Am i a traditionalist?

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Going by this, people might even call me aadi vaasi.
But hey my phone works just fine. I also realised one important benefit of owing a phone as mine.
Today, some team members decided to play prank on one of our colleagues. They simply stole his cell phone and had him searching all over the place for like 30 mins. He was literally sweating - his was a very expensive phone. I dare anyone to try such pranks with me… hehehe :) Not to mention, i remember most of my contacts list by heart and i can call even from a public phone booth (another endangered species).

Cell phones are getting more and more important with each passing day in India. The article is right in pointing it out as a symbol of status and expression. Even in our office, atleast half an hour was spent today on the merits and demerits of buying an iPhone from US and having it unlocked here. Cracking iPhones have become something like a cottage industry now. It’s only a matter of time that these guys start demanding tax sops for the kind of service and innovation they offer to the society.

It’s only a matter of time before Nokia becomes our national gadget too…whatever!..

EVen i too sometimes feel i should catch up with times and should go for a trendier phone. But hey, style is not just about owning a phone. What about what we talk?

Then i decide,’ Nama pesura vetti mokkai calls kum.. junk SMS kum idhu podhum’. The Aadhi vaasi in me has been winning so far.. but not sure till how long…
