Yesterday when I went out on my regular sales calls, I left my mobile in the office itself and trust me what a day it was!!! Amazing.
At first when I found out that my mobile phone is not in my purse I was slightly worried. Then I called office to check. My colleague confirmed that it was lying there. Great. I told her, whosoever calls, tell them that I left my cell at office so cannot be contacted now. Whew..I almost forgot how was it when there was no mobile phone! Still we managed to stay connected. Yesterday, I was away from the sometimes annoying sound of my cell phone. Only worry was Head Office; what if anyone called. He/She will call once and at the most leave a message. Will reply later, I decided to enjoy my sudden found sense of freedom. Freedom from the constant tring tring, freedom from the sense of constantly being watched over..it was so good.
When I got back to office, there was no missed call as my colleague had picked up the calls. There was only one call from HO & when Boss knew about it, he just hang up saying..” Lucky girl!”..Boss why dont you also try doing that!!! What say..
We can understand that freedom. 1st week of December went to 10 day “Vipassana” Mediation course (www.dhamma.org). As a part of discipline , we had NO laptop, phone , TV , News Paper …..and need to keep “Noble Silence” (means silence of body, speech, and mind) like Buddhist monk. After having experience, i can understand, how calm and free one feel without cell phone /gadget.
Nice picture btw,
Great! You know the trick now
And I hope you haven”t kept a nice caller tune also 
But some times, we do receive urgent messages also, do you keep 2 phones? Some people I know keep 2, they do somehting with the official one after office hours and keep personal number on check.. (Rahul)
