Mobile Mania

Ever heard about the most read book in this world, well before you race your mind through labyrinth of a library, the answer is THE Mighty Phone Book! And it is not just the most read but the most treasured also for quiet a few. I can count the number of times out of my few million days of life (including several rebirths) where I accidentally stepped out of the house without being mobile enabled! Not because my mathematics is limited but I cannot dare to saunter alone without my mobile. Mobile these days is a lifeline and as a standard gear, everyday before I hit the road I only check for three things the car keys, wallet and the most important my mobile. The fact is, most of the times only a mobile can take you to places alone!

Bluetooth, GPRS, PTT are just few of the ammunitions which make you feel smart like a stealth bomber and their power can only be realized once you allow your mobile to talk to its own peers like it does for you. Then comes the soaring fixation for forwarded smses which suddenly pops you up into splits even when a dinosaur is in front of you. Festivals and national festivals feel incomplete unless you receive a critical load of forwarded messages enough to make your thumb and fingers little stronger for same time next year. We might not reply to all the messages but strangely remember who did not spent 50p for you. Somehow, the enigmatic smses on festivals prove to be more comforting than meeting few of the senders in your drawing room as you skip the extra effort to smile, to dress and then increase the calorie count with ghujias or katlis .

As North Star guides this planet, these mobile devices are a true indicator of life and habitat. If your handset shows full strength signals you can be sure that you are in the thick of human settlement around, it starts diminishing as you move away from the heart of the city. Mankind feels so secure as long as they are in the network resorts of these mobile companies and any fluctuation in the signal strength provokes the horrors of isolation and uncountable opportunities to connect. The only reason perhaps, that we collectively ignore the air hostess instructions with all the impunity even when the aircraft is negotiating with the hangover of being air borne.

Actually in a day, this little device draws a trajectory for each member in your family. As a user, you will look ten times at your handset like a nurse in a cradle if one fine day the frequency of incoming calls is measurably low; the spouses will inspect all the incoming and outgoing communications like a daily sales report and kids while playing the games will finally discover the non veg in the jokes or might also do a casting couch on papas favorite video. And if you happen to be a blue blooded blackberry boy, then parents will have all the reasons for missing your undivided attention.

Call it a tech toy, gadget guru, status symbol or fashion statement this handheld device is getting smaller in size but bigger in role. All the Canons and Nikons of the world will swear by the pin hole they live on, for the crater this compact gadget burns in their pocket every time the shutter snaps with flash, mega pixels and truck loads of memory, from this convergence device. Even in the lowest categories it has overpowered pocket FM radios and alarm clocks. In fact, the census profiling by the home ministry would be more authentic if included with the Model No of the handset .The demographic divide in India will have a more comprehensive strata as Chinese, No Nokia, Nokia, Blackebrry/Android and Tablet users .

Airport lobbies, five star lounges, railway platforms, conference rooms, office receptions would have conspired together to suggest me a name like mobile mania after accessing the pull quotient of the device. If nothing official, face book and twitter keep you glued to your contacts and help kill time socially! No one can ever imagine the complex web we are heading with dual sim and triple sim handsets but as far as these telecom companies keep on promising the pinnacle of power and entertainment we as a common man have nothing left but to drool
