Sleep with it…wake with it…live with it

Roti ,kapra and makan

The three basic needs for human existence.

However my poor sixth sense says “we have four”, i.e. food, clothing, shelter and cell phone.

Cell phones are like sensory organs. They teach us how to change, what to change and when to change! It is what you wake up and fall asleep with.
Whether it is text, call or updating status we always hook around for 22 times in24hours.
Just look at me; I walk and talk, check online prices, change tracks, play games and watch movies whenever I get bored..I even check my facebook likes and whatsaap messages while studying, going to bed or talking with someone.

Typically it begins with an hour long daily activity consisting of internet, gaming and social media _which spirals into obsessions and consumes 8 to 9hrs a day. We try not to work and study, avoid friends, family outings, food and sleep. And when we are not a part with it, we get aggressive and outraged.

These are however “the synchronized addicts of today’s generation”; the people with no public relations, the people with stress and frustrations; the people with uncultivated brains..
Some of the common glimpses that you face daily;
Your mom always says, “You are on it for a long”, and you get defensive, claiming that you expect calls and texts from matters regarding studies...But is it so? Or you get a chance to fool your mom.

You are convinced that you cannot do two things at the same time; text and study or call and drive. You never switch it off unless the battery dries off: and make sure that it is in your pocket or bag.

I have acquired a habit of sleeping with it.

I check the last notification at night and wake up impetuously cancelling the snooze button.

After saying so many things, I admit that, “I cannot live without my cell phone”.
