Cell-The Structural And Functional Unit Of Life

Alright.I can say without any fear of contradiction that 7 out of 10 people, on reading the title would think about their cell phones.Way back in good old school days, I was taught in biological science that cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life.Then, i never knew that this definition would be more apt for the cell phones rather than the internal unit of the body.Well,yes am talking about cell phone addiction and the irritating factors relating to it.

Symptoms of cell phone addiction..

• You want your cell to be right in front of you 24*7.
• Your thumb is always on the keypad of your cell meddling with it.
• You want it to ring atleast once in an hour[if it doesnt then you dont mind giving a missed call too(height!!!)].
• Look at your cell for every 10 mins to check if you have got some message.
• Go crazy and get paralysed if you dont find your cell phone for sometime.

When Martin Cooper invented mobile phone little did he know that in coming years his invention would lead to the addiction of thousands across the globe.Some would be amazing happy at his invention and would be thanking him every moment while equal number of people would be cursing him too. And i have no regrets in saying that am one among them too.

Agreed 100% that cell phones do bring the world close and help to track the people down but did someone think about the lost of privacy??After a real tiring day,you come home and immediately fall on the bed, when your cell goes high with the newly downloaded ring-tone(the most irritating music for your ears right now).Its your boss asking you to report early tomorrow in office.You feel you should have been blissfully deaf at that time!.Imagine this--You settle in a comfortable place with good view of the outside world in your fav restraunt,lost thinking about your pet topic or you are completely engrossed in an Agatha Christie's thriller.Then this cell screams louder and louder again and again.Your startled and turn around to find that it was of an orange headed guy who had this sudden thoughts of oh-i -want-to-checkout-all -the-ring-tones-present-in-my-cell-right-now..Errrrrrr.....you feel like screaming at the top of your voice so that it could be heard till the end of this planet earth.And how irritating can it be when your friend cuts the most important conversation with you only to attend his call and end up spending some good 20 mins with that damn thing?

Then there is this flood of offers given by various networks..this makes sure that every person has got a cell of his own irrespective of its usage.The day is not very far when we may have to say 'roti,kapda,makaan aur cell'..With the advent of hands free sets things have become worse.You think two people have been talking until you realise that they are lost in their own worlds minding their own work and talking over their hands free mikes.How often would you pity a person,talking to himself ,only to your surprise that he has been talking over his mike?

Just imagine the world where all the cell phones go silent for a day!It would be a complete bliss!!at least for me!!Common,people can actually do things well themselves without you!!Well all said and done.On one hand cell phones have brought us close and made the whole world a small village but at the same time they took away our privacy too!!

God!! where is my cell?????

We Are Strangers..

How does it feel when a real close person of yours acts as a complete stranger??At first you are confused because all of sudden that person refuses to acknowledge you,tuns his/her eyes on looking you and when needs to talk to you on something out of complusion talks as if he or she is talking to you for the first time in life..

That makes you feel like hell..you are not able to figure out what is all happening..you start thinking where have you gone wrong..when you dont find any ,you desperately want to ask that person..and the person avoids you..you feel like going and yelling at him/her "you fool!!whats your problem on earth?"..you want to let all your frustration on him/her..but then you don't dare to do that because..hmmm i guess it weird doing that to a STRANGER...You still try to convince the person for something about which you have no clue..and all the time you try to do this only because you still respect the other person and and and the other person fails to understand that and shows the attitude still!!!

It then happens like this..you are tired of convincing that person and finally give up..you start thinking like this.."Oh!!so you want to show attitude..well listen i can show it too..in fact in a better way"..it all starts again..you look at that person, you stop smiling, you avoid the eye contact, you move away from that place if you sense that the person in somewhere in the vicinity, you act as if you have never seen the person before and as if you never knew such creature existed on the earth...after all this, one fine day, a common friend of yours comes and gives intro to you both(!!)..and what you do?..you give that person "so you are here again Mr/Miss Stranger..am not pleased to meet you at all" type of looks and ya you get the same type of looks back too..

You move ahead in your life still not knowing what have you done that earned you the wrath of your loved one and cursing the person each time you come across him/her..But still you are clueless..and all this is because that peson kept numb when he/she actually needs to speak out and you did not have patience to sought out the matters when you really need to..What happened now??

At the end of the day when someones asks who he/she is instead of saying we are best friends,you say..

WE ARE STRANGERS..

And the closeness between you both is lost forever..
