A day in my life without my over smart phone

Little background:Though how much I loved it, I took it for granted (Don’t we all do with the things we love?) and I didn’t even bother to keep it in my water proof bag when it was raining. And when something doesn’t get the attention and care it requires, it decides to teach you a lesson. That’s what my phone did. It just stopped working one fine (actually not so fine) Tuesday morning.

I tried and tried but the touch screen just wouldn’t work. I could see there are few notifications (emails, smses, missed calls) and I was itching to read them, but I couldn’t get pass the security code. Thinking its just putting up its price and it will start working later, I didn’t do much about it.

But when my friend Sudeep who I call my phone doctor gave up too I knew things are not too well :( Tried to get it repaired but since its not an Indian model it will take a lot of time. And then I realised how much I love my phone, I even refused to put my sim card in any other phone. But after a while I realised I need to have a phone to receive calls and sms at least.

INCOMPLETE: The problem is just receving and making calls is not my definition of phone. If I can’t read emails in it, I can’t access my gtalk, facebook, aol mails, I can’t get directions then its not a complete phone for me.

I couldn’t believe when I got up in the morning there was a puny not so intelligent something on my bed instead of my big (but good looking) heavy device. I couldn’t believe the one which makes me read all my emails, shows me my FB notifications, rings the alarm, connects me to my boyfriend who lives overseas, gets me good music, lets me tweet all day WAS GONE!! Didn’t it also stream the latest videos, told me how many calories I eat in a day, kept a track of my menses cycle, popped up the things to do today. Not only did it click pictures but uploaded them wherever I wanted. Aargh! you get the drift?

And its such a pain when you don’t have all the phone numbers in the sim. If you want to party out, you don’t know how to contact the people! If I had MY phone it would have gotten the ways to contact (though Google or FB). Accessing all those websites is not allowed in my office.

And so here I am feeling so disconnected. I am sure I had a life before this phone came in to my life. Problem is I can’t remember those days. Hoping and trying to get this little piece of intelligence get repaired soon.
