Hi there.! This is a new thing i am trying today.. Since some of you people who'll find time to read this might konw, i recently stopped using Facebook,. And after some weeks i am still going strong!
Anyways, i dont want to be sounding all saintly here, but as most you may have guessed leaving fb for some as addicted as myself was definitely not voluntary!
It all started with this in built guilt factor i've got. it does not fit in any definition of a guilt factor though. With the world around going all sorts of crazy and obssesed with it being my (our) 12th, people tend to have an expectation that involve me (us) studying (i noe right?! i mean who saw that one comming??! :P) Now i dont usually give in to the occasional nagging (so ocassional that its scynchronized with my meal times!! :P :D).. but when i see myself in this month of December (which god noes, is reminded to me everyday that, is passing by,,),, i ask myself, What am i doing???? the reply i get is: "Oooh, dont go there!" :D
So me, here, fully aware of spending (wasting?) my "precious" time in all sorts of day dreaming tv watching book reading (i dont thnk i need 2 clarify these books have nothing 2 do with the ones i am actually supposed to read..) and of course FACEBOOK!!, notice, Hey, why am i not tensed???!! why am i not seeing any chills on my body when i figure out that last 2 weeks have had zero, if not negetive productivity! So there it is. Guilt. Guilt of not feeling Guilty.
So i take an impulsive decision to ban FB, supprted by one (only one that is) friend. There i did it. Feels good. No different. Except that the internet is empty to me now!!!! :D So i just tried to fill it up with something. A blog. Let me see how this one goes.....
If you are still reading this, feel welcome to share ur unusual guilt ridden impulsive decisions! They might work out sometimes i guess.... mine has got me here. 3 weeks without fb.. going strong. New blog.... and oh!! rite., the studyies you might wonder, thats well, ummmm, ooh gotta go new episode of the Big Bang Theory is out!! :P :P Bye!!!

You writing is very nice Arundhati! Do keep posting, especially now that your 12th board exams are over :)
ReplyDeleteIts really a challenge for our generation to deal with a wide range of distractions, like you listed, facebook, new seasons of TV shows, new editions of books, etc and also get on with our work! The real achiever will be the one who balances each of this distraction and also gets his/her work done! Good luck to you in doing that!
thanks a lot Sayali, its a great feeling to be appreciated from people who arent ur friends and family (because you know they say most of the things to be nice to you! :P )
ReplyDeletei will try and be regular at this, i am still a newbie as you can see!
