..the invisible mode !

It's 11 at night. You just finished your dinner after a hectic day at work. Your laptop is still on the standby mode. You decide to wind up things for the day and doze off but by doing that you feel a little restless. All the while stuck amidst work or people related to work, you feel retarded. You log in to your Gmail account and see a whole bunch of people online. A mixture of people from your high school, your neighbourhood and of course your workplace, some with tacky captions, some interestingly high, some absurdly low, while some with an expressionless red dot before their names. Somehow you don't want others to notice you for various reasons best known to yourself and the interesting part is that no one is actually aware that you are online, because you are invisible !

Why can't life have such an invisible mode? 

Sometimes we wish if we could just hide without actually hiding. Sometimes we just want to watch things happening around without being noticed. Sometimes we wish we didn't exist and could still roam around places checking out what life is without us and have the special power to re-exist the next moment. How exciting it would be to not exist for some period of time in life, to vanish into an invisible mode so that no one knows where you are, what you are upto & whether you really subsist or not.


Organizations would then put up a clause in the offer letter of the so called invisible mode like they do for holidays. Lovers would promise each other that if at all they go invisible they would do  that together, and parents would warn their children not to vanish without permission.

Imagine what a break we would get out of this life which sometimes seems impossible. Living a life other than the original life which has no communication networks, no bugging phone calls, and no disgusting relationships. Just a truly lonesome soul watching everything that is happening in the world just as we normally do, but who would have the power to come back where he had left.

What a life it would be ..if that happened !!
