“Are you in stress?” Karan trembled by this voice notification. This was eleventh time when he was revising the notification. He took his mobile. It was a stress relieving app advertisement. He opened the ad. A boy in suit said, “Are you in stress? Try our new stress relief app! We’ve different 30 tasks for you everyday which will help you to come out of stress & be relaxed. These tasks are defined by our expert clinical psychologists & are easy to do. Be our member in just 999/- & experience a stress less life. Win bonus points on suggesting & sharing this app. Hurry!” There was a QR code on the screen. Karan scanned the code & installed the app. As soon as he logged into the app, it sounded, “Hello Karan, let us take few permissions from you.” 1 of 69 : camera, 2 of 69 : contacts, 3 of 69 : multimedia, 4 of 69 : calender, 5 of 69 : alarm... Karan tired allowing them. He just clicked 'Allow all' & started the app.
Karan sat on ground. The mobile sounded, “Hello Karan, today we’ll practice meditation. Take a long breathe & try to concentrate. Focus on your breathing. We have a peaceful music for your help.” Music started & Karan closed his eyes. He focused on his breathing. Some time passed. Suddenly, the music corrupted & made a noise. Shocking with that, Karan ran away.
Karan sat on bed throwing towel in a corner. Soon mobile sounded, “Hello Karan, you must have exercised. There are some of yoga steps which will help your body to relax. All you have to do is just to follow our instructions. First of all, lie down on ground.” Karan copied that. Mobile sounded, “Now keep your left sole on right leg & look straight forward. Then keep your right sole on left leg & look straight forward. Then pass both of your hands below your knees & try to bend down. Now hold your ears with your hands & rub them slowly. Your body must be feeling relaxed now.” Karan shouted, “I’ve been locked, you fool!” He had been locked doing those steps. Mobile sounded, “These steps are different from one another. Seems that you’ve mistaken!”
Karan entered the kitchen yelling. He searched for something to eat as he was hungry. Soon his mobile sounded, “Hello Karan, are you in stress? We have some drinks which will help you to regulate the blood circulation & minimise stresses. You just need to follow our recipes.” Karan copied as the mobile said & made a drink. The drink itself seemed out of the box. Still, in order to regulate the blood circulation, Karan poured it into a glass. As soon as he took a sip of the drink, he vomited & threw all the drink in basin. Then he shouted on mobile, “This is worse than the worst!” Mobile sounded, “Seems that you’ve mixed two recipes together!” Karan threw the glass down.
Karan was in deep sleep. Soon the mobile sounded, “Are you in stress?” Karan waked up shockingly. Mobile continued, “If you’re unable to sleep because of your stresses, we have a task which will help you to take a deep sleep.” Karan pulled blanket over himself & left the mobile keep sounding.
Karan was on road. He had put earphones in his ears. The mobile sounded, “Hello Karan, seems you’re jogging. Experts say that a perfect walking affects your fitness. Now we’ll improve your steps while walking. According to your location, we’ve made a map for your walking. You just focus on your steps that they should be same & we’ll direct you on the map. Now walk straight for 50 steps.” Karan focused on his steps & started walking. Mobile asked Karan to turn right & walk for 150 steps. Karan copied that. Then mobile asked Karan to take a left & walk for 100 steps. Karan copied that. He was concentrated on his steps. Then mobile asked to turn left. Karan turned left & dashed to a wall. The mobile said, “Sorry, we mean right!” But till then, Karan had fallen down.
Karan was heading towards hospital in a cab. His forehead was bleeding by an injury. He said to the driver, “Brother, please do fast. It’s paining.” Soon mobile sounded, “Are you in stress?” Karan immediately saw in his mobile; but it wasn’t his notification. Karan saw forward. The driver took his mobile. His mobile sounded, “We’ll make your drive stress less. You just follow our instructions!” Karan remembered the point of sharing & suggesting the app. He screamed, “No!” Driver stopped the cab. Karan opened the door & ran away!
