“ Friend’s Request “

It is well known that there is no condition to be associated with DIGITAL FRIENDS. We send the request through Facebook Apps to anyone. Once they accept our request we become their Digital Friends. We meet rarely with them. We can see their faces in photographs, activities, writings, achievements, etc on their Facebook. Putting conditions before accepting the friend’s request seems to be very odd. Well, it could be applied in PHYSICAL FRIENDSHIP only. We watch them from every angle. Whether they are same-minded, cooperative and helpful, get together, jolly character, experts in extra- curricular activities, and keep everything secret. But nothing is needed in DIGITAL FRIENDSHIP except MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING. Ravi sent a Friend’s request to Mr Kamlakant Tripathi. Mr Kamlakant Tripathi had been the Vice-Chancellor of Gorakhpur University. Now he is retired. He mostly devotes his time to writing novels and short stories. On receiving the friend’s request of Mr Ravi, Tripathi wrote a log message on his messenger,---” Respected, I appreciated your request but please go through my blog, short stories, or long articles. Write your reaction to my articles only I woul

d consider accepting your request .”Ravi became surprised to see the message because it is rarely seen in the DIGITAL WORLD. In spite of it, he opened his profile and looked at his articles. They are really amazing but they were very long. It was difficult to go through. If they would have been short articles he could have read them. Finally, Ravi replied in the messenger,---“ Respected, It was my great pleasure that I found you on the Facebook Platform. It is a golden opportunity to be connected with various friends whom we are rarely met. We find the different qualities in PHYSICAL FRIENDSHIP but it is our decision to accept the request of DIGITAL FRIENDS. We only prefer the MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING in DIGITAL FRIENDSHIP. Moreover, the condition is not required in any kind of Friendship. Facebook is not an organization where the interview is to be taken. It is up to you whether you accept or delete it. It is not right to persuade anyone to read your article as it is not a Democratic gesture. Hence I withdraw my request for friendship. With kind Regards, Ravi “ Ravi deleted his friend request and decided to not send FRIEND’S requests without knowing them properly.
