This conversation happened on the train. One man was travelling on a train with his son who had a laptop with the internet. An old couple was sitting next to the man. When the old man saw my son working swiftly on the internet he came closer and watched it keenly with interest.

he elderly gentleman then requested politely,” Son! Can you make a Facebook account for me?

The boy replied, “ Yes why not! And he started working on it.

“Uncle, what name should I put? “

“Put a girl’s name” the old man requested

‘’Oh! But Why? Why not your name?” the kid asked

‘’Please do as I say, I will tell you later why it is so”

“Which picture should I put on the profile?” the kid inquired

“Pick up a picture of a beautiful girl from online and put it there”. The old man continued.

The confused boy with lots of thoughts in his mind managed to complete the profile and said, “Done’’.

The old man smiled painfully and said, “ Thank you, son. Now teach me how to use it. It took a few minutes for the young boy and the old man to exchange the knowledge of using Facebook. When it was done, he gave a name to my son and asked him to add. It was an account of a young man and had some pictures of a beautiful kid and his wife. The old man recognised the account and said, “Yes, add him”.

“Now I will tell you why I made my account on the name of a girl. He is my only son. After he married, he shifted to another city and he does not communicate with us. It has been almost a year and we miss him. His wife does not like us to be in touch with our son. Our son is fond of talking to girls since college days. So at least with this ID and account, I can be in his touch and get updates about his life and family.” The old man thanked and sat quietly for the rest of the journey, looking out of the window of the running train”.
