As a part of my ‘Self-Search’ program ( Ye , I do that once in a while ) , I had the internet at my place disconnected for over 2 weeks.I wanted to know what it would be to be a webmaster with no web any more .It was hard .
A person like me who spends over 3 hours of his day on the internet doing and searching stuffs was THIRSTY for internet now .It was more like a ‘ fish being removed from water ‘ kind of feeling in the initial days .But later on I just accepted the fact there was no getting around this one .
I actually was surprised to see how much more free time I had . I had time to do stuffs which I would nver do eitherwise .I used to sleep only 5 hours a day and now I slept 7 .It was actually nice , Feeling a lot more at ease than before .
Though I am getting Back my internet by today , most probably .Using internet is not gonna be same any more .
Life with out internet was a Successful experiment .
yea…i tried this sometime back too…and yes, the feeling is pretty good
although l8r when i actually came back online everyone was like “where the fuck have you been man?!!” hehe
ever since i’ve been getting out more and having more fun…and if ever the need arises i can always jus pullout my cellphone to check my email.
in the interest of being able to contact ppl WITHOUT the internet i make it a point to get ppls numbers (the ppl who aren’t in a habbit of stalking and calling/smsin every 5mins:P )
btw…care to share a lil more detail of your experiment?!
