MEN STOP MACHINES-MACHINES DON'T STOP MEN.
For some time one has been reading a lot on one's addiction to social networking sites, blogging, and mobile. Recently, I read a blog post where the author admits her unease with the amount of time she has been spending on the net and her inability to get over it and has failed despite her best efforts.
Fact is that even I have personally been getting kind of addicted to the net. I have tried to cut down but have failed after innumerable attempts.
Recently, I went to Rajasthan for a few days. Baggage contained laptop, iPad, Blackberry and what have you. At the last moment, I decided not to carry any of these addictions/gadgets with me.
Determined, I left all this at home and took a chance.
Trust me, it works.
For three days I was a freeman. No mail. No call. No tweets. No reading of blogs, no posting of comments.
It was heavenly. I slept better. I had an extra glass of wine. After all, we did live without all these habits until a few years ago, didn’t we?
I won't, now, accept any argument that it is not possible to live without these oxygen cylinders we call gadgets.
Given an opportunity, I just might try this once again in coming days.
Try it, you might like it.
MEN STOP MACHINES-MACHINES DON'T STOP MEN.
let us CHANGE INDIA for INDIA OF TOMORROW.
