I am returning to Jatland after a long break and so first off a very Big happy Deepawali and also a prosperous Happy new Year to all members!
Seems like there has been business as usual here and bhai agar koi controversy hui ho jo maine miss kar dee to please update me right away....I would surely like to jump in hand and feet right into the middle of it!... ;)
Anyways; I thought what could be better than to start off by submitting a time pass thread in the good ol' general talks section, and then of course hopefully the thread should still be able jumpstart some healthy, meaningful and fun dialogues!
So here goes; What do you think about when it comes to Cell Phones!?! (Mobile etc. etc) other than of course that word bringing back the memories of good ol' Govinda going,"Kya hai mobile number...' it still has a very serious question attached to it: How many here think a mobile/cellphone is nothing but just a simple luxury to be burdened with versus it has fast become more of a necessity nowadays!?! Kitnae hain jo sochte hain yeh to abhi bhee ek shauk he hai, aur kitnae mantae hain ke yeh aaj-kal kae zaamanae mein apnae paas hone waali ek bahaut hi zaroori cheez hai???
Now, believe me this question/thread needs a worthwhile input not only from the present younger generation/crowd but even from the veterans too (who never bothered with cellphones earlier but use it now), simply because the answer is not as easy as saying 'Oh, it's just about being in with the times'...
Come on, think now of all the times you had resisted the mobile/cellphone in the begining when those people would hanker you to get one too, resisted just so that you never have to be under the power/influence or 'kaid' of this mobile phone and once you did go ahead and submit to the peer pressure (or otherwise) how you are now HOOKED for life!
Also how now you cannot be without it for a minute!!! Consider for example how you make a u-turn back to your house in your car/scooter/motorcycle when leaving for somewhere immediately as you realize you left the handset back on the side table!?! (Now, did you always fear being on the road without the good ol' mini-pal ever before like that???)
Think of how it has become your moving office contact number now, the ONLY one number that you hand out willingly to any prospective associate even when you could well actually be spending your whole day right next to an accessible landline number!?!:D
Phir aaj kal yeh camera phones, video phones...etc. More mess of everyday life, right!?! They say now soon we all will be carrying phones where one will be able to see the other person talk while he/she will be smirking at your own ugly features too at the same time!!! (No more excuses about sitting in an important meeting and not having time to talk, anymore! Ha! Ha!)...
Anyways; My main premise of the thread is to draw your own views and thoughts on how important/necessary/useless/vicious-circle do you consider that little devil stuck to your waist band, in your pocket or riding inside that purse??? Do you live and swear by it, or can throw it away forever at a moments notice? Does it run your life or is it you who decides whether to power charge it or not the next time!?!
ps. By the way for those who may be thinking why out of the blue a discussion about cellphones!!?!!...well yaaron, kal hi pehlee baar I met someone who was buying a cellphone (at the ripe age of 32) for the very first time! Now while I was flabbergasted by just that thought alone....it forced me to think again about the real reasoning behind my stupid surprise at such trivial a matter, forced me to think that why was I so incredulous when actually the person had looked quite ok and content till now without it....and most of all forced me to think that isn't at the end of the day (and for some reason), this person is submitting to the cell-phone pressure after all and taking a step that would change her life forever and into the future!!!....:rolleyes:
