Life without a mobile phone..!!


    BO's pink Nokia 2626 has still not recovered from the shock it got from the head bang after it dropped. So BO has gone mobile-less. Those who follow her here, there's a message for them: Don't waste your sms packs on her coz she won't be able to view your messages and contact her on her land number or through the internet. She has decided to go mobile-less for a while now. SM broke BO's favorite photo frame which was a gift by her BFF. In the fond memory of both of the above things BO uploads their pics which are going to be here forever. Life without a mobile phone is a hard decision that BO has taken, she doesn't know how far would she be successful, but she is ready to give it a try. She needs to justify her choice to herself. She agrees a mobile is worth many things. She lists them and checks out what is something she would miss while not having a mobile phone. Here's goes the list:
  1. She receives calls  (land phone recues her here)
  2. She makes calls     (         ditto          )
  3. When she is out and somebody wants to reach her or she wants to reach someone ( friends phone number for really important people for really urgent calls could be an option or work phone can also help but it wouldn't be always very comfortable)
  4. Sending and receiving messages (BO believes mobile phone is a very personal device and why are social networking sites for..!! Messages from all friends can be sent and received there)
  5. Alarm (could use any other device)
  6. Notes and record (could be maintained in her diary or laptop)
  7. Entertainment (an ipod takes care of that)
  8. Basically this is it! All the above things can be taken care of but, the thoughts are only needed to be put into action. What if I actually REALLY-REALLY miss it??? That's natural, but lets hope for the best. Fingers crossed..!!

    I too love my phone. But it's getting more irritated with my absurd way of experiments
