Eureka!!

It's become impractical to spend some time "thinking" on your own. The tv, internet and the cell phones are full time companions, constantly bombarding us with tons of information and ideas. We compulsively seek out to them, quite often when we are alone. I cant think of any part of my day spent quietly, without these distractions. Learning to live with invasive power of technology has become an ordeal. They cloud your mind with sometimes useful, but invariably useless thoughts, that we struggle to come out of this net to engage in some "active thinking". Completely shunning them, is not a feasible way out. But we can consider, cutting off some time away.

It's difficult to make a conscious decision to choose a place to isolate ourselves, but one ideal place i can think of seclusion from the triplets ( tv, internet and cell phone) is the bath room ( well, i'm not talking about people who carry their phones with them when taking a shower)..As ridiculous as it may sound, it's with fresh burst of water from the shower, i do my planning for the day, uninterrupted. The thoughts flow seamlessly, sans intrusions and when you step out, you realize that the entire day's work can be smoothly planned out. Working out a routine day's work at home, preparing a mental task schedule for your work place, or simply indulging in some creative thinking can all be done in the serene confines of the bathroom. It could well be a hub for origin of brilliant ideas and discoveries. So, next time you take a bath, put on your thinking cap and watch out for the "Eureka" moment.:)
