LOSING MY MOBILITY

My intern begin on an unfortunate note with me loosing my cellphone on just the third working day. It was after exactly 4 weeks later I finally got my SIM card activated, so I thought it was the best time to recall the past weeks when I had been stripped with the priviledge of being always connected. I am a big fan of Mr. Branson, so the title of the blog is a tribute to him. (So the title is not plagirised rather inspired). I had been using Nokia 2300 for past 2 years, but few months back I exchanged my phone with my brother, a motorazer V3i for some time and it was this phone which was destined to be lost by my hands.
People loose their phones in buses, on railway stations etc but I lost it somewhere in JCB plant, and that too as it fell from my pocket. Then came the massive search operation, executed by all the 10 fellow interns at JCB, we upturned virtually every cushion in the office or reception or the cafetaria or whatever place I thought that I had sat in those doom hours. Then It was the time for broadcasting, so within few hours each of the employee of JCB who had come across had known that I had lost my motorazar. It took me few days to get-over this jolt but the recovery was not smooth, thanks to fellow buddies who would always turn to you for asking any of the phone numbers and than when I give them those killing looks (I could have given competition to Andre Nel in it), then they would say--"oh heck, sorry I forgot that you had lost your phone". This was the painful story of how I lost my MOBILITY. But every cloud has a silver lining and so had this, suddenly I realized that I was now UNTRACEABLE, hence no one could call me at the place where I didn't want to, no one could call me in the middle of something for doing some less important but more relevant tasks. Moreover I did save some money too, the phone bill, and rediscovered the ancient practice of writing down other's phone numbers on a piece of paper. All In all it gave me a lesson that NOKIA 2300 is the best thing to go mobile. (Even If it gets picked, the picker must end up cursing his own fate more than what the owner would have done). Even If you loose your phone you can compensate by delaying the purchase of new phone by few weeks. (As by that time the savings of the phone bill will equalise the handsets cost.) So thats were my experiences with the grave loss of loosing my phone.
