a missing link

just wondering about the associations.. my world of associations diminishes faster than ever before.
hand written letters and greeting cards are forgotten long before. friends are found lost, again found through the magical powers of internet. No fun in keeping an emotional search for old friends in mind and when you find them back..' Hi Buddy, in which city u r in?. Listen, I got a call from office C Ya bye. " now no mood to keep in touch with anyone. no temples to pray, no movies to watch,[ hey.. tell u a secret, Have got many mountains to climb Yet. :-)] no steps to dance, no songs to sing. I have gone even far from my siblings. don't want to be a part of their 'paribhavangal' again.
Is there anything left to hold on?.... Yes! that is Google! the relation with google is growing faster. anything form acne remedy to Prathaman recipe, ask Google. steps for surya namaskar to route map for satopanth-- it is Google who comes for help. Finger grip rule to Hall effect.. it is google who help. amma says 'Molu, see in guglee (as she pronounces it) when is suryodayam and asthamanam'.And of course, thanks Google, i got my friend back through you. [And to my friend, Promise! shall never poke you again since i am no more wanted, and shall remain a silent onlooker.]
Staying away from internet makes a discomfort-- if we need to search something?? another long term association, unnoticed but strong is growing here. But under the grips of google we loose many things -- the capability to remember, imagine, analyse....

"Mamma when is Dad coming back". "Search in Google, Baby."
