, or simply taking the time to have deeper conversations with the people in our lives.

    By prioritizing genuine human connections over superficial interactions, we can build stronger, more fulfilling relationships and combat the sense of distance that can sometimes pervade modern society.
    It is said,the people who is near to us are more important than those who are far away.

    Service to mankind is service to God.

    The posting raised by the author is very apt in the present time since people feel themselves fatigued with the present assignments having no time to interact with their neighbours. At least the weekend provides them some sort of relief from their monotonous assignments. But then there are pending jobs to be attended to on that day.
    To sum up, most of us have very less contact with our neighbours. In that sense, I am lucky to have my residence in a steel city with the less concentration of people in different sectors providing us ample opportunities to interact with them. In all the sectors, around 50% people are retired and so timing is not the problem to meet them personally with the pre intimation. Such meetings are quite friendly and refreshing.
