Data abundance is the new normal in India today. Reliance Jio has disrupted the telecom market like never before resulting in a free flow of internet on handheld devices. The entire math of how to run a telecom company in India has been changed with free calls and free data.
The effects of this abundance are pretty evident everywhere. Rinku gets jittery if the internet does not work. My plan to get rid of wi-fi connection at home has faced a lot of resistance by Rinku and Ridhima. Ridhima does not eat if she is not streaming YouTube videos. We have faced her wrath when the wifi was not working and let me tell you it is not a happy scene.
When Larry Page, the co-founder of Google said 'Internet will become invisible' I didn't understand the meaning of it then. Now I know, what exactly he meant. The omnipresence of a thing makes it invisible, just like the air around us we breathe.
Ridhima is all wake up and is negotiating with her Mom to be close to her till she completely gets off the bed. She is an intelligent girl of ours but her tantrums have no end to it. She sometimes becomes so stubborn that we start worrying. When she needs a thing, she needs it, come whatever may. She knows more than she is supposed to. Her vocabulary has gone to another level leaving little that she cannot talk about. She knows how to be extra sweet and snatch the phone in order to see YouTube videos or her favorite cartoon. She paints a lot almost all her books and all our walls have become a canvas of her creativity. Are we complaining!
By next month she will complete her playschool and will start going to her new school. She is all prepared.
I was watching this video (below) last evening where the speaker is making a point that comfort will stall your progress. I am sure it is gonna be worth your while.
