I vividly remember the time when I was in 12th standard back in 2014. We all student we had a two month of holiday but we were not allowed to go to our hometown because we were supposed to prepare for our exam during our vacation time in the hostel itself. So the restriction which was enforced is not to use our mobile phone during our study period. However some student might use it during that period of time but there was teachers who were on duty to see whether the students are using phones or not. But that experience made me realize that it is better not to use your phone during studying time because it will definitely disrupt whatever you're studying and learning. It will definitely distract you from anything that you're doing. It was kind of hard for all of us but somehow we managed manage that situation and we all got a good marks in our exam by following this instruction.

How did you feel about the phone restriction at that time?
Initially, I felt frustrated because I was used to having my phone for communication and entertainment. However, as time passed, I understood the importance of focusing on my studies and realized that the restriction helped me concentrate better.

What strategies did you use to stay focused while studying?
To stay focused, I created a study schedule and set specific goals for each study session. I also took regular breaks to refresh my mind and used techniques like summarizing what I learned to reinforce my understanding.

Do you think mobile phones should be banned in schools?
I believe that while mobile phones can be distracting, they can also be useful educational tools. A balanced approach is necessary, where phones are allowed but with clear guidelines on when and how they can be used to enhance learning.

Back then when I was a kid, I was around 10 years old, I was not allowed to use a mobile phone in my home. My parents used to think that usage of mobile phone by such a small kid would be very inappropriate. My parents never allowed me to use mobile phone at home or any other place. I tried to use their mobile phone by sneaking their phones but whenever my parents found out that I tried to use their mobile phone, I got scolded a lot. The reason behind that I was not allowed to use mobile phone is that my parents were very strict. They never wanted any of their child to use mobile phone. My siblings were not allowed to use mobile phone. I felt very angry and frustrated about that why I am not allowed to use mobile phone. My brother is 10 years older than me. He was allowed to use mobile phone. After seeing that, I was very frustrated that I am not even allowed to touch the mobile phone. Then why he is the one who is getting the chance to use the mobile phone. But with time, moreover with time I got to know that it was for my benefit only.

Follow up questions


How did you feel about your parents' rules regarding mobile phone usage?
I felt very angry and frustrated because I didn't understand why my parents were so strict. It seemed unfair that my older brother could use a mobile phone while I couldn't. Over time, I realized they were trying to protect me, but at that moment, it felt very limiting.

What activities did you engage in instead of using a mobile phone?
Instead of using a mobile phone, I spent more time playing outside, reading books, and engaging in creative activities like drawing. I also played board games with my siblings, which helped us bond and enjoy our time together without screens.

Do you think children today should have restrictions on mobile phone usage?
Yes, I believe there should be some restrictions on mobile phone usage for children. It’s important for them to engage in real-life activities and develop social skills. However, I also think that with proper guidance, they can learn to use technology responsibly.

Last year, I gave my PTE test for going abroad. It was in last July and it was in the CP centre of Delhi and it was the most disappointing exams for me because when I got there, I got to know that mobile phones are not allowed inside and I was relying on my mobile phone for a very big source of information for checking out the word meanings from the chart GPTAI. The phones were not allowed because PTE is a computer based test and it is used to determine the English scores of children who are going abroad and it is a very vast test used by many universities. So, if the scores of the test are tampered by any mobile phone or any other devices, it may cause a very big issue for the future universities that are planning to explore PTE for their admission requirements. I personally found that mobile phone should be allowed in PTE centre because many of students are prepared for their English test but they are not able to get the correct meanings of the words which are given in PTE. So, I always think that mobile phone should be allowed in PTE centre and my experience of PTE was not really very good.

Follow up questions


How did you prepare for the PTE test without your mobile phone?
I prepared for the PTE test by using traditional study materials like textbooks and practice papers. I also attended coaching classes where we practiced speaking and writing skills. It was challenging without my phone, but I focused on understanding the concepts rather than relying on quick searches.

What do you think are the advantages of allowing mobile phones in exam centers?
Allowing mobile phones could help students quickly look up word meanings or grammar rules, which can reduce anxiety. It could also provide access to study apps that aid in preparation. However, strict regulations would be necessary to prevent cheating.

Have you experienced any other situations where mobile phones were restricted?
Yes, I faced similar restrictions during a workshop I attended. We were not allowed to use phones to encourage focus and participation. While I understood the reasoning, I felt it limited my ability to take notes and access information quickly.

Yes, I have. I remember attending a concert where phones were not allowed. They provided secure pouches to keep them safe. It was a unique experience because it made everyone focus on the performance and enjoy the atmosphere without distractions.

    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    So, when I was not allowed to use my mobile phone, it was the time when my elder brother got married and it was his marriage ceremony. So, my family decided that we all family members, we will be involved in the marriage only and we all should not use our mobile phone. Because of the distraction, because of less involvement in the programs. So, we all decided we will follow their suggestion and we will not use our phone. So, we didn't use our mobile phone and we enjoyed the marriage ceremony. This marriage ceremony happened almost 2 years back and it was in Delhi only. There was a farm house, I don't remember the name of the farm house but it was quite beautiful and we enjoyed a lot. So, I felt that when we spend time with our family members especially for some very important occasion, we should not use gadgets and mobile phones. So that we can enjoy together, we can have time where we can appreciate each and everyone dresses and we can take care of our elders. And whenever they require help, we can help them rather than being on phone every time and being in our own hypothetical world.

    The occasion when I was not able, not allowed to use my mobile phone was when I was, was on 22nd February 2025. I was in the visa office as in the embassy in Kolkata and my phone was not allowed over there. So I had to wait over there for at least an hour and the only things that were going on in my mind were the interview questions that I had prepared for myself and how it would go. I was very anxious about the whole situation since my case was different compared to any other applicant. I was supposed to sit there and I was there just sitting cluelessly because a lot of things were just uncertain. I had already faced a rejection before and I was just getting way, way, way more too anxious about how this would go.

    Back in my high school days, when I was preparing for my NEET exam, which is a medical entrance exam to get into a medical university, I was not supposed to use my phone as guided by my parents. I was living with them, so they believed that using the phone while studying would distract me and I would not be able to study that well. However, if I think about it now, I feel that it was a good time, it was a good decision by them. Otherwise, if I would have used phone, I would have not gotten these many marks and would not be able to get into a good university like I did. So back then, I was not very happy about it, but when I think about it now, it was a really good decision by them. I feel there are times when your parents take such decisions and you feel really frustrated and really sad about it. But later on, as you grow older, you realize it was for your own good. It is a very instinctive occasion that I remember because it was for a period of two years when I was not supposed to use my phone. It made me feel a bit excluded from my friends' group and nobody was able to contact me or I was not up to date with the social life. But it was for my own good and I feel what they did was the best for me.

    The occasion when I was not allowed to use my mobile is my friend's birthday and I feel very awkward there because they have a quite typical family, you know, thing, or thoughts, if we are family together, please don't use your mobile. They literally collect all friends or family's phone and put somewhere else and they hide from all of them. They are decided to not, nobody is allowed to use their mobile, okay, in any situation. The thing was to enjoy the birthday party and spend quality time with friends. They have very typical theme, I don't like it especially, according to me, that's not a good thing. But we are not able to do something because it was my friend's birthday. I think it was in hilly area, I don't know exact location where it is. I feel so awkward, I feel so bad, why they are doing such things. If anybody gonna make emergency call or something happen, what would they do, what would they do if emergency happen or such case happen or they want to use their mobile, what they want to do. They are not allowed a single one to use mobile. It is very typical theme, I get so bored watching all family's faces.
