I wish you all the luck. I was offline for nearly two weeks, except for the times when I needed some document stored in my e-mails. I didn't chk blogs or for that matter any other sites. I was off it. Instead I spent some real good time on the streets of Kolkata, relfecting on how things have changed in the past 7 years, driving around and painfully realising why Kolkata traffic is among the worst I have encountered till date, visting my old school, meeting up friends from yesteryears. It was good. And it was all offline :)
as for leading an unhealthy lifestyle, don't most of us do that? We manage to blame many a things for that, but rarely do we take steps to correct it!! rarely..

Anyways thinking these days to converge all of them. yeah will keep an ete on BA blog, but would like to meet u in person some time, let me know when u r free.

--> thecancerous and Reena: We generally do it because it has become a habit to keep staring at the computer screen all the time. That's what happened with me so one day I decided to go offline and it has helped. Now planning to stay offline atleast once a week.

Great concept, taking time off your computer. I like the idea of taking a day off in a week, sort of computer fast. Computers are driving us crazy aren't they?

--> Cyborg: 4 blogs are still fine but 4 mail ids, how many roles are you playing in life??? We all are trying to simplify things a bit but somehow end up complicating them further. Oh good you are interested in Business Analyst activities. Keep an eye on the BA blog, I aim to keep updating it often.

2008-07-25T14:39:00.000+05:30

Hey Tarun, you have hit bulls eye :))
U might be shocked to learn that I spend approx 3 hours on maintaining my 4 mail ids and my 4 blogs. Its really taking a toll on me. I am neither able to concentrate on my studies nor on my web ventures.
And Incidentally I was going to write on the same lines, but was feeling lazy to write about.

Hence I have being giving time to make a schedule kind of a thing so that I know what to post when. :))

I am definitely looking forward for your BA blog.

2008-07-23T21:25:00.000+05:30

--> Ram: Do try it Ram, it will surely benefit you. I am thinking of having a day off(line) in a week. Just like some people fast once a week, I will be off my laptop once a week.

--> Rahul: Thanks!

--> Bhavya: Thanks!

--> Vijay: Thanks!

--> Ben: Thanks for the appreciation, I am still an amateur photographer. I love taking pics but right now I want to focus more on the Marathon preparation. May be yes I can do photography on the day I will be off my laptop. Thanks Ben!

--> Gaurav: I happen to be writing on 9 blogs though not regularly, but on these 3 I would like to be regular. But the idea is not to spend too much time on them, otherwise I will stop (at-least that's what I am thinking).

--> Rohit: I happen to be spending too much time on my laptop and that's why i decided to take a break. It has done wonders and has given me a lot of time to do other things.

--> Manjari: Yes I am running the Mumbai Marathon (got myself registered yesterday) will keep a log of activities on the Healthy Living Blog. Book, I have a huge list of books to read and huge stack of books on my table to finish (sounds like work). I read My Experiments with Truth - by M.K.Gandhi" last year and it is really an amazing book. I wrote a post about my conversations with Mahatma Gandhi after reading the book, though I was suppose to write a follow up on that post but it never moved out of draft. Hey, are you running in the Mumbai Marathon?

Hmmmm.... need activities to stay offline?Remember...

2008-07-21T20:05:00.000+05:30

Hmmmm.... need activities to stay offline?
Remember you said you would definitely join Mumbai Marathon in 2009?....what happened to that...why not start a fitness regime right away and also urge your friends and family to join in!
And also good books - recently read "My Experiments with Truth - by M.K.Gandhi" & "City of Fear - by Robin David"...they are great reading!!!

2008-07-21T12:05:00.000+05:30

I have tried this exercise (intentionally/unintentionally) and the max i was able to survive was one and half day.

During this time I was able to access a bit of Internet via the crappy GPRS on my phone.

Yes Tarun, we people cannot live without Internet now.
