I used to travel to office by bus. It is hardly 10min Bus
journey from my apartment. I have also
walked few times from office to my apartment on a day when weather is nice and
you have good company. It’s always a fun
activity to do when you are wearing sports shoes. Office Gossip, friendly talk and laughter, do
not let you know the distance and soon you will walking over the bridge. It’s
such a nice view. You will love to stay here and feel the breeze in the
evening. You can see the Cable Car from hear which goes to Big Buddha. After
couple of minutes, you will be walking near to sea shore. It is occupied by so
many trees. People love to walk, run and do the cycling on this course of path.
You will always see few people running and you cannot resist trying sometimes
by yourselves. Here people love to run
and play the badminton.
In lunch time, which is usually starts from 11AM and go till
3PM (Food will be available in this hour in cafeteria). You can choose your
best suitable 1 hour for run/gym/sports and have food. But most of us, used to
have food and do the walk or rest in remaining time. Have some chat and laugh.
This is what I used to see every day and feel good about
this. But as it is said, you cannot have all good things only at any place.
There is something which does not feel good about here is people addiction for
Mobile, Mobile Game and so many things which forces you away from society and
do not let you develop those skills which require to live with social animals.
Morning, 8:45, I usually start for office. I entered into
elevator and saw few Young people are playing with mobile. Usually its face
book, what’s up or some type of messenger where they are chatting. I reached at
Ground Floor and started walking towards Bus Stop. I saw bunch of people young
and adult, using mobile for their call, text etc. I reached to Bus stop and I stand
into queue. It’s really nice weather and
stop is surrounded by greenery. No one is giving attention to this beautiful
natural creature. Bus arrived and everybody
paid using OCTOPUS. OCTOPUS is really fantastic thing which has been introduced
in Hong Kong and some other places as well. You do not need to carry the change
or Bulk Money in your pocket. Bus, Grocery Store, Airport and even Taxi, accept
this card which is easily available at any MTR station.
Bus is occupied by every inch. This is office hour and you
can see the long queue at Bus stop very easily around 6PM. You will hardly see
people talking or doing anything else except mobile, especially if you are
seating at top of the Bus – these buses are double Decker. So what they are doing exactly, most of the
people are playing game. OOOH.. Day in and Day out… what are they doing -
Playing game. And most of the time. - Same game again and again and again….
Hong Kong is full of Trekking Trail, Cycling Route, Mountain
and obviously surrounded by Sea. This is a beautiful place to appreciate the
natural beauty. (Year 2 Year For Sure) Each and Every day, you cannot resist to talk
about weather, clouds and mountain. Few areas are specially gifted for their
positive vibes. You can seat at any place and appreciate the life and the
journey to build those places.

Wonderful insight over where we spend our time. If not all a majority of the people are glued to their phones or other gadgets. I do that too but I have an equal affection for the nature. Those orange clouds at sunset, that full moon in a clear sky, that wonderful sunrise... as you said there is so much to appreciate. Wonderful writing...
I'm not surprised.Chinese people are like us only. You know, this evil mobile addiction is an integral part of corporate culture everywhere in the world. Office-goers are like that only, be it Mumbai,New York or Bejing.They make good use of commutation time to office
It is sad to realize that day -by-day we are turning into humanoids/robots. I fail to understand that how mobile games can be so addictive. But, the fact is that China is a superpower in the arena of sports.So, Chinese must be fond of playing indoor/outdoor games. Isn't it ?
Nice to know that you still retain a boyish curiosity about all of nautre's gift.
You are becoming good...being a refined writer..congratulations..
Keep it up dost.
Thank You Binay and Dilip for quick response. It always matters.
Honestly, i was thinking about this from last few days and observed this in my daily routine as well. It might be possible that we are hurting ourselves unknowingly. As it is said -
Science is A Good Servant but A Bad Master.
