Unplug — the perfect holiday

Thirty days, a new sim card, no social apps. A case for unplugging — because almost everything works again if you do.

How I would describe my life till now — A Chaos!!

Everyone wants to have this so-called perfect life, of course the definition of perfect differs based on each individual.

Working towards this perfect life, an individual is so busy in his daily routine that he does not realize that he has been in this routine for a very long time and it has become his life now. This routine makes so many dependencies around you that you become a prisoner of your own goals and the faith of people around you.

Every now and then people take holidays with family/friends/solo to get out of this routine but there is always this dependency that does not make them free.

Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for few minutes, including you.

Inspired by the above quote, I named this perfect holiday as 'Unplug'. A 30-day unplanned vacation with a new sim card on your mobile phone and no social apps installed. The new sim card brings you out of the world of dependency and removing social apps kicks out your tendency to show the world how happening your life is.

Roam around the places just like old times' sake, with nothing planned upfront, just connecting with the locals and discovering new places on your own. Enjoy the kind of life without technology being the driving factor.

Live these 30 days with no rush on your mind to finish all the different fantasy points at a destination, stay as long as you want until your mind says you're done with that location.

Return to your normal routine with all the memories of these 30 days where you flew like a free bird without being a prisoner to expectations.

Unplug yourself, everything will work again for you!!
