Hmm well just to bring some spice to life..yet another challenge beckons me. In this life, we are so into technology that we miss out on some of the wonderful opportunities that life has to offer. With that thought, I am ready to take up another experiment.
What the task is, you may ask..GET OFF SOCIAL MEDIA!!
Social media has opened up some brilliant avenues to reconnect and network but has actually turned us slightly (*underrated) word anti social. It's a drug that you cannot get enough of. I need a detox..yes that true and the reasons for which I came to this decision were colossal and after introspecting *mainly being taunted actually* I have finally decided to go through, which I figure, a very painful process of rehab.
So the rationales being:
- waking up during the night to tweet/chk fb/insta - I kid you not or maybe just to read (*snoop). Sleeping disorders are not a boon since am an early riser :/
- Missing out on conversations - I become hearing impaired when am connected to SM.
- I know its a good thing that when creativity or wit strikes and you have an outlet but when you are driving or doing something important umm not so much.
- Even when you are with ppl you wanna be around, you are busy tweeting or fbing and then you get one tight slap..which you never anticipated, leaving you red and embarassed.
- You forget to cultivate your own skills. The situation is that bad that you can feel the rust growing and you feel useless.
- You don't join the hobby classes you invested in as you claim you have no time while you are socializing after every 40 mins *yes a frnd did a tweet analysis*. ( thought was that it was a low score - followed by tight slap).
- You are so caught up in the virtual world that you don't want to meet old n new ppl in reality.
- You kinda lose grip on yourself and let your self go. ( Painful really when clothes don't fit you :o).
- You get depressed and at times build low esteem when you see ppl doing shit you are already doing but not posting, when you see others being wittier or who are prettier than you when you are amazing in your own right.
- You don't know your own worth. That's what SM does - it's toxic!

So after immense reconnaissance into my current lifestyle I have decided that I need to make some major changes. It's kind of like a disconnect with the virtual world to connect with the real world.
It's going to be a tough one I know it...but encounters like these make life worth living. So here goes....blog shall continue though...need to vent somewhere right!!!
Pray for me to manage this gigantic task..mon dieu!!
