My Thoughts, Observations and Readings

Today let me introduce Mr. Arunachalam, my husband, shortly I call him Aruni.   On Sundays, Aruni and I like to take our morning walk at the Marina beach or at the lake view park near our house where there is a walking track around the lake.  Last Sunday we were walking along the lakeside walking track. I saw a snail crossing the walking path so slowly that it did not seem to be moving. As I noticed a few baby snails crushed by the people walking there, I said to Aruni that if this snail is going this slow then people will crush it as they might not notice it.

  Recently, we have started the Digital Detox Club in our institution. When there was the proposal for starting this club, I wondered why this club and what would be the response of the students. So, I started browsing on this and found an article which explained each of the following findings from various research studies in detail: Technology make you feel stressful Digital devices can disrupt sleep Heavy usage of device can lead to mental health issues Constantly connected to devices  affects work/life balance Social comparison makes it hard to be content Digital connectivity can make you feel like you’re missing out It is really alarming and it seems to be true also!  Also, to my surprise, there are more students enrolled in the club and it clearly shows our youngsters are realising that they are caught up with the screen and want to come out of the digital addiction.  During the inauguration the guest interacted with the students on the steps they can take ...
