MOBILE O PHRENIA

Oh my googlie coo's !! I am so sorry for not keeping in touch all these days. Actually, i had been accessing the globe on the mini-screen (mah mobile). This left me disconnected to all of my near and dear ones. Lots of timez I thot about writing to you all but then my work schedule left me no time to catch up with you all.

Honestly I have become the member of "Mobile-O-Phrenix" group. Typically characteristics of these people are as follows:

  • Checking there mobile screens every few minutes to ensure they have not missed any important email / sms / call


  • Tend to ignore the real human beings around them by giving more importance to their mobile screens


  • During discussions their attention span would be inter-mitten


  • Mobiles become and extension of their body


  • Every second of the day is spend either looking at screen / typing an sms / reading an sms / browsing GPRS / replying calls


  • In short, all these people (including me) think about is the life inside their mobile phones. Mobile phones are inevitable part of their lives.

    They show withdrawal symptoms if their mobile phone is taken away for the shortest span of time (say 30 mins)

    यार हम पहले भी तोह मोबाइल के बिना रहते थे ना । फिर अब क्या हुआ ??

    I recently recognised that I was suffering with these symptoms when I met one of my friends over coffee। While he was trying to talk and catch up on lost time I was looking at my mobile screen taking account of the time and replying to my messages. He stopped over for a while and said - "Can't you see I am trying to strike a converstation here."

    Honestly, I was so embarrased that I immediately thought of making a बाहाना and running away from that place. And you know guys itz getting worse -
  • When I am free I hav dis urge of sending a quick message to anyone in my list jst to strike a conversation

  • If that sum1 doesnt reply back in stipulated time frame of 30 seconds then I get irritated... think गर्रर! ख़ुद को समझता क्या है । भाव खा राहा है । अब कभी message नही करूंगी ।

  • I become so desparate without mah phone -
    1. I need it while reading
    2. While watching TV
    3. While working

    Most of all I need it while I am sleeping. I get up at night and look at my mobile screen to check any late night messages !! Oh Gannu bhaiya ... save me I have got "Mobile-O-Phrenia".
