In a day of 9 to 5 jobs, angry bosses, hectic traffic, low wage and all the sadness the world throws at you, you just wish for a pleasant time, a separate time which you can dedicate to your family and friends and not reminders from boss and his work deadlines or work queries from subordinates.

A good solution

Well you can do a simple thing. You can separate your work life from your personal life. Now, there are a lot of ways to do that. You can stay in the office for extra hours and completely end your personal life, or you can engage in personal interactions on your phone during office hours and end basically get fired. Or you can create a perfect balance between the two.

Dual SIM not enough

Be it your office or home time, you always need your smartphone for communication be it with your boss or your friends and so the smartphone manufacturers have come up with something that you’ve probably heard and used. Yes. Dual SIM cards. You get two dedicated SIM slots, one for personal use and the other for work. But isn’t there something missing out?

Whatsapp the future of communication
