Anywhere one goes, one can see every second person's head glued to the shoulder. The other common sight is of those wearing garland of wires-perhaps thy have taken the movie matrix too seriously! Even if one is sitting for Puja or is dying to go to the washroom the sound of Beep Beep! immediately catches ones attention such as the influence of mobile on the entire world that it would not be wrong to say that it is a Mobile World indeed.Internet, Video calling, 3G facilities, downloads, songs, movies, pictures, payment of bills, shopping, camera, videos- whatelse is there on planet earth that this pastry-sized gadget cannot do. Me and my friends chat, get match updates and play games. Not to forget, downloading Dhoni's heroic pictures, when we won the world cup, was so much fun. Mobile also comes in handy while doing homework as i easily Google up anything I cannot understand.
The days when only elites could boast that they prossess this wonderful instrument. Nowadays, rickshaw puller pull the rickshaws on then rythm of song thrust in their ears through earphone, vegetable vendor delivers at home, one just needs to give him a call on his cell, private bus conductor tells you where the bus is and how log will it take to reach your stop and most importantly, mummy's half the tension is done away with when pushpa, our notorious maid, screams from the other side-- "Auntee 1/2 gante mai aayegi" .
But one should be careful while handling this instrument. Once my father, who is not that tech-savvy, went to the last rites of an aged uncle. There was pin-drop silence around, as everyone was lamenting the demise of uncle. However, amidst shiela ki jawani started blaring! All eyes gave him a shocked look. Obviously, he was embarrassed. Later on, when he angrily narrated this incident to us , I guessed who's mischief it could have been -- yesterday my little cousin was playing games on his mobile.Mobile has swept off the world today, so much so that it has become a style statement. Everyone wants to flaunt off his or her latest mobile model. Everyone wishes to outsmart the other. However, we should avoid getting trapped in such a mindset. Mobile is an immensely useful gadget, a great product of this age. we should thankful that we are living in this ages!!
