The Social Network

We humans are so called social animals and perhaps that’s why we prefer to socialise ourselves some way or the other. Some people like socialising with the people nearby them or with the people of their interest and that is basically done though frequent interaction sharing thoughts on various issues and asking favour if needed but it doesn’t end here, there are some norms that are meant to be followed by every individual in a particular social network it may be following a common orthodox ideology or making a stand against anyone or anything that does not suit that particular society and most ultimate one is not to get too close or simply boycott other social groups  and those who fail to do so  are exiled  from that group or society now those who remain in that network it is their fundamental responsibility to promote that network and encourage others to join their network which itself is contradictory to their own norm. The social networking is going on from early age as far as anybody could remember. It was done in various ways in different geographical regions. The social network grows in every single street of a country within family within friends within anybody’s reach I mean it’s endless.
Like any other human being I am supposed to get social too but unfortunately I am very bad at socialising and I keep on admitting it with regrets. For me socialising has always been a problem right from my childhood for me. it is something very different for me, with time I strived to learn this art of living but in the process I developed my own parameters for socialising. I still remember how It all started when I was in 1st  standard.  when I preferred to sit with Ashish, who was like totally rejected by all my classmates and made to sit alone in corner bench. I preferred to sit with him instead of Mahesh who was the class monitor and the most decent fair looking guy who could be anybody’s friend. I went to Ashish who was continuously sneezing due to his illness. He told me go back to my friends or else they would stop talking to me but I denied and guess what within few days everybody in the class was friend with Ashish even Mahesh became a good friend with him. It has been years since I have met anyone of them and I don’t know where they are now that was beginning of my social network not so convincing, not so regular and not so easy.
Over a period of 10-15 years, The Time has changed and the way people socialise has changed but still it’s all the same. I am 25 now and I am still learning the art of socialising rather practicing what I prefer. It may go out of the box at times, it may annoy certain people but deep in my heart it is what is right it is what I should be doing. At I times I get irritated with the way other people socialise as long as it does not affect me I am ok with it but when it start affecting my life, my way of living I ask myself what to do and whatever answer I get I am abide to obey that because that is me, my way of living and my way of socialising, it may seem absurd, senseless, illogical or unorthodox to certain people. Whatever it is perhaps it is what I have sent in this world for!

Keep socialising !!
