Necessary evil??
Yesterday my friends sister forgot her cell at home. Her mom tried to reach her on fone and since she didnt pick called my friend to check. He also had tried calling her at her landline and cell and there was no response for him also. We all got so tensed and worried and when the call finally came after 3 hours it was a huge relief. She had put the fone on charge and had forgotten to take it with her.
It might sound such a simple thing. But it was sort of a revelation for me in terms of over dependency on cell phones. A decade back when my dad used to come late from office it was hardly a matter of worry, in the sense that, if it got late our minds didnt panic like this and we could justify our fears by blaming the traffic or overtime and oh.. yeah, we used to fight with him a lot for not taking time enough to give a call before he started. Wonder what would've been the reaction of my grandmother and she would've tackled such situations? Maybe they never bothered about all these and simply assumed that people who went out will eventually return safely - a more positive thought??
That thought lead me to this question. Are these newer instruments of communication making people paranoid?? Definitely it depends on the way people use stuff. The same Fission reaction which drives to electricity is also used to make bombs. But still, my grandma never had these issues of people not being reachable wherever they are. She never had to face the dilemma of an unreturned missed call. A decade back also we had fones. But their usage again was not at this maniacal level. That again brings me to the question. Are we trying to communicate too much? Is the boon becaming bane? I have nothing against new inventions and discoveries and i fully enjoy the benefits of them. Still these basic downsides, like the issue mentioned above, how do we rectify them?? Any thoughts?

Well anything in moderation is good... anything more than that is always a bane.... be it phone, TV, video games, ear phones... whatever for that matter... So, I feel moderation is the only solution...

எங்க வீட்டுல ரொம்ப தெளிவா சொல்லிட்டேன்(கத்திட்டேன் என்பது தான் சரியான பதம்) ஒரு நாளைக்கு ஒரு தடவை போன் பண்ணுவேன், வேற எதாச்சும் பேசனும் என்றால் அப்ப அப்ப அடிப்பேன். எங்கையாவது போனால் முன்னாடியே சொல்லிடுவேன் போய் சேர்ந்து பிறகு அடிப்பேன். இதுக்கு நடுவில் நீங்க யாரும் போன் அடிக்காதீங்க என்று. அடித்தால் நம்ம கத்துற கத்துல நாயே னு சொல்லிட்டு வச்சுடுவாங்க.
அவங்க போன் பண்னும் போது எடுக்கல என்றால் அன்னிக்கு மாலை, இரவு வரை வெயிட் பண்ணுங்க, நடுவில் அடிக்காதீங்க என்று சொல்லிட்டேன்.
இதை எல்லாரும் முயற்சி செய்து பாக்கலாம் (திவ்யப்ரியா டிரை பண்ணி பாருங்களேன்)
பசங்க வேற பொண்ணுங்க வேற என்பதும் புரியுது. ஆனால் கொஞ்சம் பொறுமையா எடுத்து சொன்னால் தேவையில்லாத டென்சனை தவிர்க்கலாம். ஒரு குறிப்பிட்ட நேரத்தை சொல்லிடுங்க அந்த நேரம் வந்தவுடன் உங்களுக்கே அட வீட்டுக்கு பேசனும் என்று மைண்ட்ல வந்துடும். (ஆரம்பத்தில் சில நாள் கஷ்டமா இருக்கும், அப்புறம் சரியா பழக்கத்துக்கு வந்துடும்)

Now to the topic.. hmm yeah cellphones are becoming an important accessory in your daily life :(
I used to get nice scoldings from my friends coz I lock them in my desk once I reach office .. because it disturbs my work (read reading blogs,chatting :P). What to do ??
I recollect how my mom use to immerse a Iron Kadaparai (small one dhan pa ) in a Bucket of water and wish the person comes early.She till date does it if anyone of us come home late without passing information to her :)
