Day 5: A day without Cell phone

In this world of technology and so called busy life a Cell phone has almost become a necessity. People have become so addicted to it that it has now promoted itself under the basic needs to live for at least a particular group of people. For example- Lovers, those who are only child of their parents, some too busy blackberry boys and also me who will soon hold world record for getting maximum number of messages in a given year without having a girl friend.

But as I have stated before that addiction is not very good, particularly towards an object, I tried to test my level of addiction for my Broken, ugly, cheap and yet most invaluable cell phone. I did this test during the exam time thinking it will avoid disturbance and I could study properly. I somehow succeeded in it but discovered a really nice way for all of us to have a bit of self assessment by the help of this small exercise.

Before I began my exercise or you can call it as a Hibernation, I realized that after successfully completing it one can answer some intriguing questions which He/She has failed to answer in his/her busy life. Even you should try it sometime.

The questions are:

1. How many times did you really want to just go and switch on the cell phone? ( You can know- your addiction level)

2. Who would be the person you wana call or message or want to see his/her message when your first urge arises? (It answers- why are you addict?)

3. Whom did you miss the most? ( You can know- whom you love the most!)

4. Did you get a headache during this exercise? (You will know- Was it a kind of dysphoria?)

5. Were you normal during the whole time or different? (Should be answered by your friends)

6. When you completed the exercise did you feel happy and proud?
( It will tell your attitude)

7. Finally, How much are you missed? ( This you will know by your own methods!)

I got most of the answers which was somehow satisfactory to me because I could know my self better. Hope you will also get enlightened when you do this difficult test.

So, now the question is Would you dare?
