Thode Dur Thode Pass — A Journey of Realization
Today, I watched a series titled “Thode Dur Thode Pass” and felt deeply nostalgic and emotional. The show beautifully captures the essence of human connection in today’s digital age. I would highly recommend everyone to watch it at least once to truly feel the depth of its storyline. Without a doubt, all the actors were exceptional and portrayed their roles with great realism.
“Thode Dur Thode Pass” revolves around the concept of digital fasting — using technology only when necessary and disconnecting from it to spend meaningful time with loved ones. In today’s world, technology has made us more like machines — not productive ones, but emotionless gadgets. Somewhere along the way, we have forgotten family values, emotional connections, constructive discussions, and the joy of celebrating togetherness.
The first two episodes depict the struggle and dissatisfaction that comes with digital fasting, while the later episodes beautifully portray the realization of how dependent we’ve become on technology and how it affects our relationships and inner peace.
With time, it’s important that we adapt to change — but without losing the true essence and beauty of life before digitalization.
I am not a saint myself. I spend a lot of time on my phone and social media apps. Yet, I still cherish those memories when my entire family would gather together, and close friends would choose to spend time talking all night — without worrying about messages or notifications. Sadly, I’ve stopped doing that now. I find myself spending my alone time with my phone because, nowadays, when you try to share something, people rarely have the patience to truly listen.
We are no longer good listeners — and that’s why we’re losing the ability to understand others, their emotions, and their feelings. This gradually leads to an attitude of indifference, where people stop caring or putting in effort.
It’s 2025, but every single day, I wish I could go back to the 80s or 90s — a time when life was all about “us,” not “me.” I wish money and lifestyle didn’t hold so much importance in living a normal life today, so that I wouldn’t have had to leave my home either.
Every concept indeed has its pros and cons, but when something starts making us lose our traditions, values, and emotions — that, in my opinion, has only cons.
