We are addicted to our smartphones and that's a fact none can deny!

No one talks about how much our devices have become automatic extensions of ourselves.

The stats are staggering:

📱 As per reports, we check our phones 96 times daily

😴 Screen time is messing with our sleep (50% less melatonin!)

💔 73% of couples say technology interferes with their quality time

But here’s the thing - I don’t believe the solution is throwing our phones into a drawer and going off-grid.

We need these tools for work, staying connected, and managing our lives.

After spending hours reading different articles and reports, I recently published a comprehensive guide on finding that sweet spot:-

Being intentional with technology instead of being controlled by it.

The guide covers everything from: 👇

- Creating healthy boundaries at work
- Digital wellness strategies for families.
- Plus, there’s a quick self-assessment to help you identify your specific challenges.

If you’ve ever felt like your phone controls you more than you control it, this might help: https://bit.ly/3Fijyxq

खुश वो भी ना थे, हम भी ना थे,
मिलकर एक दूजे से एक कहानी बना गए…

We’ve all seen that follows rules...

But what about AI that thinks for itself?

👉 A self-driving car that reroutes without asking.
👉 A chatbot that doesn’t just reply but solves problems.
👉 A factory that detects a breakdown before it happens.

That’s Agentic AI—and it’s already reshaping industries.

From Healthcare predicting diseases to Finance fighting fraud, this isn’t sci-fi. It’s happening right now...

But what’s the catch? Bias, accountability, job shifts—the stakes are real.

I’ve broken it all down (no jargon, no fluff) in my latest substack post.

Give it a read, and let’s talk about where AI is headed.
