It’s an age-old theme
of making notes to remember , our grandmothers use to tie Knots to their sari
palav, I had my own Granny doing it , later I saw my mother writing on Calendar’s,
those times we always had a one month plain date calendar which had good space to mark and write too .
The calendar literally would be full of ‘Pay the Dhobi’, Calling Pammi Masi for
the recipe, Children’s fees and so on
When we grew up we went into the world of ‘Archie’ and
‘Satyam’ shops that had these cute. handy note books , I remember jotting down
some lines I liked , the recipe a friend
told , so basic those born in the 70-80’s will remember this. We still a
generation who worked with a pen and paper.
Now is the era of technology , and we have the Y generation ,
they have their smartphones , iPhones other gadgets ,which have these easy
accessible icons where at a touch of the icon you can store a lot and you have
the information on the GO .
But is that progressive, did out Grannies and Mother’s
forget? Did they find it cumbersome to
write? Here we are not saying technology is bad it is a boon, but what I think is
it has taken the human touch out of it, we say HBD on social media where
earlier we used visit each other. Technology has brought us near with the cord,
but we have been cut away from the umbilical cord. Think.
Now that we have embraced technology, let me help you to give
yourself some positive vibes, plus reminders to yourself, we rarely have the
time to stop, think, dream, right. Use your password as a reminder, simple if
there is something that needs to be done, just make that as your password. Like ‘GOFORAWALK@SOON’,
‘YOUNEEDTOLOOSE@WEIGHT’, TAKEABREAK@INAWHILE.
It works believe me; remember the amount of times you need to
type the password. It can be reminder ones too like ‘2Months28Oct@puctobedone’.
‘Appointment20Sep@Dentist’, try it.
