Earlier times were quite different. The morning would begin with a beautiful tradition, when all the family members would gather around the same table to have breakfast together. There was a strange kind of joy and peace in that moment. Father would be sitting with the newspaper in his hands and we would all hear about the important news of the day from him. The newspaper vendor would deliver the paper to the door every day and his voice had also become a part of daily life.

In that era not only breakfast but also conversation was very valuable. People listened to each other attentively expressed their thoughts and considered spending time with one another important. The news was simple and bearable and it didn’t have the same intensity or fear that we see today.
But now times have changed a lot. Social media has completely transformed our lives. Now everyone has a mobile in their hand and it has become their entire world. News no longer comes through newspapers but reaches us in moments on mobile screens. But sadly this news is often negative and frightening which puts a burden on a person's mind.
In today’s era those family gatherings have been lost somewhere. Even while living in the same house people have grown distant from each other. Breakfast still happens but everyone is busy on their mobile phones. No one reads the newspaper no one talks to each other. That love that closeness, and that joy of sitting together is now fading away.
We should remember the beauty of the old times and try to bring back that same simplicity and love into our lives. Sometimes we should set the mobile aside and sit with our loved ones have conversations so that those fading gatherings can be revived again. This is real happiness this is real life.
