Getting connected with 1100…..

The very first thing is life is important to us ri8? The first day at school, college, first love, the very first kiss, the day we first wore a pattupavada, the very first day when the pimple come out of the soft skin in the teenage years, and how friends try to make fun out of that, everything is kept inside the heart as our favorites like the  Lucky Red Seeds..Yeah every seed is a memory but the very first one has got some importance, it has a magic of remembrance… never make us to forget. !!

Yeah... I want to talk something else but see …my thoughts end somewhere as always. Today amidst of my work I have come across a very nice article, it make me think. It is about the mobile phone addiction of teenagers.  It talks about a survey conducted by The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM). It says that adolescents of 15-18 years of age and found that 88% of them possess mobile phones as against 40% of teenagers aged 13-15 years who actually use them. Also 66 % of them between 16- 18 years of age have a tendency to flaunt a mobile phone while at school tuition or public places. Is it not shocking? Yeah it is true that with the increase of facilities, using mobile phone is more like a habitual addiction. Anyway it is clichéd subject and I am not gonna talk about that.

Everyone in this world has his or her most valuable asset in life, so called thing that he or she cannot live without. I too have…. not one but many. And yeah mobile phone is one among them for sure! I also was  addicted to mobile phone in my college days.  I was addicted to messaging like anything in those days..late night messages, early morning messages, messaging in between the boring classes, seminars.. etc.( but now I feel making calls is better than sending a messages..) It was a way of communication, sharing something.  You know something, when we were going out for reporting, even the number of miscalls were used as a means of communication (most of the times our balance was very low: P) most of the times we had used mobile phones… while eating, attending classes and even taking a bath, while travelling etc. somebody was always there to message or call or at least drop a miscall.  But after the college days … the student life has got over…. My phone has got silent... no more late night messages, no more missed calls… sometimes I feel yeah not only me but my phone also was missing college days.

Even after I got a new mobile with all the new features like dual sim card, camera, so and so... I still love and feel more comfortable with my 1100 Coz it is my first phone... And I got it from my dad.  I learnt to send messages, to make calls from that only. 1100 Nokia model...... As the tag lines say... it connected me to the entire world- my friends, my relatives, colleagues!! It was the best companion I ever had.( and it is ) “The best user friendly phone” one of my friends used to say. And of course it is true only. She also prefers to use that one even if she had a Motorola set with her.

Like a very close friend that phone knows all my mood variations. (May be coz that it won’t broken up when I throw it out while am angry:P). Was with me all the time, used to wake me up in the mornings and from afternoon naps, keep me entertained with messages and miscalls… 

Still I have that phone with me reminding me to wake up in the mornings, producing beep beep sounds to make me feel that some of my friends and colleagues are still remember me to send messages.   Even if I get a phone with all the facilities, I am sure, that 1100 Nokia basic model would be my ever time favourite. Coz… the very first thing cannot be forgotten ri8? :)
