Rashmi Bansal's column: Phone is our companion and support, but not loved by human beings

An accident happened a few days ago! My support, the apple of my eye, my phone is gone to heaven! I've been pleading with you for days, just do it. So many photos, so many apps, my tiny body can't bear it. Reduce the load a little. Well, that day there was a little water and Mr. Fon drowned in the same handful of water! Someone said, "Put it in a sack of rice, as if there was a miraculous genie sitting in those grains." Well, I followed these kinds of tips throughout the night, that might have some effect. In the morning, when the button was pressed, a light breath appeared, but then, like the dying hero of Bollywood, after a few sighs, the gentleman died. It turns out that life is not just about the phone, it is as if mine is over too! It hurts to lose your purse, but life goes on. But when the phone dies, the person starts feeling helpless. From home, from office, from Amazon – so many people are trying to get in touch. But it's as if you have ceased to exist. The man is standing at the door with the parcel - OTP please madam. Where should I get it from, brother, take it back. People have left the house, now I have to go – how do I get a taxi? I'll take a black and yellow taxi. But I don't even have a hundred rupees in my purse - the habit of UPI payments. Anyway, somehow I reached out to the mobile repair guy. That maybe the phone will be reincarnated in my own house, with a little exorcism. The technician said seriously, I try, I can't guarantee. He was also asking for a bit more money. So I said, "Forget it, let's buy a new one." There are now two types of phones: Common phones, that is, Android. And the phone with 'Apple', that is, Apple. The one who is fond of mangoes gets irritated by apples, and the one who likes apples does not understand anything about mangoes. Someone gifted me an 'apple' years ago, for a tasting. Alas, I had become obsessed with him ever since. As usual, the new 'crop' had arrived in the 'apple' showroom. The same in appearance but the difference in price, as is often the case with the fruit. The only difference is that the apple that is eaten is Rs 300 per kg and the pocket is in the gold-silver range. By the way, who wears real gold to weddings now? Fake goods also shine great in the photo. So they spend it on the phone. The newlyweds and newlyweds bid farewell to the showroom with great affection. But first he wore a 'veil' – that is, a cover – so that his form could not be noticed. When they reached home, everyone gathered, to show their faces. Everyone liked it, when the news spread among the neighbors, there was also a whisper. Everyone would say, "Just get me together," some of them even showed irritation on their faces. After all, it does make a difference to the family. Not the Diwan-e-Aam, but our beloved Diwan-e-Khas! The problem is, I don't feel like getting this girl to do any work. There was a fear that her soft skin might be scratched. He absolutely refused to go to the bathroom, the fear of slipping. And then one day while walking, she slipped from my hand and fell to the ground. Thankfully, he wasn't hurt, but it was as if that fear had gone away from that day. It's been a month. This new member of the house has absorbed a lot of apps, messages and photos in his 256 GB heart. If you have any questions or problems, they are here to help me. Do you want cheese in the house or come to the plumber? Just press the button whatever you want. Tea for ten rupees or medicine for BP. You have to do KYC again, you have to fight in the family group. A little time pass on the train, who wins the toss today. The whole world is contained in a small life, but it is also good to lift your eyes from the screen. The phone is my partner, my support. But he is not cute to a human being. Let the phone be pinged, let us lose in conversation. Tea for ten rupees or medicine for BP. You have to do KYC again, you have to fight in the family group. A little time pass on the train, who wins the toss today. The whole world is contained in a small life, but it is also good to lift your eyes from the screen. (These are the author's own views)
