I have been using a flip phone until the end of the year 2020.

 

 


 

 

Name: Swarnakumar

Age: 39

 Location: Bengaluru

 

1.    How long has it been since you quit social media?

 

I never ventured into that zone.

I like to avoid getting into things from which I cannot get out. Ultimately it is a part of the WEB, the World Wide Web 😊

 

2.    What are your hobbies?

 

I like to Read, Exercise, DIY (Right from the toilet flush to my Car)

 

3.    Have you ever felt left out in conversations among friends because you don’t use social media?

 

Yes, but it has more to do with the awareness of what is going around than not being on social media.

 

4.    During this pandemic did you ever feel like you want to get back on social media?

 

No

 

5.    How do you think social media is affecting the world today?

 

I think you can reach out to masses today because of social media. On one hand you can save a life by seeking help through social media on the other hand you can see elections and wars being manipulated via social media. It is a matter of choice.

 

6.    What are the major disadvantages you see in people addicted to social media?

 

For me addiction is addiction (there is no good or bad addiction) whether it is social media or coffee, once you are addicted you are a slave.

 

7.    What are the advantages you have over people who use social media?

 

I think I have the choice …

to see what I want to see

to hear what I want to hear

 

8.    What are your thoughts on YouTube?

 

For me as an individual, it is a vice.

 

I have time and again wasted a lot of time watching unprofitable things which I could have invested wisely. Since I have not overcome it, I am  facing difficulties helping my kids overcome it.

 

9.    Do you use a smartphone? If yes, would you shift completely to a Flip phone if given a chance?

 

I have been using a flip phone until end of 2020.

 

With digital payments happening over smartphones and the ease of accessing music, camera and online trainings etc I had to move to smart phones.

 

I am sure moving back to flip phones is no more possible.

 

10.Does technology simplify life or make it more complicated? Share your thoughts!

 

I think life is simplified

 

11.Do you think being inactive on social media affects your career growth? E.g.: Losing out on opportunities on LinkedIn.

 

No. Mainly because I believe in the saying “ I do not know what the future holds for me but I know who holds my future”

 

12.Describe your idea of a perfect day?

I can write a book over this 😊

 

13.What advice would you like to give the younger generation?

 

I am not yet wise enough to give advice.

 

14.Did the pandemic increase your overall time spent online?

 

Yes it did!

 

15.How much time per day do you spend online (Excluding work).  Eg: Reading a book online, Reading online news, DIY projects, Motivational videos, etc?


From 1 To 1.5 hrs. I want to reduce it to 15 mins

 

16. Do you use the Alarm Clock, Calendar, and To-do list(Notes) on your phone?

 

I use the alarm clock.

 

17.Would prefer to take photographs using a camera or your phone?

I would prefer a camera.

 

18.Do you watch movies/documentaries on Netflix/Hot star/Amazon Prime? If No do you feel it is a waste of time?

 

I do not watch movies and I feel I can invest the time for fruitful purposes

Follow your Passion, It will lead you to Success!

  Name: Bittu Jacob Owner of Baked for you by Bittu   1. Why did you pursue baking as career?   During my school days I enjoyed baking with my ‘Amma’. After getting married I used to bake occasionally at home and when we had guests at home.   On my son’s 5 th   birthday, I decided to make a fire truck shaped fondant cake. It was my very first attempt baking a fondant cake from scratch. When my family saw the cake they were quite impressed. To be honest the cake tasted lovely but it was not like those very neat fondant cakes . My family encouraged me to level up my skill by attending cake décor classes.       So I attended a class and learned the basics of cake decoration. Even at that point of time I never thought of taking this up professionally. That same year (2016) in the month of December my Appa asked me to bake 10 cakes to gift his friends. I was nervous about this but my Appa had full confidence in me. He convinced me to go ahead with it. And Guess what? It

The dot, turban and the hijab.

                                         It was another day at middle school. I still had not made any friends. Well , the truth is I really tried but no one  wanted to be my friend. It was lunch time and I was looking for a place to sit in the cafeteria. This is one thing I dread the most. Everyone had a group of friends of their own. The popular group sat in the corner. They were the cheerleaders, basketball players, kids with good looks (most of them wore makeup so cannot really tell if they were really good looking) and then there were the rich kids who only wore only branded clothes , shoes.  I certainly did not belong there because I didn’t have the skinny body type which those cheerleaders had. Forget sports. I cannot even do ten push-ups straight. I wore clothes which I got on sale from JCpenny and not Armani, Gucci or Nike. When it came to looks neither did i  wear fake lashes nor did I have hair extensions.  I did not have a tongue piercing, ta
