CELL PHONES..

It is around 1 o'clock in the afternoon and i am standing at Rambagh Circle in jaipur. The light is red so it provides me an opportunity to look around here and there in case i find an interesting piece for EASY BAKAR.

And guess what i did.(of course thats why i am here stupids!!!). I am standing in between a branded, heavily billed luxury car and a city transport bus. 

I first turned towards my right where the luxury car is. I found a well dressed, heavily paid man sitting on the wheel. He was checking his CELL PHONE, probably surfing the net, checking his mail or sending a multimedia message to a friend on his communicator.

When i turned towards my left to look at the city bus, i found bus driver talking on his CELL PHONE.

Now thats the beauty of a cell phone, it just doesn't believe in discrimination. If it looks good in the hands of the rich then it equally gets flaunted in the hands of the poor. Besides being an instrument used for communication, bridging the people, making them realiase their expressions, text messages(that wonderfully revolutionary technique called shor messaging system), multimedia messages, not to mention the style quotient and other n number of uses it can provide; a cellphone is a marvellous indicator as a whole.

It indicates the distance we have travelled. From being a country of poor, who did not have basic amenities, to a country that boasts a middle class almost as big as the total population of United States. This middle class is eventually making  India the 3rd largest cellular using country and we are really close behind China. Where you just had one phone in the entire region and where you had to connect to the operator for making trunk calls and trunk calls itself were the major swanking factor; having mobile phones in virtually everybody's hand is really a telling story. This same fact is aptly mentioned by Shashi Tharoor, the great writer and a diplomat, in his book "The Elephant, the Tiger, & the Cell Phone".

So next time you see a man talking loudly on a cell phone by your side, dont get bogged down, the man is simply reiterating the already established phenomenon- India is really scaling new heights daily!!!!!!
