CELL TELL…

We used the cell a year ago for some important purposes and began again this New Year. What was initially thought as a nuisance, by me, now has become an extension of my arm.
IT IS AN OBSESSION, I declare.
Oh god… you must hear my grand father YELL at me when I keep messaging people throughout the day.
It goes like this…(ha at last I’ve got off my writer’s block and am continuing in my natural style!!!Yipee!)
Place:Early morning… around 5:45 a.m.
Scene: The Living Room… near the landline, in a pink( yes Prabz… if you were wondering, why everything associated with me is pink… well you are wondering right!Its SUCH a ‘girly’ colour and I’m in love with it outright!!!) yeah… in a pink cute cell holder that my friend Vani gifted, the 10 cm wonder lies sleeping. I go, pick it up tenderly, with immense affection and reverence… “my dear dear thing, wake up,” I slowly make it rise. It rises and flashes…
“Sandy and Swe” (Coz that’s our welcome name)
INA Airtel( I prefer Hutch but got Airtel for heavens know why!!!)
Anne( That’s my profile.Actually, this is my mom’s cell but well, me and my sis are the meddlers!!!What are kids for anyways?)
Then begins… ‘ NA NA NA NAA NA NAA NAA;NAA NA NAA NAA NA NAA NAA NA NAA…”
(If you were wondering what that was, well supposed to be Mouna Ragam tune which happens to be today’s message tone. You see, I change it every day…er… every other second, much to my mom’s annoyance)
1 message received.
2…
3…
6…
Oh… it goes on from the time I switch it on.
Reason? My classmates and I LOVE messaging each other. We clear our doubts over SMS. We girls decide if it’s safe enough to wear jeans or ,in other words, if our seniors will come.( Hush… Ragging is prohibited across Chennai colleges. But ‘ORIENTATION’ is fine!!!)

Call it whatever you want… Short Messaging service or Smart Messaging Service( as I call it!)… rules the world.
From “Hey I am home…” on normal days to “Overa?How many chapters left? I AM FREAKING!!!Aiyo examsai yaar avadhu oyichu kattunga.Paagal ho rahi hoon main ITNA padke.” on exam days, our SMSes carry all possible things on the planet.Add to this my duty… ok, nobody allotted this to me,I took it up myself… to send riddles everyday to a select 5( coz the others majorly yell if I send it to them) and bingo, you guessed it right, I’m messaging almost 24/7.
Ok… not SO bad, but yes…BAD.
Forwards, picture messages, reminders for pending work, requests, pleadings, scoldings, screamings, wishes etc… phew my hands are full!!!(Yeah, how else would it be if you manage to eat and message and read for your exams SIMULTANEOUSLY?)

Ring tones…ah man’s gift to man. I’m this crazy ring tone fan. Sadly at the same time, I get VERRRY attached to the old ones and it breaks my heart to replace them. For a whole SIX months, I refused to replace our collection of ‘Ennakoru Girlfriend’, ‘Mouna Raagam’, ‘Mission Impossible’, ‘Ennai Konjam Matri’, ‘Uyirin Uyire’, “Airtel’ and ‘Minnale’.
Then somehow, my cousin and my sister convinced me and I replaced ‘Girlfriend’, ‘Ennai…’, ‘Uyirin’ with ‘Yun Hi Chala’, ‘Backstreet Boys-Get Down’ and ‘Punnagai Mannan’. (Plans for getting ‘Main aisa Kyoon hoon’, ‘Pehla Nashaa’ are playing on my mind.)
Ah… it’s so nice to hear that minute thing- buzz, beep, sing and vibrate to bring a dear one’s distant voice or a frantic friend’s call.
MOUNA RAGAM…
No…I’m not drifting off into writing about that immortal movie, but talking about how, most of the times, our cell drifts off into ‘Mouna Ragam’.
SILENT MODE,silly!
Yeah… ppl in the house get irritated( with a capital I) when my friends message to ask me how much I’ve finished in my design workshop or what more of the portions is left to be studied.So the poor lovely grey NOKIA 3315 stays quiet and calm and quivers… oh so slightly… to announce the arrival of a message.
It is a blessing and a bane. Many a times, I’ve missed calls because of that. But,it’s ok, as long as I’m not given a ‘SWITCH OFF THE DARNED THING.IT”S A NUISANCE’ screaming.
Jokes… Ha I simply love the nice and insulting ones. Chain messages… I religiously send it to ALL.
It’s fun… using the cell. It connects you with every one. It’s just a button away… call, receive, message, play and simply go haywire. And the last one is exactly what I go. From the second I come home till the second before I switch it off, the cell keeps me busy or rather…I keep my cell busy.
Its such a nice world out there… a fast-paced one,yes… but still a nice dear one, that I NEVER wanna let go.
Ok… b4 I go, I jus thot I shld share my fav SMSes wid u all.
Here gos…
“Koi aankhon aankhon se baat karleta hain
Koi ankhon ankhon mein mulaqat karleta hai,
Bada mushkil hota hain jawaab dena,
Jab koi khamosh rehkar sawaal kar leta hain.”

U need joy
MAIN HOON NA
U need a friend
MAIN HOON NA
U need peace
MAIN HOON NA
U need help
MAIN HOON NA
U need cash
HUM AAPKE HAIN KAUN?
