📝 The Silence in the Noise
In a bustling smart city, everything moved faster than human thought. Everyone wore smartwatches, spoke to digital assistants, and shared their lives through glowing screens.
Among them was Ananya, a college student known for her glamorous fashion and vibrant online presence. Every day, she posted stylish outfits, makeup tutorials, and snippets of luxury. Her followers adored her — yet when she met her old friend Riya, a quiet book lover, something felt strange.
Riya spoke about poetry, philosophy, and the joy of human connection — but Ananya struggled to reply. She realized she had stopped having deep conversations, stopped thinking beyond likes and comments. Her words felt empty.
It wasn’t her clothes or beauty that silenced her. It was the constant noise of digital admiration that had made her forget how to truly speak and listen.
That night, Ananya turned off her phone. She wrote a page in her diary — clumsy words at first, but real. For the first time in years, she heard her own voice again.
