Say No To Multitasking




I would like to highlight the drawbacks of Implementing Multitasking in real life. The stress will be on Mobile Phones, Hazards of using it while driving. Most of us believe that driving and speaking over the phone go together but actually it is not so. I just now read an article and that is the reason for this Post!! “Humans can’t do multitasking”—result of research conducted by scientists. This article that I read reminded me of an incident. Before five months when I was in Bangalore, two of my friends had come for an interview and stayed with me. I along with my roomies and my friends were returning home. We were six and hence we had to take two autos. Luggages of my friends were put up in both the auto rikshaws. We were showing them Bangalore and finally reached home. When we were getting down, I could hear “irava pagala” song…huh…that was my mobile!! That was a call for my friend from her mom. She was in the other auto which was just coming. I asked aunty to hold on and gave her the mob even before she got down. She was busy speaking over the phone and I was busy bargaining and Finally none of us noticed her luggage in the Auto. She too totally forgot about it .We realized it after ten minutes and were helpless. We had not noted down the auto number also (None of us do it when we get into an auto…but it’s very important to do so!!) ..With Neighbour’s help we registered a complaint in the near by police station. She had come for an interview. Her lucky dress, Mobile and few study materials and 3500 rs money missing…All of us were totally down but we had to think about alternatives. Started thinking about dress for her interview n stuffs. We had to start cooking also .We convinced ourselves and started cooking. After some time we could hear “pom pom ” Sound.There stood the Auto walah with her bag!!!We were really happy and surprised to see him!!He asked us to check the bag and asked for some money.We were so thankful to him and hence paid him what he deserved!We were smiling at each other and started eating the fantastic dosas made by us!! (You have to agree !! ha ha )..Friends, Please don’t use mobile phones when u r driving or crossing the road!!
