Mornings have always been an important part to begin one's day. And it becomes more special if it starts without a mobile phone. One will get to know how much we are addicted to the most popular or rather the innovative creation a 'Mobile phone' by spending the first couple of minutes rather an hour of our morning without it. Thought of not having your mobile in your first hour since you woke up might feel like someone has spoilt your morning; as one has important messages to answer, to greet someone a sweet Good Morning, and even like some people who spent more than half an hour watching Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Though these social medias has narrowed the miles but broadened family lives.


Don't know from where it came to my mind and made me to start my today's morning atleast few hours without using a Mobile phone. Unlike today's morning, all my mornings have been like doing nothing worthy but spending time to check my messages and people's posts. You know, my daily schedule is like to get awake by 8, cleaning some stuffs and dressing up for 9 to 5, here in my case it's 10:30-8:30. And in the middle of that, after each activity, I used to check my phone out. Resultant along maintaining my daily activities, phone became inseparable part of my morning, which could have been avoided for some time. So not to follow daily legacy, I decided to make my today's morning and further ones actually "Good".


I hid my phone along with my siblings phone. I thought let them suffer too. What a cruel sister I was! But on a serious note, I loved my morning without having a bit inclusion of phone, my sisters took this step of mine in a very offensive way. They boycotted my action, and I expected this from them. If you are habituated for a thing and you didn't get it when you have asked for it, even begged for then one can expect disagreement and disrespect from anyone. I took it gracefully. And this whole lesson ended up with the saving of almost an hour of mine along with my sisters'.


Initially they attempted to search for their Mobiles, they wafted entire house. One of my sister even checked in refrigerator. How silly her action sounded like! But if you are desperate enough for something, you can't resist yourself for trying the silliest thing to grab it. After attempting a lot, they settled for following my suggestion to clean the mess and then enjoy the space. Being a good and responsible sister, after they were done with their stuff I gave them their and me my phone back. After doing this whole thing I felt proud of myself. And let me tell you, my morning without warming my hands with handy became a good idea. The quarrel between me and my sisters went over and finally a habit for making our morning actually 'Good' started developing. This was a small step that we can try to bridge the gap between LIVE communication. The invention of the cell phones was made to SHORTen the long-distance, but who knows that it can even attempt to make the short distance, LONG.


I was actually a well established Sudoku player and used to spent my mornings by solving a puzzle of sudoku, which newspaper companies started to publish to groom a child's knowledge, during my school and college days. But since my father gifted me my first mobile and I came in contact with Whatsapp, till yesterday checking my mobile was the initial thing from where I began my morning. From today onwards I've taken up a challenge to spend at least 1 whole hour without my phone not for even listening to music and to make it successful, I'm going to hide every phone except 1 to a place far away from anyone's attention. I'm going to continue this until the habit of not using one's phone started developing in me and my sisters' minds. If you are also the kind of person like we are, then I would suggest you too to take this challenge and try to spend your first hour without it, I swear you will going to like this, when this hour may contribute to your fitness or maybe taking out your handy radio which was placed at some corner of your house or maybe you can help your mom in the kitchen and many more things you can do. Then one can say it proudly, a Good Morning!
