Handicap

“Ya. You can come today, anytime.” On mobile, a young entrepreneur said to a staff member of Internet Company. While putting the phone down, his other hand gave the thumbs up. The young guy was starting a new venture at Gurgaon and wanted some Vastu help from me.

He told me, “You know Chandrika, we were handicap without any internet connection.”

Do you agree or disagree with the statement?

  7. Yes, absolutely. There is "before" and "after". After the arrive of the internet one has to take part and is severely in disadvantage without. But there is a "before" too - and still is: Some areas of the world are not connected. Looking at a visitor map of my blog there is no Africa and no Russia, but all other parts of the world.

  17. Chandrika,

    Read pending 4 posts now. Drink party lasting half an hour, who was he kidding? That was the only way to get him down and he should have been locked up in lunatic asylum. I am sure Cuckoo survived. Internet does help but it is not the end of the world. I have something on this which I will put up in my space a s a p.

    Take care

  23. People have survived and businesses have thrived without the internet in the past. But today with every other book and work getting digitized, people feel handicapped without the internet. Also, the internet is "the" fastest way to reach out to a worldwide audience in a matter of second/minutes. Perhaps, he is "right" when he said that they felt handicapped without the internet connection. Also, the sheer fact that he mentioned it shows us how relieved he felt after they got it!
