Well, you
know I am damn excited to share my thoughts upon these 2 worded sentence…..
Yes! You heard it right, it is an entire sentence in itself…..Well, if I
correct myself it is entirely an essay in itself. Many a times I get Goosebumps
on my body when I think about the depth of this platform. But sadly I lose
those Goosebumps when I feel and see how many of us are using it i.e. using it
just to pass time, waste time, spending time on that just like as if someone
forgot to turn off the tap after satisfying the thirst. Seriously, not becoming
aware of, we simply tends to give the 1/5th or 1/8th (whatever number you spend
on it)…of our life to social media.
Question
arises, why this tends to happen….?
Let’s take
an example….Harish discovered something interesting like reels on IG and for
him it was like the shirt tailored for him only. He got to know that where to
give my excess time left after all of the chaos. And he started mesmerizing
others too with that… Now owing to human mind tendency, Harish’s friend
Satish also tried exploring the boundaries of other country of his world. He
launched his steps like an elon musk’s rocket which landed on the doorstep of
his home and fuelled himself with the download button of Instagram. Now he
thought that my rush which was little risky now worth it… Satish was now
trying to find other things as well which attracted him like a south pole of
magnet that attracts the north pole. He fuelled up himself in noon 12 and still
running without fail till 12 of night.
Here comes
a catch…..the person who used to come at 12, get fresh and all till 1,
tuition at 2, outdoor funs at 6 and homework at 9 of night…. today he spent
his entire day on phone doing nothing of the above.
Any
question arose in your mind?
From where
the hell he got phone for entire day? Well, for that corona has simplified some
sort of things for children like Satish. He came home like rocket, claimed to
have lot of important stuff to do which he got from school, something like
project which will absolutely demand the access to internet and phone…. that
innocent mom happily handed over her phone to him. Now the fish stick with the
tasty piece stuck in it has been dipped in water to catch the fish….the wait is
just of the fish like Satish to get trapped…
Excited to
listen further…! Here one has to fight with his own conscience to stop
himself from being trapped in that fish stick. Conscience is the guy who is
always with us guiding us towards the wellbeing of us, but don’t know why we
ignore that. We always know that the time which we are spending on mobile using
Instagram or lot of other social media sites will have the negative impact on
our life and mind, but still we procrastinate and make ourself relax, thinking
that it’s not a big deal.
Hey you,
yaah I am talking to you… don’t do this dude, life is limited, time is
limited, the mind that you have is having enormous capacity of achieving
excellence and doing something productive… Well, if you are among one who
just passes time on social media, than you need to pay little attention on your
attitude. But if you are one who is using phone and internet to upskill
yourself or doing some skill enhancement course than it’s not that big to worry
about.
Do you know
about barrier we usually see on road for train passing. The people roaming all
around there have to stop until that train passes by. Samely when thoughts and
deeds which are not useful to us or which hinders our train like life (which is
always on time and stops or waits for no one), at that time we have to open the
barriers in our mind by our own will to stop any useless things enter in that passage and let that
train of our mind and productivity pass by smoothly.
But next
question arises, even I know it is wrong, but how to stop that? Well, Corona
was there to get you the phone from your home, I am here for you to keep you
away from your phone.
For
that…
1) Identity
trigger points which forces you to trigger your phone usage e.g., any
notification….switch it off, any notification badges….turn it off.
2) Identity
apps which consumes your most of time, instantly delete it or make it hard to access,
remove it from your home screen or put complex password to open that or have
password fitted by your family members.
3) Identity
time when you tend to use your phone more often. E.g. if you use your phone at
night, book yourself a slot to complete your pending work at that time. If you
use your phone more at morning, grab the habit of going out of house and have a
little walk like task. If you use your phone more in noon, indulge yourself in
a activity like dance class, music class, TV show, swimming class, etc.
4) Any time
passing content in gallery, just please delete it now. Any useful but useless
now type things, give them place in cloud storage that we have due to Google’s
grace like Google drive, google photos….. otherwise you will end up looking
at your beautiful selfies, some good memories clicked in phone, your family
function pics, birthday pics etc. Which will kill your time. See the,but not
every now and then.
Do you
know, those creators earn 6 figure income i.e 10L, 20L….etc. or even more
every month from those activities, which is might be more than your family’s
annual income. Sorry, If I am little harsh in my words…….but that’s
reality. Now you ask yourself a question how much do you earn monthly. If your
answer is less than 6 figure income, than please stop using all those social
media sites today.
Have you
observed what is really happening with you when you use social media? You are
becoming subject of them. They are consuming you, your life, your time and that
too without asking you. Someone has entered in your life and that too without
your permission…..what the hell is this. Do you want that somebody else
directs you or consume you. If you have ultimate craze for social media, then
choose to create some content, not only reels I am saying, but try to create
something on social sites , blogging, content writing, which can increase the
figure of your income, give you satisfaction of using social media and social
sites and also increase the productivity of the day and will add little value
to your 1 gb and your train will cross the barrier easily without any unwanted
human interruptions.
Last main
thing which attracts us, is the life of some influencers, we sometime make them
our idol. Well, there is nothing wrong in that to be fan of someone. But due to
that if you are not doing anything, just seeing their pics, vids, stories and
all then it’s a matter to worry about. Ok, tell me that, their parents’ must
had seen dreams for their children, like parents of Amitabh, akshay, kiara,
alia etc. Which they have achieved and proved themselves due to which today you
are following them. Do you think that dreams of your parents are of any less
grade than that, don’t your parents wanna see you as celebrity, don’t your
parents wanna see, people showering their love upon you. So, what is better, enjoying
someone’s else parents pray which your celebrities have fulfilled by their hardwork……..or………
working for the dreams of your parents , which they have seen for you or which you
have seen for them.
Aage aapki
marzi, aapki life, aapke sapne, aapke maa-baap ki aankho me vo pal pal ubharte
hue sapne, Jo tumhe dekhkar or mazboot ban jate hain. Vo zimmedaariyan jo aapka
intzaar karti hain, vo raatein, jo sapne dekhte dekhte guzaari thin, ek sukoon
ki neend ka intzaar karti hain…..kuch banne ka sapna
