I very clearly remember the days i was in class 5 or 6, and i had a huge crush on this classmate of mine and used to speak to her on the phone after school. The word " Phone" here refers to a landlines and NOT mobile phone, not that mobile phone had not come, they had, my dad had one - bulky, Panasonic phone with a huge antennae.
It is quite funny to, that i remember using landline nearly 12 years ago, but i cant remember when i last used the landline in past month.
Mobile Phone has completely taken over my life, FYI and also to showoff, i would let u know, that i have a blackberry curve (8310). I spent part of my 1st salary to buy it.( i avoided writing "i spent half or 3/4th of my salary to buy it", for obvious reasons ;-) )
I get up in the morning, the first thing i do is check my messages, then during the day ' n' number of calls, numerous messages, calls again, it just does not STOP!.
And in case, you are seeing someone or let's say doing ground work for the girl/boy you like or for a possible customer, then you would be wearing a headset the complete day - while working , while driving, while eating. Crazy!!!
I have friends who would call me when they have just left office and want to talk when they climbing down the stairs, as they have nothing else to do. Some would call me when they are in the car and have nothing else to do and are getting bored, they would call me, you can so make out that they have called you to timepass. All the call that you have to return, you would do when your walking to the market, driving etc.. It's like " ek teer se do nishane", you have also shown that you have returned his/her call and at the same time, passed your time, while walking/driving towards your destination. Well that what happens with my friends.
I tell my friends, you ve called me to "use me"-like you use a paper napkin-you clean your hands and throw it once your done, very similar to "hanging up" when they have reached their destination or when they think now you are boring them.
Now, the phrase " ok, i ll call you back" has no significance, i know when some of my friends use this phrase, they don't mean - they'll call me back, it means - ok, i need to put the phone down.
Here i'd like to add, i do the same thing SOMETIMES! am learning the art from them. :-)
But yes, this phone has just become a part of my life and cannot do without. Now, every 2-3 months, i celebrate, "Switch off" day, where i completely switch off my phone and sleep.
I had one last week, and i loved it!
This sums up my first post, and i would PUBLISH it, and then check all the errors i have made while writing this. But i enjoyed it, it was also a good way to practice my typing speed. For ppl who dont know, i bought this software to improve my typing speed and technique, and i have in the past 3 months, gone from 22 wpm to 45 wpm.
P.S: Any coincidence with the above incidents is very intentional. LOL
