One of the bad habits that I have and one I am sure a lot of you also have is eating meals at the computer. Remember back in the old days when we were younger and older folks sad that it is bad to eat while you watch tv? Ah those were the days! But now due to Covid since a lot of us are working at home on desktops or laptops either given to us by our employers or working on our own, the eating at our computers is what our parents generation will be complaining about us.

I have found that I too fall into this bad habit; depending on what I am having for dinner. If it is rice or chappthi/roti and curry or anything that has like sambhar or chutney with it, I tend to eat at the dinner table. Sandwiches, wraps, pizzas, burgers, ramen or anything else that has drier ingredients and I am with a plate or bowl of it at my desk. Doesn’t matter if I am not working at my work system at that moment, I still do eat at my desk in my bedroom. Usually while I eat my dinner I play some Youtube videos on my laptop.

As I finish this post, I just ate my dinner – instant noodles with some ketchup – party at my work pc as I had to send out a couple of reports and partly at my laptop as I took a break for 15 minutes to listen to a podcast. This is crazy. I realize that while it is my choice, I tend to do this because I don’t want to be away for too long. Which is the wrong way to do things. It has to change.
