As I am sitting in my newly set-up office, waiting for access to this database, my mother sends me a couplet which talks about how books feel ignored because of our gradual yet drastic switch to the computer. I feel really nostalgic about the smell of old books, libraries and summer vacations. I've decided to get back to picking books off the shelf again.
Here's a tiny list of habits I THINK we should never grow out of, no matter how much technology advances:
1. Reading printed books (Not e-books)
2. Calling friends and family on their birthdays (no texting, social media wishes etc.)
3. Shopping at the super market for basic day to day groceries (Not online)
4. Watching movies at the cinema (instead of always watching them on Netflix)
5. Calling up your mum for recipes, basic hacks (not YouTube for how do I remove that stain)
6. Not using Wikipedia, google for simple things (it is okay to not know everything and be surprised when somebody shares knowledge with you)
7. Taking a stroll (why do we always need to walk so fast all the time!! Give me a break)
Please, please agree on at least some of them?
