In this 21st century mobile phones have become an integral part of our lives. Who don’t use mobiles?! You can see mobile in hands of every age group of people! from age group of 6 years old kids to 80 years old adults, and if we talk about mobiles applications there are thousands of them, if I am not exaggerating we can also say there are lakhs of mobile applications released to market every year, as per my knowledge one of most used application by every age group people is “the WhatsApp!!”, even though people who designed it, have designed it for easy communication but people who are using it have found out more extensive uses of it, if people( especially WhatsApp users) want to invite for any occasions like marriage, birthday parties or any big, small occasions send an invitation in whatsapp and their work is done, and in rear cases even after receiving invitation in whatsapp  we might get inviting call on our mobile also. In this so called “busy life” nobody has time to go to anybody’s house and invite for occasions!! And if anybody doesn’t know how to use whatsApp or any other social media then they will be seen as some strange human beings on earth and they will be automatically added to the list of “internet-illiterate”.

During these days even if somebody dies then that kind of messages will also be sent to our mobiles. Even though it is good in some ways, like in that kind of saddening situations nobody can call and tell to each and everyone, but we have also faced bad side of it, once we received a message on my father’s mobile from an unknown number, which was a death news of one our relatives! We all were in a total shock, because the day before only that person came to our house and we all had spent a good time with him. Also he was healthiest person we have ever seen. So my father decided to call that unknown number before coming to any conclusion by our selves. He was about to call to that unknown number, but at the same time he was getting call from the person about whom we have received, his death news!! We were all scared like are we getting a call from a dead person??!! But my father decided to receive the call and find out the real situation. My father explained everything to our relative, later he started laughing! And told us “Don’t worry about me, I am completely fit and fine”, we might have received a wrong message; later my father apologized to him and wished him a long, healthy life and we all felt relieved. Very next thing my father did is, he called to that unknown number, finally we came to know that instead sending message to someone else, he (Unknown person) sent to us. But coincidence was that only both of our relative’s names were alike. Since he had mistyped mobile number, all these misunderstandings have happened in a few minutes of time on that day. At the end he also apologized for sending that message. So sometimes it is better to double check the number before sending these kinds of messages in order to avoid this kind of inconvenience. And in some other kind of situations it is better to meet up in person rather than trying to connect (invite) to people only through mobiles and social media. These mobiles and social media help only in establishing network connection between people, those thing don’t have any feelings or relationship.
