SURVIVING THE WHATSAPP MANIA - My life with or without my cell phone


YES I SURVIVED IT!!!  AND I CONTINUE TO DO SO
Yes, I survived the “Being without my Cell” phase and it’s been close to more than a week if I am not mistaken.  See, I do not even know when I checked my Whatsapp last.  My friend called on my landline yesterday and asked me “Rekha are you kidding. How are you alive without your mobile phone/cell?  Yes, it does sound funny am sure, but that’s how people react to when you do not have your cell. This is when I thought, YES, it’s quite of an achievement or feat if I may credit myself with.  But honest as I am, I told her that I am not quite missing much of LIFE.
Are you asking me whether I am happy without my Cell?  Actually, am not sure about what to answer.  To be honest, Am HAPPY when I do not have to answer a particular whatsapp and not HAPPY when I am not able to go through the humorous and fun filled  whatsapp messages of my school friends.  How I miss my Sharon School group friends and my special Whatsapp Group.  Just few more days is what I can assure my school friends and am back again.
On a more serious note, I feel that it’s just a matter of getting used to without our mobile phones or cells.  This takes me back to times when we did not even have a residence phone in our homes.  Life was smooth even then and most of you would agree on that.  Yes, communicating with each other has definitely improved thanks to all the social networking sites and the mobile phones.  
Just ten days back, I was trying to send a Whatsapp forward to my school group and my cell started acting weird.  I tried twice but something told me that the touchscreen may be the cause.  I tried switching off the mobile completely, but it would not move.  Never have I been so dejected especially when it came to technology and devices. But hey what was happening to me? The first thought that came to my mind when my cell conked off was WHATSAPP!!!!  I had totally forgotten that I would not be able to make calls, receive calls and Maddy would be the first person to be upset over this. 
I have been hooked, cooked and booked to whatsapp and I just loved it all through.  But if you ask me now, about how it would be.  I say Life goes on and there will be many more technology applications that would come and go, but WHATSAPP is close to my heart.
I missed sharing pictures, forward messages with my friends and family, but THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!!
Missing you all on WHATSAPP
Love always
Rekha
