To my fast growing list of personal losses, one more to add... my dear cell phone :'(
Thanks to the roads in Bangalore, the road rage that creeps into me time and again and above all my reckless driving, I dropped my cell onto the busy roads of Hosur Road, and worse still I never realized my dear phone was not with me until I reached my friends place and started digging into my pocket fanatically for my mobile. Thats when I realized...
Pulled my friend out in a desperate attempt to get my phone back... Traced all my route back to office and kept trying my phone desperately hoping some good person will attend will the call and return the phone back to me. Optimistic I must say... Foolish, that's what you all will call me.. Esp after having lost the phone in a city like Bangalore where people are robbed in broad day light...
Eventually someone did attend my call, but no sooner could I open my mouth in excitment, the person on the other end cut the call :'( The END???
No, i still kept trying.. after having given hundreds of call, finally a person attended the call and spoke up... An auto driver said he found my phone and the phone was with him.. All excited and desperate to get back my phone, made a deal with the person who demanded a ransom to gimme back my dear one...
Just as you see in all movies, he asked me to come to all different places, one place after the other, kept changing locations, and finally after I called it quits, the driver having realized that this was his last chance, met me.
I had to re-buy my very own cell from him for a full 1000 bucks (with 1000's of bugs in them) !!!! Still I didn't mind. Because there are lot of things on that phone that I really never want to let go.. Fond memories, messages that take me back to my good old days.......
But my excitement didn't last long, the very moment the person handed over the phone to me, I heart was in tears.... My phone display was all in shatters and I could see nothing.......
Yes, a virtual the end....
