Leave the desktop or your lappy aside (or PC in other case) and check if your mobile is displaying “1 message received”. Is it? If yes, reply the message first and then come to the screen again.
Wait wait…Have u forgot to text your friend about your new Hi-tech toy? Nups? Then text your friend first.
Oho..How can you forget checking your facebook profile? It might be possible that u have received a new friend request or a new post. If not, then its time to put a new facebook status. Till the next page on ur facebook profile opens. Minimize that window and open the chat window of orkut and facebook. You can try your luck if u can see your girlfriend or boyfriend online..
At the same time, search the latest album on your ipod..Time to crash some symphony waves with your eardrums.
Meanwhile, open your Google-box and shuffle the deck of channels.
Then repeat the all above four activities until you complete your next 24 hours and the next 24 hours of the next 24 hours and so on until you are fully satisfied.
(a)
(b)
Ok,,,done now? No? Is something still left? Do that now and then if you feel free , please come to your computer and alleviate yourself. See the two pics, then answer a simple question..
Which of the two pics seem more alike to you?
(a) The Langoor with a mobile.
(b) The Langoor with a headphone and a mobile.
Am I mistaken? Your PC might be displaying a boy with two tech-toys. Now close your eyes for a minute and think what you did with your “a multiple of 24” hours of life (Please do not include this minute). Now see both the pictures again and re-check the options of my above question. Am I mistaken? Surely, NOT.
This is what which happens when a “Langoor” picks an “Angoor”.
Bounded with my habit of not concerning the dictionaries and encyclopedias, I define my two adjectives, the “Langoor” and the “Angoor”. Well friends (wait a minute, I received a message from my friend.. I am replying him first……………………………two minutes gone……………..Ok, done). So, where was I? Yes,
Well friends, “ Langoor” is that idiot who texted his friend first in the above few lines and wasted 2 minutes of his precious life and some Kilo Joules of energy over this unwanted but very necessary agenda. Do not grin. Similarly are you. “Angoor” I define with those gilted tech-toys that have virtually invaded the mind of every person in this man-made earth. We have various flavors of Angoors ruling the electronic market. I-pods, mobiles, radios, i-phones, x-boxes, palmtops and their upcoming hybrids that hem around you and never let you move an inch away from them. It seems, it is not the gravity which holds you on Earth, in fact, it is the bond that the “Angoor” has created holds the “Langoor” with it. Do not hide your face with hands. Show the sly grin that you are masquerading. Say it candidly aloud. This is a naked truth. Deep inside your heart, you know the “Langoor” of you. These so-called “Angoors” have invaded the mind of every citizen residing on this on this “ God created and Man invaded Earth” .Much hyped Angoors easily attract kids and eat big lumps of hours each day proving themselves to be a gigantic boondoggle leaving their eyes webbed with red arteries. The same concept also affects their physical health. Gaping the x-boxes until 3 a.m and then pleading Mom not to go to school that day not only creates a stress but also sketches your academic graph down towards the origin which finally turns them sullen. When it comes to LAN gaming, loss in hours is directly proportional to the team spirit and fun added together. Many times, I have seen kids making ostentation that how he sliced that demon and how to end the trickier part of the game. Ok, leave this aside now. Think what a kid must do after it chatting for hours with his/her friends on a mobile (which is indeed hidden very nicely under a blanket along with the kid). Obviously, he puts that mobile on charging. This is the case of one kid. Now imagine the count of such kids around the globe and multiply with 1 (it is the minimum time I personally expect which a kid spends playing or chatting on mobiles). In addition, multiply this sum with the average power consumption of the mobile in 1 hour. Now you get a small number followed by Megawatt (Unit of power, here I am concerned with the electric power). Mathematically, this number increases with the count of various hybrids of “Angoors”. And why should kids have all the fun! Haven’t you seen bigger “Langoors” playing with these “Angoors” all night? Yes, is the obvious answer. For the next few lines, imagine yourself to be a father or mother of a 12 yr kid, tomorrow is his birthday. The pocket-loosening question arises in your mind with the lightening speed. What object will gain the pleasure of being the birthday gift of your kid? PS-3 costing Rs. 18000, OMG, this will leave me with a pocket attack; X-Box-12000, it would be a tantamount to a dog biting my butt, pinching pain; An I-phone or an Android, man, what a kid will do with such stuff…Yes, don’t you agree that these are the thoughts which will hamper your savings. Stop this extravagance; it will leave your kid in a timewaste-quicksand. Your kid is your property, but I will better send my kid for a picnic worth Rs. 12000 instead of buying him an “Angoor” and harbor that uncontrollable gaming experience. It will definitely entomb him on his bed with his gadget buried with him. One “Angoor” adds a whim to your household expenditure and blows a whip at your wallet. Moreover, once your tongue receives the taste of such an “Angoor” , it’s hard to keep your hands away from the second one. It seems these “Angoors” have made a strong bond almost like an adhesive with the hands of the “Langoors”. OK, come to present now. Do not think how your future family will look like. It is an example only.
Time is to pull you out this gadget-marshland. With all these sugary glittery “Angoors” around you, do not let the vacuous “Langoor” part of you win. It is next to impossible that these “Angoors” will leave you unscathed. Might I would have been a priest then I would have let all the people to venerate the “Angoor” deity; this is what a “Langoor” would say. I will apologize if one of my very sensitive readers takes my previous sentence as a blasphemy but I must uncover candid thoughts. Better, mark it important. Alarm yourself now. Enough time has been gulped, to put you under a ramification. My above 1089 words were not a leverage and I am not your bastion. Otherwise, these “Angoors” will teeter you on the brink of self-destruction.
Wait a minute- My mobile is showing another message, I have to reply it first.
Oho, I have not updated my facebook status. Who is online now? Let me chat. Till, the software opens, let me exercise my T.V remote. How can I forget downloading that game..hmmmm…..I should better download a movie alongside.
