I am too busy, completely occupied with work or making it seem so. The other day, I asked my daughter for “Right Click” when I meant to ask for her “Right Hand”. That was terrible.<\/p>\n

During the Diwali week, I happened to watch the\u00a0interview of the famous nutrition expert, Ms. Rujuta Diwekar<\/a>\u00a0on Television. Apart from many good things she mentioned about lifestyle, one thing in particular was leaving aside electronic gadgets 1 hour prior to sleep. According to Rujuta, this helps in getting\u00a0better sleep and fights insomnia.<\/p>\n

While I was doing okay with sleep, the idea of disconnecting certainly sounded great.\u00a0Easier\u00a0said than done, I thought. I need to find out the Art of Disconnecting!<\/p>\n

We live in a forever connected world. If there is no email, Facebook notification or a Whatsapp message, it would seem like lost.\u00a0With services\u00a0being accessed from smartphone, we\u00a0carry reading and chitchatting right till we sleep. So how does one get disconnected? Is it that a greater addiction? Is the world going to miss you if you are offline?<\/p>\n

The benefits were immediately visible:<\/p>\n
