Welcome to Ashish Pal 's World

The vir­tual (inter­net) world has always loved the night life. It flour­ished dur­ing the night time. Once the sun had set in peo­ple would come out of their real world, let go all the prob­lems and would don a new avatar. They would than immersed them­selves in their own lit­tle vir­tual world where in peo­ple met other peo­ple, dis­cussed about what hap­pened, what’s new, they laughed, they cried, romanced .. had a great time in short. In this world they were a com­pletely dif­fer­ent per­son­al­ity it didn’t mat­ter what they were in real life but in here they could be any­thing even a super­man. Any dream of theirs could come true in this vir­tual world.

This trend started off with the first vir­tual envi­ron­ment which were cre­ated by chat rooms (remem­ber yahoo chats) peo­ple used to stay awake late night just to meet dif­fer­ent peo­ple, chat­ted, flirted, played, watched (video chats) with oth­ers for hours some­times till the dawn just to real­ize that they had to go back into their real world. Many friends were made, many took it to the next level some got mar­ried where as some broke out. This was a new world which every­one liked.  No doubt that good looks was still help­ful but here again the other impor­tant fac­tor was they way to con­versed. Here in this new world more than looks for the first time good con­vers­ing was the new charm.

This chat world after few years evolved to a new world of social net­work­ing web­sites like Face­book, MySpace, Orkut and the whole gamut of it. In this peo­ple didn’t had to be online to chat or remain in con­tact with other peo­ple. They could con­nect with their friend by leave mes­sage, share pho­tos, their updates.. etc. These web­sites also gave them a com­mon plat­form to start up their group activ­ity at any­time they want. This change had made the world once place which didn’t had to be bogged down by the dif­fer­ent time zone.

Sim­i­larly with the social net­work­ing web­site blog also became pop­u­lar. Blo­gos­phere pro­vided a medium for peo­ple to not only pen down their thoughts online but to start shar­ing it, get feed­back on it and start inter­act­ing.  Before this thoughts were a part of an old diary kept tucked beneath the bed or in the closet.

But still here in this of social net­work­ing and blogs the night time was the best as peo­ple would return back home after office hours\school\college\finish off their daily chores loosen up and than start check­ing up whats new in their vir­tual world.

Peo­ple say that time changes fast and along with it the peo­ple and the world around it. The vir­tual world had always the first one to embrace the change. The new age of Infor­ma­tion was fast and it was more of a real time. Peo­ple needed infor­ma­tion fast and did not wanted to be bogged down to a place or a time. They wanted to be con­nected to peo­ple at every­time. Now the vir­tual world and real world inter­min­gled. This new vir­tual world was called Twit­ter­sphere. Peo­ple used the 140 char­ac­ter (sim­i­lar to send­ing SMS) to its full use. The 140ism was a new and a quick way to tell peo­ple what you were doing and got to know what oth­ers were doing all the time. This broke all the time & space bar­ri­ers. Peo­ple could tweet from their mobile phone or com­puter from any­where. The whole world was one place one in the same time line.

Even with the advan­tage of being able to tweet at any time from any place peo­ple still loved to tweet at night. One of the stud­ies says the twit­ters tweet mostly after 4:00 PM. Which inci­den­tally coin­cides with the end of the office hours and the start of twi­light. Its the time you can peace­fully devote to your vir­tual world the time and the nec­es­sary atten­tion with out some­one look­ing over your shoulders.

Leav­ing you with this thoughts is a song I like.. till then Jaagte Raho.…
