Mute On


WhatsApp era.

Days of accessible 4G, smartphones plenty.

Accessibility, re-establishing relationships! Long lost friends found!

Invasions of privacy.  Status messages which spoke more than a hello, goodbye.

Single lines, blue lines and double lines!!

Feelings of being ignored, suspicions.

Frustrations!

Infidelity and the late night sweet nothings.

If you had nothing to say, there were images and videos just for the occasion.

Together, we brought in a change in communication. 

We had a lot to say!!

And then there were group chats, bringing more fun, more connections and ease of communication across the globe

It was a game of fastest fingers first!

The ever familiar ping heard across office floors, in buses and trains.

Constant flashing of the messages, buzzing of the phone.

Noisy, some melodious.

Night and day!

The flash of light at night, the urge to read, the last seen time stamp.

Some semblance of privacy when the last seen time stamp could now be deactivated.

The read notification turned off.

More in control.

The biggest blessing being the mute on!!

All group conversations could be muted.

We could sleep again!

Save for the Strangers who thought they were friends and their constant messaging!!

WhatsApp now has gone the Facebook way!

All conversations can be muted, friends can be silenced!

My life on mute!
