Identity

Yesterday I was talking to my bestest friend over phone, and we discussed many things as usual, apart from some senti-stuff, but a post on YM -topic was particularly where we stopped. We might like the ease of the 'chat without facing', but there is one more aspect to it as well: identity hiding.

Today, whether I am in India or Nepal or wherever, know one can know unless I tell that person. I could be sitting in Mumbai holding hands with my love, and chatting with people claiming to be elsewhere.

Sigh, technology is such a double-edged sword. And it sheaths so many identities as well - does anyone know really know the real 'B'asis of a 'K'arismatic girl's life!

I agree that it is not always identity hiding. At times you may not want to disclose the same information to everyone. In other words, you would like to disclose selectively. For eg the things you share with your best friend you would not like to share even with your brother / sister. Maybe at times only a listening ear is required, an unbiased opinion without knowing the identity. At times one is more comfortable talking to someone unknown on certing issues than someone who knows you through and through... don't you think so?
