Losing my obsession

I was very much content with the mobile i had. Well , you can rephrase it this way. "I chose to be content with the mobile i had" since i had no money to take a new one and the only problem wid the mob was it was running on "bada" .


Just days before getting the 2nd months salary , i was obsessed with the idea of taking an android mobile. Many options buzzed up. And i thought of going for Galaxy ACE. When i told my friend about this, he suddenly pointed out some statistics saying that Galaxy S2 would be the best option. And from that point on, i was doing lotta math in my mind whether to go for it. I googled and couldn't find any flaws with the phone. The only problem was that i would be left with no money for the next one big month. But still, i thought of going for it.

And yes, I compromised my 2nd months salary for my obsession. Except for some close friends, all others stared at me like i had done some terrible mistake. Some even had a sarcastic face. Many said that "I could have done this and that with that money " . Even though i felt sad, i never showed that on my face.

It had been 3 weeks and everything was going fine. It was 3.00 am in the morning and I was at gandhipuram bus stand. I knew that no bus services would be available at that time. So I thought of hiring a taxi. I took out my S2 and made a call and in a few minutes the taxi came. I got into the taxi and he took me to CMS. Since some road construction was goin on, the driver dropped me on the way and i had to walk like 3 minutes to reach the house. I gave him the money and started walking . After walking a couple of meters, I noticed that mu mobile was missing. I turned around and I could see the car at some distance. Soon I dropped everything I had with me and started to run calling "Taxi". But he didn't respond. Maybe he chose not to and then the taxi started moving. I knew i could never reach it. I felt numb. I ran back to my home and took my friends phone and tried contacting the Taxi service and got his number. I tried calling my mobile and it was still ringing. Soon i got the taxi drivers number and he promised to come to CMS. After 15 mins , he came and i checked the car. I felt very skeptical. But I couldn't do anything. I went back to gandhipuram to check whether i had dropped my phone there by any chance. I started believing that something magical would happen. But nothing happened. I tried calling my phone again. This time ,the lady with the attractive voice said some bad news. "The subscriber you are trying to reach is switched off ". I reconfirmed it. What else could i do at this time. I went back home . I thought i could never sleep. But some how i managed to sleep coz of the tiresome journey i had. Next day I woke up hoping that everything would have been a dream. But it never was.

PS : Switch on the mobile tracker in your mobile :). If any of my relatives is reading this, don't tell this to my parents coz i told them that I sold the phone :(

Smoking Kills

During childhood, i wondered why people smoke even when its considered bad. The enthusiast in me was constantly troubling me to find out what was so exciting with smoking.After examining a used cigarette, found out that it had some dry leaves surrounded by paper. When i was 14 years old, i made a cigarette with the above said ingredients and i smoked. Luckily my parents did not find out. But since i found nothing amusing about it, I didn't do it again.

When i joined college, I had no interest in smoking. But eventually, I was surrounded by a group of smokers which tempted me to do it (i don't blame them though ). And yes, i fell for it. I always knew that I was committing a slow suicide. But I couldn't stop. Then i found out that smoking is a kinda "showoff" for many smokers and it brings you the "tough guy" image. (Many wouldn't agree with this, but its the fact ). And yea, the college life provides the right environment for a person to become a chain smoker. Even though i smoked, i didn't push it that further. Everyone says that you'll have a small so-called "kick" but i haven't had anything except for some headache . Some people smoke in order to kill time and i had done it a couple of times.

Smoking at times chokes your throat and lungs. Every morning , when i am in this half-awake-half-sleepy state, i take the promise not to smoke and later that day i realize how bad i am in keeping promises.

YES, "SMOKING KILLS".We all know this. But why don't we care ! The answer is simple..One will learn only from his/her experiences..And one will not know the value of something unless he/she loses them !

Statutory Warning : Smoking is injurious to health !

CS 701 Industrial Organization and Management

I took an answer sheet. Got the question paper. got into my seat. This silence is familiar. Well, i don't care. I dont read all the questions in the beginning. I looked at the first question. Read it again. Usually i dont do it for a third time, but still i did. Ive seen the word "cooperatives" in the first module. Yea, my brain showed a green signal. I completed writing it by mixing it wid some other answers but u wouldn't say its wrong. I paused for a moment, took the strain to look around . Yes, its my friend sitting over there and he is busy doing nothing . He is still staring at the question paper. I thought, "whats wid the paper? " . And i started reading them one by one. I wondered wheter its just me or is the question paper weird ? At first i dint even understand them . Made another glance. Yes , now i knew why he had that bizarre look. I turned around to see others reactions. My buddy who was behind me lifted his hand and took out the middle finger. Yes !!! thats wat i call 'a reaction' . I somehow managed to fill the answer sheet in 3 hours and asked for an extra. tied em, gave the answer sheet,and left the class.I felt very disappointed. Wasted all the time mugging up all those points. I instructed the mind to shift+delete(IOM). Still some parts keep buzzing up...
