Frustratingly sluggish mornings, noons and nights
Summers are here but you silently realise that it is not the season that affects your lazy attitude but something else. Something that has been following you like a hovering monster since the millennium Y2k era began. Have you ever thought what keeps you busy while you waste away your day lying on the couch? I asked this question from a few people, including youngsters, adults and older aged people, and got obvious answers like PSP, mobile phones, laptops, television, etc. Even your answers would tally with these. Today, we need everything to happen with a press of a button. There's remote control for everything these days and we have made ourselves accustomed to the habit of using one for all that we do. I explored this to be a major reason behind our sluggish mornings, noons and nights. Every morning seems like a Monday morning. The afternoons have become extremely sleepy as if you were a baby. The nights end with having 10 cups of coffee so as to reassure yourself of activity. The times before technology had crept in were the times of hard-work, body movement and relaxation that can never be felt now. 'Working hard' has now become 'hardly working' and that is only because of this thing I am typing into. Technology may have given us a few things but has taken away a lot more from us. I would want to experiment my life with just one hour of gadgets each day. For the rest 23 hours, I will go back to the 90s; play with clay, read books, paint pots and glasses, meet people (not on Facebook or Skype), write a bit, go cycling, learn cooking, take long walks into the greens, etc. It is a tough job for a person who sits around with smartphones and laptops for 99.9% of the day but I'll try and may be even encourage a few to give it a chance at least. Life may become less frustrating and more meaningful. Let's try being fully alive to each and every moment of what is left of our lives. #notech#laziness #gadgets #smartphones #technology #sleepy #work #activity #quitgadgets #read #write #paint #cycle #walk #meetpeople #live #alive #notechmovement #notechroutine
