Diagnosed them as NETAHOLICs

By: arunroy | Posted Sep 06, 2009 | General | 1074 Views | (Updated Sep 06, 2009 02:33 PM)

There are alcoholics, workaholics. Society has accommodated these two groups. But now I see a new community around me.

I have diagnosed them as NETAHOLICs .….

Net has given us a wide spectrum to learn and interact. We consider it as a big opportunity to learn or share our views. But friends, we are trapped. We fall in this trap very easily. And we become Netaholics. Now we cannot think of life without net. It seems to be non-curable disease. A deadly bug that mess up our normal lifestyle. I am also a prey of this bug. Like me, I see lot many friends glued to their computer until late. A Ullu community is growing very fast in MS (shhhh ... I too join them once in a while). In FB, I see lot of people even when I get up very early in the morning. I am sure they are continuing since last night.

Sometime this is creating lot of tension and stress. We experience it quite often in MS. Not only that, it is also responsible for lifestyle diseases because we spend too much of time in front of that “nuisance box” leaving aside regular exercise. Stress on our sensitive eyes is going to create huge problem for many.

Other than that, we are avoiding socializing and even basic responsibility. Atleast it was true for me till I read a sensitive DP of JAMs.

How can I get rid of this bug???? Thoda sa Wish Karron to balance.

But Sujatasaid – “Balance... is a paradox much desired and not much attained :) … I agree but at least try if we can attain 50% success. My own score is 2 out of 5 in last 3 months.

My Dear Friends …. Go out and enjoy nature. Go to a disco, spend energy, and burn calories. Go for aerobics. We have so many options. Aajkal hum toh Hanumanji se bhi baat karna band kar diya aur Dandiya night mai bhi short cut because I have to reply to all comments and even do not go to meet my sick friend because time hi milta nahi hai. Think man!

Friends ….. Go out otherwise we are in trouble.

I am still browsing ….. God bless me.

But U enjoy fantastic Sunday

You loved this blog. Thank you for your rating.

Whether on MS or for any other job, we have started spending too much time in front of our PCs.
And today when I had my Stress Test on the Tread Mill, just for 10 minutes, there was a feeling in me that I have lost a lot of physical stamina. Physical inaction has started eating us at quite an early age.
So Dada, I take your word seriously. Shall take out at least 1 hour everyday for brisk walks while I am in Mumbai. And then while I am at work on my Rig, I still have my helideck to walk around.
I am serious- Your words today and my Stress Test together have enough words of warning in them.

Nice post, there is so much to do on net that whatever time one devote to it is less......But its a very timeless saying that ''Excess of Everything is Bad''...moderation is key!!!
Thanks for drawing attention of us MSians to this addiction...
