My handset

New role of handset

                I used to think that a handset is rather used for more purposes than what it is meant to be. But, now I myself use it for many things I never thought I would need. With a high end mobile phone in my hand, I have never called any one so far. But it has become part of myself. Every now and then I check weather at Troy, compare it with that of New York where we plan to spend the weekend. Minneapolis weather also interests me because we were there for three happy days. Chicago also asks for constant check since we spent a beautiful sunny day along the shore of the lake and the Millennium Park. Then I use the mobile set for listening to radio, the sound of which would come in full effect through the Sound link Mini Bose. I keep on switching stations one after the other and listen to old and new numbers, familiar and unheard of. The tourist in me awakened my shooting skills ( Hope I have a bit ) and out comes my mini shooting app which roams around curious objects, strange sights and way-out locales. Finally comes the mod fever of one and all – the WhatsApp. I never dreamt that I would use this app. I was challenged before my departure from India that I would be its devotee. Well, I do understand its fun, the  living, happening moment shared with those who look for such tit-bits and photos. There are many unaccustomed features that call for constant scrutiny, but let me not become a slave of this small machine!
