At a time when we do not get enough time to complete our chores, we end up multitasking. However, one needs to exercise caution while multitasking.
Kerala BJP President Rajeev Chandrasekhar's cautionary treadmill tale will make you think twice before multitasking.
In a social media post, the minister shared an experience in which he says he learnt something with pain as a consequence.
He suffered minor injuries after slipping off a treadmill while trying to respond to a ringing phone.
"So I learnt something today - with pain as a consequence. If you are on a treadmill and try and reach out to a ringing phone - and are careless - there are chances you can slip and fall and scrape ur face/injure urself. Why do I say this wth so much confidence? Because it happened to me and I have the embarrassing pain & scars for it. Moral of story: Use phones on a treadmill with extreme caution," mentioned the tweet by the minister.
He shared an image of the scars and bruises on his forehead and face after the fall. Sounding a word of caution for all, the minister asked people to use phones with extreme caution while on a treadmill.
Social media users react
Netizens reacted to the post, with several users suggesting not to use a phone at all while engaging in a fitness routine. Some users even suggested that he use wearable tech like a smart watch and wireless earphones.
