Worth being conscious!

*One phone call. One staircase. One misstep.*

Mr. Shashi Tharoor tripped while talking on the phone and walking downstairs is not about clumsiness. It’s about the brain.

(Glad to note that Mr Tharoor is doing well)

Your brain is terrible at “walking + phone” multitasking.

Especially while going downstairs.

Why stairs are risky?

When you go downstairs, your brain is busy with:

▪️Balance

▪️Depth perception

▪️Foot placement

▪️Split-second corrections

Add a phone call → attention shifts → reaction time drops.

That’s all it takes.

*As a neurologist, I can tell you:*

*_Some of the worst head injuries I see come from simple falls, not big accidents._*

Please don’t use your phone when:

*🚫 Going up or down stairs*

*🚫 Crossing roads*

*🚫 Walking on uneven surfaces*

*🚫 Driving / riding*

*_Your brain can focus on movement OR on your phone     Not both safely._*

*✅The simplest safety hack*

*▪️Pause the call.*

*▪️Look at the steps.*

*▪️Hold the railing.*

*▪️Your brain is too valuable to risky*

*for a notification.*

Worth being conscious!

Have a good day 🌸
