The Changing Times

The only constant thing in this world in change. Everything keeps changing, but some fools try to stop the change. They do not remember the very basic thing that change is inevitable.

On a lighter note let me tell you my mobile story.

I bought my first mobile way back in 2003. In my early days of mobile usage I did not like to talk over the mobile. In fact I was not habitual of using mobile. In office I used to keep it at my desk even if I was not there. One of my colleague even commented me that "You use your mobile like a land-line phone. Why don't you carry it with yourself so that you do not miss any call?"

The time come when I got habitual of mobile usage. I enjoyed those voice calls, sending SMSs every day. But even in those days I used to frequently switch-off my mobile for weeks to get myself some time. While traveling I used to switch-off my mobile. Thanks to less salary and high roaming-charges. At-least I used to get some time.

Now the things have been changed. Thankfully, I am still not addicted to the mobile. But I did not switched off my mobile since long. Now I also keep my mobile ON while traveling because of very less roaming charges. But I do not get time for myself now.

But to earn some time I've some rules for myself. One is, I do not take any call between 10:00 PM to 5:00 AM until it is emergency. In fact, all of my family members and close friends know this, so they do not call me during that time until it's very urgent. I do not reply to missed calls. It still helped me in some way, not to get distracted by that "tring-tring" every now and then and of'course finding some time for me, myself.
