Though the need for active communication is generally acknowledged, it is surprising how less it is encouraged or implemented beyond the formal lip service. Such is the case not only at international level between two countries or group of countries, or between two communities, but one also sees the phenomenon happening at the individual level. People are getting more and more uncomfortable in any type of company. A new type of mindset is developing that takes solace in itself, and excludes anything and everything that lies outside its little sphere. Streets are empty, and the playgrounds are mostly used for individual sports and exercises. Even while jogging, earphones are plugged into the ears conveying the ‘do-not-disturb’ message, thus restricting any possible attempt of an occasional greeting from a passer-by, and also of making new contacts. The social fabric has completely collapsed. People no longer sit together at tea-shops, reading rooms, parks, in front of radio or TV sets. They prefer to be alone. Yes, they make acquaintances, but out of requirement — ‘who knows, someday we may need them’. This living in isolation, like on an uninhabited island, cut-off from all society or civilization, is a dangerous development.
