Enlightenment of Ramesh Esq. (Esq. = Endlessly Scrolling Questions)

Ramesh had FOMO so strong, his phone had a six-pack from the stress.

*FOMO* means Fear Of Missing Out 

— FOMO is the feeling that others are enjoying something and you’re not part of it.

It happens when:

  You see fun posts on social media.

  You feel left out or behind.

  You feel sad or anxious.

  You keep checking who viewed your status or feel bad if someone didn’t

Every weekend? Overbooked like an overachieving octopus.

• 🎉 Friday: Party at Neha’s.

• 🥑 Saturday: Brunch with people he didn’t like.

• 🧘 Saturday PM: Yoga (he thought “savasana” meant “Snapchat break”).

• 📹 Sunday: Family Zoom — where Aunties grilled him harder than a paneer tikka.

Then disaster struck: 

his phone died. And his charger? 

It was last seen in a cousin’s glove box on the way to Bhutan.

🧠 Cue: Full-blown existential meltdown.

No memes. No pings.

No "bro, you coming?"

But then he saw his neighbor, Miss. JOMO [ joy of missing out ]
sitting on her balcony like a Zen goddess who accidentally joined a tea cult. ☕🧘‍♀️

She wore mismatched socks that looked like they’d fought in different laundromats,
her phone was on airplane mode — on purpose (the audacity!),
and she was sipping chai like it held the secrets of the universe 

FOMO RAMESH stared, confused...

“ Is she… okay? 

Is she Normal ? "

FOMO is ignorant about JOMO's world and 

JOMO is unfamiliar with FOMO's world 

Slowly In the stillness, he noticed…

✨The breeze.

✨His breath.

✨And his fridge, humming what could only be described as 

"Coldplay for dairy."

He made chai. Sat down like JOMO
And for the first time in forever…

He did nothing & he felt everything.

💬  Deep Moral:

Sometimes the best party is your own brain, unplugged. Because peace isn’t found in your inbox

 —It’s in your exhale.

🧠 What Psychology says ?

In a world wired for distraction, Ramesh’s panic revealed the truth:

✨ Emotional overload mimics anxiety.
✨ Stillness reveals clarity.
✨ JOMO = self-care + sanity.

“Almost everything works again if you unplug it for a few minutes…........................

including you.” – Said Anne Lamott

So if your nervous system is fried…

Power down.
Breathe deep.
And maybe…
Listen to your cool part of fridge. 🧊🎶
