“What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare.”- Leisure, WH Davies<\/p>\n

As children we were taught this poem, but it is now when we are all grown up that we truly appreciate it. \u00a0We live in a world where not an hour goes by without a gadget by our side.\u00a0 From the alarm that goes off to get us out of bed, to the constant beeps and chimes that connect us to our friends, family and work all day long, a simple gadget like a mobile has now transformed itself into a necessity, armed with apps that are aimed to make life easy. \u00a0 Attend to a missed payment immediately or source a flight ticket in an instant!\u00a0 Even stepping out for an evening of fun will have you bring out your phone and look up apps like BookMyShow and Zomato for booking or reviews!\u00a0 It\u2019s just a matter of perspectives, but what can be termed as convenience can also be termed as digital dependancy… right? \u00a0 So when you can’t let go of your gadget, or can’t imagine life without a mobile by your side, its time to try the digital detox.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So what does a typical day in our lives look like? \u00a0The dynamics of daily routine change with yuppies making their own rules to live by.\u00a0 Wake up to your favourite number \u2013 with the mobile blasting the tune that will leave you humming for the day.\u00a0 Could be Adele crooning Hello or U2\u2019s Beautiful Day!\u00a0 As you hit snooze, start checking updates on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. Half a dozen likes and comments later, you cant stop but ping the WhatsAppers who\u2019ve been trying to keep you up all night.\u00a0 A few emojis later, you realise that some work emails may need to be attended too .. Ugh!\u00a0 The irony of getting late for work, when you have already started working hits you!<\/p>\n

You get ready, make a few calls over a half eaten breakfast and run to your car to drive down to work, crossing your fingers that you don’t hit the peak hour traffic.\u00a0 If not, then you just look up the cab booking app and voila, you can use the time during travel to get more work done on the way to work.\u00a0 Worry much! \u00a0Order in lunch at office on another app and glare at your phone as the world passes you by.\u00a0 You may be chatting with friends, but are you truly aware of what\u2019s going on with them?\u00a0 Engrossed in work and distracted at times by the travel diaries of many, temptation beckons and you slip in & out of ticket and vacation booking portals and apps with half baked plans to step out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n

Even after office hours, nothing changes. \u00a0Funny stories or jokes are no longer spoken out loud – after all its easier to WhatsApp three of them in the time you finish one! \u00a0\u00a0In fact, you barely spot couples having a conversation with each other without a mobile playing the third wheel!\u00a0Remembering phone numbers of our dear ones too,\u00a0have become a thing of the past thanks to our complacency & digital dependancy!<\/p>\n

Wouldn’t it easier to get our heads outta that small screen around which we have started aligning our lives?\u00a0 \u00a0It\u2019s time to smell the coffee and realise the pleasure in the simpler things in\u00a0life, \u00a0especially when the world is\u00a0about so much more than the gadget we can’t seem to leave behind! \u00a0 Try digital detox to reassess life and\u00a0get the\u00a0priorities right.<\/p>\n

If you look closely, you will realise that the price of staying connected on the mobile is the disconnect from society at large.\u00a0 The warm embrace of your friends catching up is incomparable to the number of likes from acquaintances on a selfie. \u00a0Soaking in the beauty of various locales is priceless thank to the memories that are created in a\u00a0split second! \u00a0So if you pick up your phone today, catch up with a bestie and start the digital\u00a0detox at least for a couple of hours. \u00a0Let go of the anticipation or the force of habit that has you glancing at your phone every passing minute, and look around you. \u00a0It’s time to break the shackles of digital dependancy and rediscover yourself today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
