My Special attachment...

Initially I was its master and it was just my slave… Never was I too attached to it and worse that I did not even bother about it. It was just another asset of mine at home. A glance from the corner of my eye was its best moment.
Never was I so attached to something that could not speak or listen… But this was special. No, this is not some romantic story in my life. But it is Romance at its best. Confused? Join me in this confusion.
“Blue waters, Sunny sky, an umbrella in my hand and sun-glasses covering my eyes..” Ooooh! Didn’t I look so good.. This is my ideal dream and keep dreaming this almost every other day. Amidst all this Beauty (& not the Beast), my unconscious brain keeps telling me or rather reminding me to check if I got any ‘msg’.. At 5 in the morning.. Who will send me a ‘msg’..? But No..! “ I have to check..”
And guess what.. To my complete satisfaction I will have a ‘fwd msg’ waiting for me… Oh the Happiness..! Oh the Joy..! It’s just wonderful… Joys of life..? Naaah.. or maybe Yeah..! Not just the morning.. This saga goes on throughout the day.. Since when did I get so attached(addicted) to my mobile or rather my Inbox…!??! Still confused?
After thinking about this for a considerably long time (longer than what I took to find an answer for my exam) I discovered that all this ‘attachment’ began from the time I got my SMS Booster Pack. Oh yes.. I still remember that day.. It was a bright afternoon.. 1st of October if I am not so weak with my memory.. I heard about this from my friend’s aunt.. She told me that I should consider this as an option… I agreed… Not a big deal..!
First few days I was very clueless.. I was not a very ‘msg-person’ and I like talking more( I still do) but gradually I developed this skill and excelled at it..
I can now type three times the speed earlier and best part is that I can do it without seeing..
My mom thinks that I am crazy and this act of mine looks so “Crazy”..! Maybe it is but does she know the joy of ‘msg’-ing..?
Wooooo-hooo..!! that’s the correct expression to describe how it feels to communicate so fast and so silently..! The power of SMS…
Many years back it was “Beep-Beep—Beep-Beep” but when this process of incoming ‘msg’ became regular or rather rapid, I was forced to change it to “Beep” so that my mom doesn’t have to stare at me every other second..
Social Obligations.. Only because of these social obligations, I had to change my ‘msg’ ringtone. Everytime my mobile goes “Beep” there are some 10 people staring at me as if I am committing some crime. “I am just getting a ‘msg’ not a mysterious crank call. Chill people..” I would love to tell them this, wish I could…
This is when I thought my life was going on fine. Lots of friends, boy-friends and girl-friends(I am still straight). Then came a day when I could not ‘msg’. I wasn’t sick, not critical, not bankrupt and though if I was ready to ‘msg’ there was nobody to reciprocate. Nothing too serious, just that ‘msg’ was no longer free.
My hands felt numb. There was no activity, I felt stranded on an island all alone. Nobody to talk to, nobody to emote to.. I kept staring at the blank mobile screen.. not even a slight hint of any ‘msg’.. If I heard a faint ‘Beep’, I’ll come running only to find that its either someone else phone or a ‘msg’ from my service provider..! “hmmmphhh” The sorrow, the loneliness.. only I know how it feels..”hmmmphhh”
( Ya ya.. its an exaggeration but the basic feeling is somewhat similar..)
This long story of staring-glaring-sobbing-smiling will never end because I am a complete social animal(person).. I hate it when people do not reply.. because life is all about love, affection and Communication..!
My attachment with the mobile is only because of the people I get connected through not the Technology(maybe) or the gadget…
I hope my mom reads this and doesn’t give me “the glare” next time and hope all those who read this remember to ‘msg’ me always.!!
