Socializing & Disconnecting

Spent most of the day today being disconnected from my phone. First I had to powerwash my car because our road is being reconstructed and that caused a whole bunch of cement like material to stick under and sides of the car. It was raining and I was at my sister in laws house and since I don’t have a power wash, she does, it was a nice excuse to wash the car and the added benefit was it started pouring rain. It was actually very surreal moment. The feeling of the hard rain coming down and being out in the rain reminded me of my childhood in India.

Beyond the disconnection from digital, I was then able to socialize in a manner far more engaged than usual. When you don’t know where your phone is, life becomes quiet engaging and stressless.

I plan to be lost in life without my phone a lot going forward. No watch, no phone just physical world.

Cheers.
