Screen And Me

How do you manage screen time for yourself?

🤪🤪🤪

Who manages screen nowadays?

Screen manages us.

To put off the morning alarm I have to wink at the mobile screen.

To see the get-up-from-bed time ( yes both are different) I again wink at the mobile.

Wink means one eye closed coz am still groggy.

Morning Pranayam…

That’s the only time I lose track of time …

So no screen

As a result unduly late…

Rush…rush…rush

Inbetween if I have to order something urgent, send an immediate sms, call my sister who by the way lives on the first floor again recourse to mobile.

One and a half hours later, am enroute to office. Oh yes! Before that if the mobile has to be put on recharge then checking it’s battery again needs a peek at the screen.

My commuting time is almost one and a half hours. If I am not snoring I pray. Some prayers are on my lips. For some I again refer to my mobile.

Prayers over there’s still time to check all the apps, social networking sites, read blogs/comments/reply to comments, read on kindle, go through informative videos, listen to a bit of music if worn out…..not all together but as per priority/time/mood in hand. In brief again dependency on screen.

In office. Ten to Six…tip tap tip tap on keyboard, gawking at the screen till the shoulders ache or a must visit to the ladies’ room.

Where’s the time to be off screen (Mobile/Laptop)?

Middle of the night tossing turning..

Screen again…

But again

Exceptions ….

Stressed

Preoccupied

Unfinished reading (physical book)

That’s the time am off the hook,sorry, screen. those are the days I can’t interact with my co-bloggers.

My physician goes off screen when it’s too much for her to handle. I guess I too have to shut out the world at times. Actually that’s it screen time brings us close to the world. News. International affairs. Latest developments. Family. Friends. Without screen we are cut off. Strange! We never used to feel like that when we were children. Were we less informed and ignorant at that time? Now more up to date?

If someone knows more/is more aware than me it gives a kind of inferiority complex. Is it a psychological issue?

The other day we felt tremors in office. Lo! Before rushing down we all checked our mobiles for confirmation…epicentre…time…strength….
