Man’s new best friend( mobile mania)
The wailing of a baby is one of the most disturbing noise. That day I was distracted cause a small 3. Year old was crying outside my room. I got up to check , He was alone . I am searching frantically for the abandoned kid’s mommy. She was found running around searching for her mobile which she had misplaced. The sick baby she had come to take medicine for had been left alone crying. I scolded her
. What’s more important your baby or phone I asked her????
Phone of course
. Its the most important thing now. Its soon going to get listed in most important elements required for keeping alive. Like oxygen water food etc
You come across so many families in restaurants ,malls, airports, metro stations etc they are all glued on. Why are we so hooked on to it?
Facebook and whatsapp are keeping everyone busy all the time
. Be it any age group or any economic strata. men ,women ,elders ,kids, everyone is Mobile friendly. Its an addiction. And a dangerous one.
Stress and anxiety are on the rise courtesy over communications and over connectivity. Small quarrels turn into huge discussions courtesy never ending what’s app messages. Its a two edge sword where on one end we are aware and connected with so many new things and on the other hand we are so lost and unaware about even our immediate family and sorroundings. We may know what’s going on in xyz life in any part of the world but unaware about our own house mates .because the minimum time spent at home post we come from our hectic jobs is spent hooked on to the phone. Wether it’s going to the washroom or eating food or going to bed with the phone tucked in your blanket. Most of you wake up by phone alarm, even at night if you waken up your hand immediately goes to your phone to check messages ,whatsapp ,missed calls ,Facebook ,twitter etc etc.
What might you have missed in the middle of the night only god knows.
I forgot to charge my phone when I left for work. I was so worked up that I could not focus on anything till I found a charger from a colleague. The same day I forgot my lunch box, I didn’t care a damn. “Khana hi to hai I thought” and for Dhawan me that’s a big deal.What if my phone gets switched off.
God knows what If I miss a call from Modi or Obama or a message from shah rukh Khan whatsapp or a Facebook update or a new like for one of my article . That would be a big problem. Can’t wait till I get home. Phone first rest everything else later.
Steve jobs must be happy in heaven
I think the the name apple has been taken from the forbidden. apple that Eve and Adam ate in the garden of Eden and then became miserable. Similarly the apple phone which by the way I swear by has made us miserable because we just can’t put it down.
If the olympics had a sport involving phones I would have won the gold.
My special thanks to reliance for jio. Those Who were earlier slightly resistant in using mobiles for money considerations also join the bandwagon. There are apps for everything so may be in a few years we will have human apps where you can choose and download what humans you want. Or may be the need for humans would not even exist.
My little one hates my phone while I am typing this he looks at me angrily. Mom do you ever put this down. It makes me guilty.
I am one addicted phonaholic.
Most people I look around no better. Some even worse.
I should pray tonight that when I get up mata rani should decrease my affinity for my phone and make me phone free. What I know would happen is that I cling to my phone in case mata rani vanishes it and keep checking all day and night for the number of comments and likes for my article 😬😬😬😬.
