Office perks are creative bondage stuff- you are enamored by the concept and fatally. You believe your office recognizes your expertise and talent and therefore giving you phones, laptops, cars etc. You feel motivated, what you forget is that it comes at great cost. Cost of personal things like small moments. With gadgets and perks, come the stupid deadlines, your physical tracking and the "URGENT MAILS". Yet the issue is not that simple- at every stage there is some more perk and some less freedom.
Mobiles phones are terrible things. You get paid a pittance
in form of reimbursement and you chose to give your all the time, resources and mood to anyone interested in hitting precisely 3 keys to make a call/mail.
Reimbursements are great relief and you enjoy those small back of the mind comforts where you gladly call your colleagues and share the fun of office without worrying much about the bills.
Electronic Perks specially are heights of stupidity- to borrow an equipment at the cost of your personal moments. One should enjoy such things more as a luxury than as
a necessity. Phone/Laptops/Pads are luxury not a necessity and hence shouldn't come at personal cost.
A beauty with the phone is that it makes us a multi-tasker and save us from those small uncomfortable moments when we are sharing a common space with a stranger where we need not talk to them yet might have to communicate if an uncomfortable amount of time passes!! Also if it comes with a great credit limit, even better and what if you get a communicator from office itself?!
In movie Ghost Rider(Nicolas Cage), he sells his soul to the devil to get what he want. He eventually gets what he wants, yet he lose his identity. May not be the best of bargain for most.
Gyaan Time- Peace is necessity- get back to
the old times- use things wisely and time poetically and priority wise!!
