I believe in a quote by  Sam Berns that says, "Even though I have many obstacles in my life, I don't want people to feel bad for me."  Hi Readers! I'm Rashmi, 25 years old and an ex-student of Psychology Hons of Delhi University, India. This story took place when I was 21-22ish. I was living in an imaginary world. Where life was full of happy endings and good people. I never thought something like that would ever happen to me. Until and unless that incident happened. My life turned into a 360° angle in one day. Unfortunately, I witnessed something I never visualized. It was the summer season, I was in the 2nd year. I was heading to my University. I was sitting on the bus and waiting for it to move.  There came a woman of 32 years of age, with a jute bag and a traveling bag. She wasn't from Delhi. The light brown jute bag was light-weighted. Yet, the traveling bag was a bit heavy that she was struggling to lift it. I thought of helping her. But, she gave me ...

Last year in November 2018, I did social media detox experiment. It wasn't planned. But surprisingly, it lasted for 2 weeks. In those two weeks, I witnessed a tremendous change in my routine. By just deactivating my social media accounts, I became productive. Few days were challenging and I was procrastinating a lot. But then, it became my habit to stay away from my phone. I indulged myself in writing and reading more. These activities kept me motivated. I stay focused on my social media detox experiment. Believe me, It was a fun activity. We all know, social media provides us unlimited content that attracts us to consume extra information. In India, people spend 17 hours per week on social media.  I consumed pointless information which had no use in my real life, just like you do. Unnecessary, we all check our phones. Even though, we don't receive any notification. Believe me or not, but, for me, social media detox was a saviour. How and Why? Well, I will answer y...
