Nowadays all forms of screens TV/cell/ computer/home theatre/ vedio gaming screens divide the neighborhood and not the compound walls.

These are best worst barricades between humans.

Oh so true. I miss neighbours. The funny thing is.. when we move to new campsites, our β€œ neighbours β€œ are tremendous. Greet, advise. Talk. Share places to go. But.. here on subby, I enjoy my β€œneighbours β€œπŸ˜ŠπŸŒΈ

Ahh this was such a lovely read. I totally agree those days of random neighbour chats and friendly smiles feel so rare now. You’ve put it so beautifully, it made me miss that warmth and simplicity

Thank you, Uma. I’m so happy that my words inspired you to write β€” that, to me, is a true blessing. Your decision to expand on the neighbor concept is well deserved and beautifully expressed.

The idea for my piece came from my childhood, watching Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood. I still remember him looking into the camera and asking, β€œWould you be my neighbor?” As kids, we always said yes β€” because in that moment, we felt seen and accepted. Your blog captures that same spirit, reminding us how important it is to make others feel included and valued.
