đ meet the distracted family
The Sharma family lived in a cozy little house. Mr. Sharma was a hardworking father, Mrs. Sharma a caring mother, and their two children, Rohan and Meera, were bright students. But there was one thing they all had in commonâa growing addiction to their mobile phones.
Every evening, they would gather in the living room, but instead of talking, everyone would stare at their screens. Mr. Sharma scrolled through work emails, Mrs. Sharma watched cooking videos, Rohan played games, and Meera updated her social media profiles. Conversations were reduced to a few murmurs and absent-minded nods.
One evening, there was a sudden power outage. With no Wi-Fi or mobile chargers working, the family found themselves in complete darkness. Frustrated, they sat in silence until Meera found an old candle and lit it.
"What do we do now?" Rohan groaned, clutching his phone that had just died.
"How about we talk?" suggested Mrs. Sharma, smiling hesitantly.
The family laughed awkwardly but soon started sharing storiesâMr. Sharma talked about his childhood games, Mrs. Sharma shared funny incidents from her college days, and the kids joined in with their school stories.
Hours passed, and for the first time in years, the Sharma family laughed, bonded, and enjoyed each otherâs company without the distraction of screens. When the power finally came back, no one rushed to their phones.
From that day on, they decided to have one "No-Mobile Night" every week to spend quality time together.
Their bond grew stronger, and the family realized that while technology connects the world, itâs the people in your home that truly matter.
Moral: Balance is keyâdonât let technology overshadow real connections.
