"We used to sit together and talk. Now, we sit together and text."
Every evening, the Sharma family had a ritual—chai and charcha (tea and discussions). The elders talked politics, kids shared school stories, and everyone enjoyed real conversations. But with time, things changed.
One evening, Ramesh, the eldest son, noticed something odd. The whole family was sitting in the same room—but nobody was talking. Instead, they were texting... on the family WhatsApp group!
“Arre! You’re sitting next to me! Why are you texting ‘Dinner ready?’” Ramesh scolded his wife.
His daughter giggled, “Papa, at least Dadi replied with a thumbs-up!”
Realizing how absurd it was, they decided to keep phones away during family time. The next day, conversations flowed like before—laughter, debates, and a sense of togetherness returned.
Moral: Technology should connect, not replace real conversations.
