00:00Communication through text appears safer but is also duller.

00:08It does not carry the warmth and liveliness of a face-to-face thing.

00:12And it can become a habit to hide behind text.

00:17Do not let that become a habit.

00:20That habit simply means fear.

00:22Do not protect fear.

00:23If there is something that cannot be said face-to-face,

00:27ask yourself, does it deserve to be said in writing?

00:32And it's not as if texting necessarily saves time.

00:35You can get into an endless exchange of text messages and that can go on for two hours.

00:42Does that not happen?

00:44Text, text, text, text, text.

00:45And when you are not texting, you are waiting for the other's text.

00:49And WhatsApp is showing Rajiv is typing.

00:54And you are waiting.

00:55What is he typing?

00:56What is he typing?

00:57What is he typing?

01:11This is what he might be writing.

01:12And if he writes this, I will reply this way.

01:17How is that saving time?

01:19Please tell me.

01:19How is he typing?

01:30How is he typing?
