3 बजे की स्क्रीन: डिजिटल शोर के खिलाफ मौन प्रतिरोध

मुझे स्पष्टता से याद है—मेरा लैपटॉप का blue light, कालिख में पवित्र मंदिर की मशाल की तरह। मध्यरात्रि से परे, मैं कोई गेम नहीं, कोई kerja nahi karta tha. Bas… dekh raha tha। प्रत्येक flicker, हर pattern —एकदम unnoticeable for koi aur.

उस पल मुझे समझ aaya: loneliness हमेशा loud nahi hoti। Kabhi kabhi wo silence hoti hai jab aap bahut scroll kar chuke hote ho, jaise aapke fingers ruk gaye par dimag abhi bhi chal raha ho.

Maine kabhi socha tha ki digital noise se bhagna matlab apps band karna, profile delete karna, notifications off karna. Lekin sachchi azadi? Woh chhodne ki nahi—baat yeh hai ki aap apni presence ko kaise choose karte ho.

Maine chhoti-chhoti baatein notice karne shuru ki: ek pixel bhi ek invitation lagta; ek delayed message poore inbox se zyada value rakhta; beep ke beech ke silence sacred lagta.

Hamare culture mein constant output ka dabaav hai—aur stillness feel hota hai radical. Lekin agar humara goal sirf perform karne ka nahi balki simply being present hona to?

Yeh addiction ya detox nahi hai। Yeh attention ko apne upar wapas lena hai—not as productivity tool, but as an act of love for self.

Ab main apni bed ke paas ek notebook rakhta hoon—sirf ek page। Koi rules nahi। Koi goals nahi। Sirf jo bhi aaye: thoughts jo posts mein fit na ho sakte hain, emotions jo stories ke liye kamzor hain, dreams jo shares ke liye thoda fragile hain.

Yeh saaf nahi hai. Lekin yeh sachchai hai.

Aur shayad wohi kaafi hai.

Aapko pata hai woh pal jab aap apne soch ke saath akela ho—and suddenly wo alive feel hoti? Wahan hi meaning grow hoti hai.

Toh aaj raat… scrolling ki jagah suno:

• Apne aap ko,
• Sab kuch ke neeche waali dhadkan ko,
• Jo baat aap bolna chahte the lekin dar kar chhod di thi—kyunki lagta tha wo zyada hogi?

Kyunki mera yeh samajh aa gaya: you don’t need to be complete to be seen. you don’t need to perform to belong. you just need to be here—with all your unpolished edges—and let someone else see you too.
