Gadgets, they are only the part and not the part and parcel!!!

Gadgets, they are only the part and not the part and parcel!!!


Laptop and Cellphone were not with me right from day one. Cellphone is in hands of most of the people and laptop is in the hands of most of the college students and professionals very recently.


Cellphone:
After buying office mobile few years before, I was in a situation where I cant move around without cell phone. I dont account the reason to so many apps, internet connection or mainly my favorite qwerty keypad... I dont know. But,  wherever I go, whatever I do, I was not able to leave my cell phone away from me. It was the same situation when I came to  Pune also. I could not detach my cell phone from my vicinity. I still remember that I was restless for a day when I left my phone at my flat and didnt take to office. My thoughts were only in the cell phone and I didnt concentrate on work then. The word addict could be very well used here. I was addicted to my mobile then. If the lines are read, it can be noted that all of them are past tense. I would like to mention that I was addicted.


But my grandfather one day told me, when I went to my home town, why I should be so much addicted to mobile. He told / asked me if mobile was not with, would I feel peaceful for a day? I gave it a thought to what he mentioned. It was not just literal words, but lot of meanings were hidden


My first novel which I read was tamil one, very interesting. It is Kalki's 'Parthiban Kanavu'. If this is searched in net, lots of information would flow. The novel revolves around a king. Whenever I was reading it, I surprised, how people communicated by means of letter through a person, dove etc . But I felt that, they also communicated and their lives were more peaceful than us. This suddently came into my mind and I wanted to restrict myself from my mobile one day. I did so. Wow. It was a great feeling, which made to realise that until, the mobile phones are only for communication and sometimes for net and I need not be addicted towards it. I am totally out of addiction towards mobile phone.

Laptop:
I remember it was few years before, I got the quotation from many shops and evaluated the cost and configuration of my laptop before buying. But it so happened that I started using it very often and it was obvious. I spent most of the time in wikipedia. My cousin used to be in orkut long before. I never liked orkut until one day when I found my school friends on orkut. Got excited from then on. Orkut became nostalgia now and facebook has become my time eater. Until a situation which demanded me to refrain myself from laptop for few days, I didn't do so. The harddisk in the laptop didnt allow to boot and hence it has to be given for service. That was the main reason for me to be without laptop for couple of days. 


Situation demanded me being without laptop. Though this statement would be funny, but true. Now I have come out of the addict of being online for long time!


Though, this is known to me that I should not be an addict, but I learnt from the situation. Now I really feel free! I judiciously use them!!!


They are only part of me and not part and parcel of me!!!!
