The Trapped Generation



Technology ruling us from morning to evening. Waking up to the alarm clock, checking Whats App, booking an Uber, ordering a sandwich from Swiggy, answering the constant barrage of emails, tweets and text messages, paying your bills in the afternoon, coming back and Netflix late night.
Where are you without the technology ? Think once..

Do you know there is something out there, who knows about you more than yourself.....What you do? When you do? Where you go? What you wanna buy? ...… Who?
Google - The stalker you can't stop.
We are equally responsible for giving away our data in all the places and being fearful for falling for a new scam or a phishing attack and get confused how and why?

With technology all over the place, we aren't realizing how much it's conquering our mind as it plays its game.
The stress we are going through. You know who used to read our minds? Our parents. They used to know what we wanted and when we wanted. Now, it’s the machine learning algorithm which we trained to the system. With the help of the technology tracking down our shopping patterns, the e-commerce has put its decision with the predatory pricing and the inventory controlling system. Influencing you so much after you made a decision to say no but makes you feel regret if you don't go back to it.

Technology being the master is one of the reasons for causing depression among the latest generation.
Our happiness is being measured by the posts we put and see on the social media. The stress we take of putting a snap and posting it when we eat, go to a new place or doing something.
You may ask how? A person sharing a post of enjoying with a group of people while a single person watching it and comparing it with their present situation. The stress we take to update ourselves with the latest trends and fit into the something that never existed.
Running after fake colors, fake posts, fake relationships, the technology has broken us down …. Sorry, we let the technology break us. We let it rule and we became the slaves for it.

Just think…What were we before it, what are we now and where do we stand in between them?

I do not fear the technology... I fear the lack of it.

Be Kind to your Mind!

As we are in the Mental Health Awareness month, it is really important to take care of ourselves both physically and mentally. Mental health depends on many factors such as handling situations, family imbalance, peer-competition, societal pressure, trust issues and etc. Research says the people in our lives and around us impact on our behaviour also. We meet a lot of people with different personalities. Some makes us happy, sad, angry while some make us feel guilty for what we are by pointing out flaws. Your tribe decides your vibe. So, who are your tribe? Let’s see the common types of people we come across in our lives.                The Socializer a.k.a Extrovert – these people always take initiatives, makes friends easily, always ready to help others and are party poopers. They are optimistic but little dominant in nature. These try to cheer you up when you are low. The Home Alone a.k.a Introvert – these people have very few fri...

The Quarantined Mind!

      Days passing by, we have no motive but to wait for the lock down to end. Today, we are talking that there used to be a time when we were rushing to work in the congested traffic, attending meetings, hanging out with friends, going out on weekends and prioritizing things has brought a new meaning for B.C i.e, Before Corona.                             Life is unpredictable – well yes, the perfect example of what we have been going through the past few days. Economic crisis, Recession in jobs, deaths, cancellation of travel is what we hear all day. Each one has a different story but today we all are part of one big story COVID-19 sharing the common emotion - quarantined between four walls, social – distancing and hoping for a tomorrow. What do we call this? World War 3? A Phase?   Or a Trauma?             Everyone’s doing their part and making the use o...

A gentle reminder..

  Dear you, How are you? Yes, I know you are not well. I know you are blank, confused, depressed and your heart and mind filled with void. Trust me, so do I. Can’t help to hold back my tears when thinking about the loved ones we’ve lost so far. I write this with deep grief and anguish that all we can do today is to stay calm, strong, pray and help as much as we can. We all started the new year with a positive note that yes, maybe the pandemic is near to the end.   Well, guess we celebrated too early. Despite several warnings we received around the globe, we chose to ignore it (Self-decision). It’s not late though, yes I mean it’s not too late though to still come back to the same place we were a year ago. Yes, it hurts to sit between the four pillars. Yes, it kills us to move away from our loved ones. Yes, we still can’t go back to our workplaces or our colleges. Yes, we have to resume our vacation plans we’ve made all these days. YES, YES YESS….. and YES, the pandemic has...
