A Mobile's Soliloquy

I was enjoying my life in a beautiful colored box, until I saw bright fluorescent lights falling on my face, which took no time to wake me up from my dreams. A plump man took me out from the box with a firm grip. To my surprise, I found a sweet lady standing in front of me. She smiled after giving me a keen glance and continued doing so, which made me quite conscious and I wondered if I was looking okey!!!


There was some chit-chat going on between the plump man and another man who appeared to be in his mid-forties, which was making me bored. After a short interval, I felt the plump man turned towards me and took me up from the shining glass sheet to place me in the cardboard box. Oh! I thanked my stars when I recalled the luxury of the thermocol bed inside the cardboard and I was exactly fitted in by the plump man, as I was before.

By the mid of the night, my sleep was again interrupted but as I opened my eyes, I found a cute face giving me anxious look. She was the same girl, whom I had seen before, but I was surprised to see my complete surroundings changed. Now I was in a small room which had books, cds, floppies, laptop, music system, soft toys, chocolates, biscuits, photographs … uff and what not!

She took me by her hand but not as hard as the plump man did. After some tick-tocking with my fingers, she made me write a message which said “My new number is 9999.......”. She stupidly saved this message into my drafts and then one by one made me to deliver it at different numbers.

Still it made me proud to be in hands of the rarest beauties on earth. Anyways I didn’t have any other option than to become use to her tantrums. Her activities started in the morning itself. As my lady woke up, her first job was to pick me up from any corner of her bed wherever I would be lying. In case, I fell under her bed, then too she briskly took me out from that “appearing to be unreachable place”. Then throughout the day the tick-tocking continued, which she termed something as, “Dialing, Re-dialing, Disconnecting” and so on… The activity which gave me the greatest pain, but happened the most was “dialing and disconnecting” just after a few seconds, thus, mocking at my efforts. After this my lady gave a winsome smile and uttered “I gave a MISSED CALL”. Neither my days-nights were peaceful nor are peaceful. I wonder if anybody could save me from my disastrous fate!!!
