Digital Skills: A Celebration of Technology

Digital skills are the need of the hour, without which your future can be sour.

Gone are days when the letter was the king, now it’s the online jingles that we sing.

You can keep your worries at bay, as everything is just a click away.

Whether it’s booking a seat or making reservations,

Now you can do everything at your home with utter satisfaction.

Digital threads sew the gaps of connectivity,

Brings all of us together at parity.

You no longer need to take five rounds to that old govt office,

As now on the fingertips you'll have the services' access.

There's a plethora of options for you to choose,

Whether you want to say hi, build a business or just send your friend some cues.

Take no more hassle of paying hefty bills,

Online payment is not a task uphill.

Learning these skills can seem little tricky,

But without them your life can get icky.

It connects you with all the communities,

Across borders, race and ethnicities.

The entire digital landscape has changed,

So don't lag behind and let your aspirations hanged.

These skills will make you stand out in the crowd,

Once you will be digitally sound.

It is a new wave of development,

Yet you are doing those mediocre settlements.

Put a band aid to all your offline wound,

As the need for digital skills become more pronounced.

It’s time to enter this entangled web of net,

And get yourself digitally set.

Let’s come together for a drive,

To bridge the existing digital divide.

It increases visibility and improves access,

And keep all your opportunities in check.

What? You're still reading my silly lines?

Go now, learn, earn and shine!!
