The internet has revolutionized how we connect. People all over the world are linked with hundreds of friends and acquaintances through social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Face-to-face interactions have become less frequent, and people share their joys and sorrows through status updates on these platforms. I'd like to share a piece of good news about a close friend of mine named Kishu. We were college friends and have stayed in touch through social media. Back in college, we had a group of five friends who would often hang out in the canteen. One day, while we were sitting there, our phones buzzed with notifications. We discovered that Kishu had been placed in a top company in India, a thermal power plant that's the third largest in the world and the largest in India. Kishu was completely unaware of this news. We were all ecstatic and started congratulating him. He was confused and asked why we were staring at him. We broke the good news to him, and he was overjoyed. We asked him to throw a party, but he was a little overwhelmed, wondering how he would manage everything, where he would live, and how his family would adjust. I had interviewed at the company and knew they provided housing in a township, so I reassured him that everything would be taken care of. Once the news sunk in, Kishu was over the moon. He celebrated by treating us all to ice cream. This was a truly heartwarming piece of news that I learned about through social media.
