One Sunday morning, everything was normal.
I (Karthik) was lying on the bed, scrolling through my phone.
Mom was in the kitchen.
Dad was watching the news.
My younger brother was playing games.
Suddenly...
The WiFi stopped working.
The Silence
For the first 10 seconds... no one noticed.
After that...
"Internet is not working!" my brother shouted.
I raised my phone up in the air, hoping to catch some signal π
Mom said,
"I thought it was a gas problem... but this is an internet problem!"
Dad calmly said,
"Go check the router."
The Investigation
For the first time ever...
All of us stood together in front of the router.
Usually, we don't even sit together like this.
Dad turned the router off and on again...
Still nothing.
The Real Drama
My brother almost started crying,
"My game!!!"
I said,
"No reels... what am I supposed to do now?"
Suddenly, Mom said,
"You all are free now, right? Come help me in the kitchen."
We were all shocked π³
Unexpected Things
Without WiFi:
Dad started talking with Mom
I played real games with my brother
Mom even started telling jokes (big surprise π)
We all laughed...
After a long time...
It actually felt like a real family moment.
The Twist
After one hour...
The WiFi came back.
Everyone picked up their phones again.
But after 2 minutes...
Dad said,
"I think it's better if WiFi goes off sometimes."
We all laughed.
But deep inside...
We all agreed.
Moral
Sometimes, losing connection online
helps you reconnect in real life.
