Valentine day is about lost relations but from Sanpada, denying the fact that it has changed our ability to communicate on great day for lovers to it is a day to renew old Navi Mumbai many levels. Communication is becoming a lost art and it is failing miserably at the hands of our children. Social media has many advantages, but there are plenty of draw- backs as well. I believe that many people in our world use Face- book and Twitter as a hiding space. Sitting behind the screen of a computer or phone gives people the courage to say what they want without a filter or compassion. Our emotional intelligence is getting lost in translation and we are slowly losing the ability to be honest with each other and work through difficult conversations; to take a moment and sit with a situation, even when it feels uncomfortable, and move toward communication to solve the problem. Set some family phone rules. Start with some simple limitations, such as only using Facebook on the weekend or certain times throughout the day. Respond to all texts or emails periodically throughout the day (three times, say). Ask that no phones be on the dinner table or when you are out to eat. Enjoying the gifts that come with technology is important, but moving forward into a new age with balance is even more impor- tant. Maybe the biggest cost we’ve encountered already is the Navi Mumbai: A garment shop at Nerul LP MIDC on Tuesday morning caught fire. Upon harm to human relationships.
