Questioner: Good afternoon, sir. I am Kiran Mehta. Sir, because of the lockdown from past two years, we have been rigorously using cell phones or smartphones on laptops, way too much from 2020.

Questioner: Sir, like if you want to talk to people — we text them, we message them on social media. But when we in person meet them, we are very introverted or like we fear to talk to them, like even to ask how are you? Like even if teachers ask some, what is XYZ?

Acharya Prashant: So, you mean there is a loss of spontaneity?
