“OMG.? What? You don’t have…? How on earth can a person be like you? You are kidding right? No? You are impossible.” This is the reaction I get from people when they ask for my mobilenumber.

In this Jelly Bean Android, TRAI-enforced, ‘Joh-Mera-hai-woh-tera’-taglined mobile world, I don’t have a mobile phone. Insane? Well, do you think that makes a person different from those who have a mobile?

The primary purpose of a mobile is communication. With my ‘hoodibaba’ on prowl, and friends on wake, communication has never been difficult without a mobile phone.

And I really love this touch-and- feel rapport that I share with friends, which can never be replicated by mobiles. It makes me feel like the character Jai in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na .

P.S: World, I am alive! Very much alive!!
