On what I have been upto

I found this brilliant article in THE HINDU's NXG last Thursday.....If you would like to read it .. click here.


It describes about the challenges few youngsters took to be away from the internet for one week. They took it as a challenge and have spoke about their feelings on how difficult It was to live a NO- facebook, twitter or rather GOOGLE day ! It made me think how addicted we all have become to these sites and immediately decided to take up the challenge..  for 5 days. First day it was a bit difficult for me because I had no other important work to do and if it had been a normal day , I would have wasted hours online. Now , as it was a challenge I tried to find out few different alternatives to streamline my thoughts and time ! My mom was happy to see my data-card missing and my laptop switched off !! I took a brisk evening walk that day and actually could see a different evening out there. There was sooo much time to ponder and waste without doing one work, I actually tried out few homework sums which I would have not done on the other hand. I set up my mind from Saturday, not to use my data-card, no matter what ! I could actually feel a  huge relief... Finally, I felt that there are lots of  things to look at other than the internet and decided to check my online time from then. It is only today , I went online to check my facebook profile and there was nothing important that happened in these 5 days ! How much time I would have wasted without this challenge !! AND what if there is something important is happening in other's life ?? Should we care? After all its our life and we need to concentrate on ourselves. A BIG SALUTE to the one who wrote this article :) It really made me think ! If you are one vetti person like me and if you find that you are always online at one or the other sites , try this challenge today and tell me your experience :)  :)
