*_Very useful tip_*.
*One phone call. One staircase. One misstep*.
*This video of Mr. Shashi Tharoor tripping 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 risk for a notification.* #😁Hello🙋♂️
