- by me :)
It is a substantive instrument from which one cannot ‘fly the coop’. It is the Elysian device of the modern world. It has but come to end our misery, the almighty mobile phone.
‘Beep beep’ goes my mobile indicating an incoming SMS from my friend who sits just two places away at the office. I pick up my phone, gleaming with the newly downloaded wallpaper, to check the SMS, only to find that my friend wants to have a quick coffee break. Someone may think its crazy but most don’t. Mobile is about to become a unanimous mode of communication in our lives. A Girl doesn’t have to meet and declare the news of break-up now, she just has to type a few words in her mobile, and there goes our atrocious message over the air jumping from one tower to another finally reaching its hapless victim.
We use our mobiles so much, but never realize how much influence it has on our lives. Remember those awful days when your SIM went dead, or when you did not get coverage for a while. Remember how you got mad when the battery went dead just when you wanted to make a call. I can do without my wallet for a day but not my mobile phone. The mobile has actually commuted our life as per its wishes and we have happily acceded to it, we call when we are happy, we SMS when we are sad. We forward those picture messages, in a way to tell that I remember you. Needless to say the first thing one does even before the plane comes to a proper halt. And oh! those amazing ring-tones which a college going lad uses in an attempt to impress a pretty lass.
You think this is it. There’s actually lot more. I have stopped wearing my watch. I don’t have a alarm clock at my home anymore. I don’t need a calculator. Next month after buying the new I-mate, I may as well sell of my PC! I don’t forget my friends’ birthdays anymore. I hear songs when I like. Most of the times I need not carry my camera. And the list goes on.
“Thou may find wisdom, thou may find glory, but thou shalt not find peace without a mobile phone.”
On the lighter side – (not my creation)
A young man bought his blonde wife a cell phone for their first wedding anniversary.
She was thrilled.
The next day at the mall, her phone rang. "Hi Honey. How do you like your new phone?" he asked.
"I love it," she replied, "But there's just one thing I don't understand."
"What's that, Baby?"
"How in the heck did you know I was at Wallmart?" she asked.
