20 Days without touching Laptop

After a long break, I was able to manage to set up my own office (moving to new home and settling things with arrangement are tiresome and long.)

But I am happy after all these done. And got a tiny-winy time for single post. I hope I will be happy as I will read this in the future.

Day 7–Re-activation and tighten the privacy

OK, I should admit more tighten the privacy helps me to come back and given me more control over the things. Before it was not there. Not as I wanted. But now it is there and I am fiddling a bit with it. See what comes next?

Day 6– What if Social Networks start demanding for ransom? Be afread of …

Well today I have received an email from Google Apps store and telling me that now I will no longer able to use it for free. (F@*k you bloody bast%^%d). Yes, I would like to share it here. Sooner or later you all are going to get the same and I knew it.

Here is original email.

Would you consider paid social network? Hell No, why? Be ready it is going to come.

Day 5: Without social networks- breaking the ice and set it free

Yes, today is fifth day, and I have no soft attachment to social networks. I can live without it. Separation from it, is so powerful then anything. I am now more aware then ever. And finding more and more happiness and real people and meet them, knowing them, getting balance with work, home and social. Life has more things then social networks, off course social network has so much influence nowadays that you can ever imagine. I don’t want to talk about their power, rather I would like to talk about how to be safe. At some point, all of us felt that “enough is enough," that is the point where you start hating them and want to burn it out with your frustration. However, later its also like ‘love-hate’ kind of game. Believe it or not they knew it so that you remember their power. And they have not been ashamed of it. Silly.

Now this is how I did it. Give yourself 10 days and just detached yourself from it and see the difference. Feel the change inside and outside. This is it. No to mention that they want every piece of you and your brain –to sell you, command you to spend and talk more about it –very loud and intense. Breaking this ice is not that easy but tried it for once and try it again. Just make a mental note that you are not going to be a slave of those social networks. When something you read or do, be more conscious about your unconscious mind, do not let them control your mind and that awareness will give you power to detach from it without any pain.

Set yourself free.

 

Day 4: Understanding psychology of Social Network and Controlling (Influence) Peoples

Social Networks – Humm… why every social networks are offering free membership? And by doing that what will they gain in no free lunch world? Answer to this, may make you think about it or maybe not. Try to find out what exactly they are doing with you. Yes, the lead starts with you, not me not them. “So what, does it matter to me?” If not, then don’t read further and just be slaved to social networks and get out of here and stuck your dick head to the social networks.

OK if you are reading to continue, now, first of all, always keep in mind nothing in these worlds come free. Everything has its own purpose.Bear in mind that I am not against them. I am just trying to make you aware of the fact about the choices you never make. “You are insane" yes you may moan about me. Behind the scene, what they gain is “Your friends, families and your own behaviour, habits and most importantly your buying and choice patterns, your psychology to control you by your emotions and giving you nothing but influence with advertisements and other unseen nasty things.” At this moment check your browser histories and check your temporary files, open those mysterious files. Why on the earth, they need to create them in first place every time you almost visit to those sites? I am not wanted to argue with any geek who tries to explain me their purposes.

Maybe, it would be nice to have a simple paragraph which explains and assured you that they will not try to manipulate your mind by bombarding anything, which may cause or effect to your choices before I sign up for these. That would be like real fairy tell. I bet they just can’t do that. That is for sure.That explains a lot.

Ciao.

Are you Being Squeezed by Social Media?

by lissnup

Facebook has made several radical changes to support its drive to increase revenue. Twitter is on the same path. But have they tipped the balance and found your breaking point yet? Dangerous Minds has written a lengthy and eloquent complaint about how Facebook is deliberately “broken” so that your posts are held hostage unless you [...]

Day 3– Say No to Social Networks–increased my creativity and productivity

Today is third day without any social networks, and I am a long survivor. Hail yeah. I have more time for other social activities and more time for a kid. Mind is free from any influences, no bombarding emails, junks or no fear of tracking someone your habits or being suffocated by the nasty privacy policies. No more "Google+" evil. Hail yes.

So where is the proof of creativity. Well, If you notice for past four days, I am posting to my website without fail. And I felt refreshing after work. I have my own moments, and I am really enjoying it. Developing a habit of being productive and creative is not easy. Especially you could easily be distracted by those Social
networks. However, I am happy as free bird. Be fearless. 

Ideally, I would like to achieve something consistent and pervert the habit. Break the course and awaken my mind from the unconscious marketing dilemma (nothing more than influence, which take over my
choices and put it to practice to be more in control consciously.)

Peace.

Day 2: Winning over being isolated without social networks

Today is second day without Facebook, twitter or Google+ or any kind of social network. Some may find it quite shocking and believe that I am going to be isolated and suffered without friendly contacts. Well, I agree to some extend about their fear, but as I can see it as to come out from addiction, and some point you felt like you will be completely isolated from the world around. Here I am not afraid to make such a drastic decision on the what is needed to be done. I want to free from the influences, and that is only my concerns. I am not against them, neither I intend to do so. I am just wanted to be freer and not want to suffocate by the unconscious marketing tactics which make me feel daft and non-sense with bombard of adverts. Once again, I would like to remind that how unethical to make some ones mind with such a big influence that will choose something for you without even your acceptance. Believe or not ,but the fact is well hidden that you become a product which is going to be sold. These so-called social networks are playing with human minds to make them slave and regardless of say that we are not even aware of it. We are just being ships and following what others make us to follow. Silly. Wake up guys, if you are reading this, then stop and think for a minute what exactly I am talking about.

Today’s question: How many times have you talked to your friends in person in a week? No, Try this once, this week meet your friend personally and talked to them,spend some time with friends. Feel the difference. Stop wasting time around these silly networks which has no value, no real gain, and nothing to offer and stop to let them take over your mind. Set yourself free.

Peace.

Day 1 – Say “No to facebook, google+, twitter and any social network”

Say no to social network. “Are you insane? How can you survive? It’s insane, mad and crazy decision to take.”, my wife said. Yes and I did it. I have been temporary deactivated Facebook, Twitter and Google+ account. It was not bad at all. However, after that I felt ‘Oh, My God’ kind of feelings. And once I settled down. I have felt exactly the same who has been slaved for three years, and now he is free like a bird. Well let me clear. What was the idea behind taking this drastic act? My intention is to justify my belief that we are becoming additionally proactively slaves of those so-called social networks which I think nothing more than a gossip cheap tabloids that socially influenced choices of an individual with nasty tactics to sell their goods and services. Deep down, these, I felt so unethical and wrong. Yes, you read it.

I believe that everyone has their own freedom and free from any kind of slavery. In reality, ask yourself, “Are we really free?” No we are not. We are very much addicted to these so-called socialism networks, and they played tactical. Unconsciously, we are following what they have decided to do with you, without even you know that they are driving you. You are no longer making choices. They have already chosen (decided) what is best for you. And blindly we are all following the same path without even thinking for a moment about the choices. The choices that you have never made or think of it. I have noticed it that after when it was affecting too much to my creativity and my productiveness, I haven’t seen such a single person who is very creative and productive, addictive to these social networks. Well, I can say that they are not attached to it. They might be using it wisely, but I am not convinced. So I have decided to give up these social networks and be real and set myself free from any influences.

From today, I am going to write what I have gained and lost. I will note it here and write it as I felt and share on my blog. I know my blog is neither that popular nor I am after to make it well-liked. I am writing this for those want to be unattached from social slavery. And if you think you have become a slave and want to set free, then just act and stop using those social networks and focus on what exactly you want to be. Please do not let social networks choose behalf of you. Please awake from hypnotic state of social networks and be real.

Peace.

Ravi.
