Tring Tring

Everybody has a cellphone these days. The brother, the cat, the friend, the aunt, the beauty parlour maid, the milkman, the rickshaw driver, the roadside vegetable vendor, everybody. I decided it was high time I went ahead and got with the times. I decided to buy myself one gadget real quick.

I am a careful and cautious buyer. I did 3 weeks of intensive research on the internet and magazines trying to find the model with the maximum features and minimum cost. I finally narrowed down to 3 models and started going from store to store comparing best prices and haggling over accessories.

After another week of extensive shopping (I lost about 5 kgs walking from shop to shop), I became the proud owner of a brand new cellphone. Another week of meticulous research on networks and connections and I bought a SIM from the best network provider.

How's it going now? Alas....I have been sitting and waiting for my cellphone to ring.
