Is Smartphone really making us Smart ?

Scene#1
You walk into a restaurant and you notice a couple seated near you. And you notice that they really are not enjoying this opportunity to be together because one is patiently waiting for the other to stop talking or texting on the cell phone.And you think, How sad that they aren’t talking to each other.

And here’s one more scene  :P we all see regularly:



Through this picture, you will get to know my point. You never enjoy vacations because physically you are at your desired location but mentally you are connected to your office chores.
The technology is evolving so quickly that most of us are barely aware of how our behavior is changing and our family are affected.
These mobile devices can take over your life.I understand technology has its advantages, but we are being ruled by the technology rather than using it as a tool.”
It’s not that the technology is inherently bad. Far from it—it helps us connect with people in many positive ways. The problem is that so many people are unable to control it. It’s as if they are married to their cell phones.

We love iPhone and other smartphones because they are portals that allow us to enter a world of our choice—when you have a good smartphone in your hand, you don’t care about your surroundings. I made some household rules for using smartphones in a controlled manner.
Here are some rules, which I always try to follow:
  • Don't use a smartphone as alarm Or keep unapproachable while sleeping.
  • No devices at the dinner table. 
  • No phones at the restaurant.
  • No texting or talking about really important personal issues over the phone.This should be done face-to-face unless it is something that can't wait. 
  • Set a time limit for using.Avoid obsessive browsing.
Some peoples are attached to a smartphone that it basically becomes the most important thing in your life.
 If you can’t live without a gadget … throw it away.!
If a gadget is absorbing most of your leisure time … throw it away!

Cutting down on online time to the time that is really necessary, you will find the quality of our life will get improved- Slowly you will discover more time and energy to do things in personal real life that you really enjoy. "There is no app for happiness."

The New Year is creeping up and many are thinking about their New Year’s Resolution. However, this year I will reduce the amount of time, I spend on a smartphone.
What will you do to reduce the amount of time you spend on your Smartphone? Will you be making a New Year’s resolution this year? Please share below.

What 21 days of yoga taught me about motherhood

For the past 21 days, I have committed to a practice of bettering myself, moving my body, and becoming more deeply aware of my motherhood. After the birth of my baby, I jumped back into exercise and motherhood, foolishly hoping that all of my routines would pick off where they left off. But after a stint at a pelvic floor physical therapist and weeks readjusting to motherhood, another version of my post-partum body, and living life, everything needed gentleness… and a BIG break. In an effort to heal myself during this time, I dedicated myself to a yoga practice in a way I never have before. All of my greatest shifts happen when I commit fully, so I opted in for a 21days practice of yoga, allowing my body to heal and my mind to accept whatever my body was able to produce. What happened over these 21 days changed my physical body, and offered me a new sense of grace for all the parts of me, on and off the mat. It is often forgotten that motherhood, like yoga, is a daily practice. There...

Conquering Infertility through YOGA

After losing weight through Yoga ,my next challenge is to conceive , which I was trying more than years. All medical treatments and experiments done on my body but nothing worked. After reproductive trauma , series of three miscarriage and repeated failure of treatments made me emotionally weak.Its absolutely heart breaking, when pregnancy test come negative made me feel empty womb aching heart.As much as I wanted to share my stories or feelings,I kept a lot under my hat. It was the most emotional roller-coaster time I have ever been on. From extreme highs to devastating lows. Constant questioning of what is wrong with me, my body, was I that unlucky? I read every forum, every blog about strong women enduring multiple miscarriages even up to 10, their struggles both emotionally and mentally. It helped and made me address the thoughts in my head and really dissect the situation for my own mental health. Getting on the yoga mat helped me stay balanced during the most stressful time. I...
