Technology and Metaverse👽


Kids these days are found glued to their phones. Well when I think about it so are we most of the time. With the amount of people in IT industry and usage of watsapp to send info, office calls and stuff we use it more than ever.

When it comes to kids they have online zoom classes and school watsapp groups which makes their usage a lot worse. All my young cousins are found with mobile phones. They play games on phones, talk to friends on phones than in person, keep clicking pictures and post them in Instagram and talk about the comments they received and likes as well. Sometimes we can see these as fun but eventually the toll these things take on mental health is huge. I have seen people who take lot of time to edit their picture to find a perfect one before posting it online. There's nothing wrong with wanting to look good in a picture but the problem arises when we start hating on our looks and feel we aren't perfect enough and develop that inferiority complex. 

I saw lot of videos on algorithms behind these social media apps and its kind off scary. Nothing is private anymore you know. We can just search for anyone on the internet and find that person either on linked in or Insta or anything. 

I tried googling myself and found pictures of me in the images tab of google search engine and got scared then realised my profile on few sites was public without my knowledge like linked In, HackerEarth and Insta. I deleted my fb account as I wasn't using it anymore but couldn't delete Insta for some reason. I changed the image privacy on linked in and hacker earth so now its not visible anymore. Besides these things I saw the google accounts ads page which predicted things about me like wats my age, my marital status, the field I work in more accurate than ever. Last time I searched for a phone case online I found ads of it on my Insta feed. Feels like someone watching me all the time. I decided to change all privacy settings after that still these things creep me you know.

Now with all the things I read about meta verse makes it even more scary where I expect we can find lot of people wearing these meta verse glasses and living in a fictional world. Already when I walk alone or travel in a bus everyone uses their phone to kill time. Practically everyone has their phone out and staring and scrolling into it. Now thinking of people wearing glasses and walking into imaginary world makes it much worse. 

We can't really stay away from technology as it is an integral part of life these days but still be conscious about what we are using and how much we are using it.

I switched my work organization😉

First of all thank you for coming here to read my blogs. I haven't posted for a long time now and believe I will be more consistent going forward.  I joined a new organization 2 days back and it feels like the best decision I have taken in a while. I believe we must all keep looking for growth in all aspects of life. Be it career or health or emotional growth. Sometimes you get stuck in a loop of doing things and no matter how much you work hard you are never appreciated or more problems arise. A similar situation happened to me in life where I felt no amount of work is getting me out of this loop.  I had some really crappy work surrounded by tough people to handle. When I decided to switch my job for monetary and other reasons it was very hard to get any interview calls.  The key here is to keep believing. I never believed because market is bad and stuff but my husband kept constantly applying to jobs on my behalf. I had some mental breakdowns due to the work wherein I h...

Dealing with Anger😈

Being angry is something that I do most of the time especially on my family because I never react at work or anywhere else as much as I feel free to do it at home. The main victim of my anger is my younger sister. It’s also true that she irritates me most of the time but she is kind of curious of things I do and tries to lookout to me to help her and I just scream and send her away. We also tend to do it with our mom’s more frequently. She asks us if we had lunch or dinner and we end up screaming at her asking her not to disturb because we are too busy in something which might not be that important than eating on time. Always think for a minute before you scream or be rude to someone because it’s not their fault to come and talk to you so that you show your frustration on them. Relax and enjoy things while doing them because having a cool mind gets the best out of you in any situation rather than a panicking person.

Read this if you feel sick and unwell all the time..

  This post is just to change your narrative on health if you have been feeling sick or being called a sick person all the time. I would like to explain this using my life story. I have been the most adventure loving fun person I know throughout my life but I stopped believing this narrative and started feeling sick and lazy and it all started during the onset of covid. If you would have known me before this phase you would have rarely seen me sick. I would have cried a few times because of teen life crisis but it had nothing to do with my health. Even on family trips to hills I have never felt nauseated. During the 8 months of being a fresher I had lot of freedom and money to buy and eat things I want and there were times I used to eat 2 small size pizzas around 10:30 pm. It dint do anything to me but the results showed up during locked down where I gained around 8 kgs. I had work for the entire day during this fresher phase and my onset of frequent headaches started. This is when...
