Bhubaneswar, Jan 6: In a digital age where many of us spend much of our lives in front of screens and our fascination with smartphones has grown into a full-blown addiction.

Recently, a woman devised a unique solution to tackle her family's smartphone addiction and it has got the internet talking. The woman, Manju Gupta, made her family members sign an agreement to use their devices properly. She stated that her family members have become closer to their mobiles than each other.

Manju also made a clause in the agreement that whoever fails to abide by the three rules would be debarred from ordering food online from food apps like Swiggy or Zomato for not one or two days but for the whole month. Looks like the family is a food enthusiast too.

Needless to say, internet users were amused to see the agreement written on a non-judicial stamp paper. The phone-usage agreement laid out three rules:

1. Everyone in the family should worship the sun instead of their phones as soon as they wake up in the morning.

2. Everyone has to eat together at the dining table. During family dinner, all phones must be kept 20 steps away from the dining table.

3. Everyone will keep their phones out while going to the bathroom so that they don’t waste time watching Instagram reels.
Since being shared, the post has amassed a lot of reactions from social media users. "My maasi made everyone in the house sign this agreement," reads the caption of the post.

"Manju masi is the human version of parampara, pratishtha, anushasan fr," said a user.

"Manju Mausi is leading by example," added another person.
