The rant againt too much connectivity

My submission to the argument against globalisation is simple : it homogenizes too much and takes away the pleasure of being "local, lazy" :) Whatever good it may have done or not, people can argue, but what good is it that makes people wake up at obscene time to do "calls" because someone else in some other time zone is up (and sometimes, not even that). Worse, globalised, connected worlds bring so much standardisation...for instance, in pre-globalisation era, probably in another town, I could have stayed put in the quilt till 9 in the morning everyday because it is so cold, and all offices and shop would shut down by 6 with dusk because nobody gets out in the cold anyway, let's stay at home, sip hot chocolate and dream away. 
Who spoilt my party? Why should I work and travel in the chill just because other places like Mumbai (they call India office "one office" - huh) or Singapore ("one region") or some other place with "important" people is unfortunate to be not cold and is open and working. I say, bring on the end of too-much-connectivity, let's sip hot coffee to the awesome dilli ki sardi.

Kitna kaam karte hain aj kal log, and yet, such little is constructive. 
Chhutti!!

PS You thought I'd rant about Facebook, twitter types again. Woh to you already know ji :)
