Sleepwalking

 Naina Da Kya Kasoor – Ayushmann Khurrana

[part 1]

Technologies connected us. Enriched and expedited the waves and ways of our life.

But, on a second thought, technologies have also crippled us. Least, costed us our own freedom, our authentic authenticity.

Because, believe it or not, but just ask yourself, when was the last time that you really sat alone doing nothing for say one hour, and all by yourself in absence of any tech stimulants, such as — phones, computers, tablets, earphones, whatever?

Because, believe it or not, but just thinking about your daily life for the length of a week without WiFi or your Phone or both is perhaps the most apocalyptic shit that you can imagine happening to yourself.

Because, believe it or not, three in every five individuals from your group will pick out their phone and shamelessly get hooked in with their pseudo-important shits even though you’ve all mutually consented to have a decent lunch or dinner or something of sorts for fun t.o.g.e.t..h.e.r. That you were never fully there for them and nor they were there for you. Fuck! And wait, the worst part is that we even consider this norm or behavior a standard normal in our social life. It’s appalling!

[part 2]

Now, these are the same breed of people who constantly complains about fucked up life, fucked up schedules, fucked up relationships, fucked up priorities, fucked up possibly e.v.e.r.y p.o.s.s.b.i.l.e.t.h.i.n.g.

Because, believe it or not, these breed of busy people are senselessly doing weird busy shits all the time without ever asking and acknowledging where they are even headed. Cold truth:- They hardly have energy or time to even self-reflect, self-evaluate, self-correct, self-question!

Suffice to say, these kinds of people are the victim of Sleepwalking. In other words, it’s also called willful blindness.

Suffice to say, we’ve clearly lost the feel of true love and honest, real connections and palpable human compassion and sense of pure fulfillment and sense of genuine responsibility towards community and towards ourselves to these addictive, demanding, draining, dreadful tech-fucks.  Cold truth:- We are more sensitive, more self aware. We think more, we are too busy in our head, too busy with our phones, too busy with our works, too busy planning for some esoteric, life fulfilling vacations or parties or get aways, too busy working on poses, too busy scrolling, too busy seeking, … chasing, stupidly wandering, complaining, … just too busy to be happy.

[Giggles.. ]

Rightly so, this reminds me of a quote from an american essayist Sir Henry David Thoraeu

It is not enough to be busy. So are ants. The question is: what are we busy about?

 

[part 3]

To the nutshell and on a laconic note: Business is a trap! Business is exhausting. Anti-productive. Corrupting. Deceitful. Sleepwalking. Unplug!

Pondering: Ignorance is suffering. ~ Dalai Lama
