THE HEALTH CHRONICLE
DIGITAL DETOX
Posted by Rahul John on Thursday, 3rd July 2025
Why We All Need to Unplug Sometimes
Welcome back, readers. This week we are going to reflect on the need for detoxing digitally. For
those who detox and cleanse their bodies at regular intervals, this term may sound familiar. But
for those who do not, let me explain what it connotes. Just like the body, our mind also gets
cluttered with constant use of mobile phones.
Digital detoxing entails intentional distancing from screens and other such devices to allow
yourself to experience real-life. Have you ever reached for your phone and forgotten why? I
have, more times than I would like to admit. It is as if our screens have become a third limb, and
honestly, it is exhausting.
The Digital Drain
Scrolling endlessly does not leave me relaxed. It leaves me restless. A few minutes on
Instagram turns into an hour. The funny thing? I do not even remember what I saw. It is like junk
food for the brain - tasty but empty.
What Happens When You Disconnect This weekend, I distanced myself from the phone. A
weekend without screens gave me a fresh kind of freedom. I woke up and looked out of
my window instead of reaching out for my phone. I went for a walk without sharing it on
Instagram. I used a dictionary while reading instead of using Google’s brain. I read a book
without checking my notifications. I felt relaxed.
Try It. Just Once.
Give yourself a digital detox day. Just one. The world will not end, but you might find a little
more of yourself in the silence. Disconnect to reconnect with yourself.
Share your thoughts on the post and experiences on logging off.

Lost in the Beauty of Hampi: A Journey through Time
Posted by Roaming Rahul on Thursday, 3rd July 2025
Welcome back, wanderers! Continuing with the series of travel, let me take you on a ride
to Hampi that I visited in the last week of June.
When you step into Hampi, it feels like the earth whispers stories from a thousand years ago. I
had seen pictures, but nothing prepared me for the real thing.
Located in Karnataka, Hampi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Ruins of ancient temples and
palaces are scattered across hills of giant boulders. The silence of the stone corridors, broken
only by birdsong and the occasional monkey, made me feel like I had travelled back in time.
Climbing Matanga Hill at 5 a.m. in the dark was a challenge, but the sunrise? Breathtaking. As
the golden light fell over the Tungabhadra River and lit up the ruins below, I understood why
poets write about dawn.
What surprised me most was the friendliness of the locals. Whether it was the auto driver telling
stories of kings or the temple priest offering sweet ‘prasadam’, everyone had something to share.
I also tried banana leaf meals and let us just say I am still dreaming about that ‘sambar’.
• Best time to visit: October to February
• Wear comfortable shoes—lots of walking!
• Do not forget to carry a water bottle and a wide-brimmed hat
Hampi is not just a destination - it is a feeling. It is where the past greets you gently, and the
present slows down to meet it. If you ever need a place to pause and reflect, I cannot think of a
better spot.
