"Honey" I Flushed the phone.

By 'Flush' here I literally means flushed ...This was 9Th in my lost phone list.
***********************DISCLAIMER*****************************
This blog doesn't justify my habit of losing things, I should work on it.
Second, I shouldn't be pulled for it.

I have a confession to make and here it goes, story with me and my phone starts way back in 1999.
1st Phone:I never fantasize stuff, but I want to have and do everything in life from tech to luxury from love to friendship, from happiness to crying that's me. As my sister left for United States for her job and I had an eye on her cellphone back then and being second in the legacy ownership among my siblings.
I got her smallest slim Siemens's c35, trust me I was the only one in the whole college to have a cellphone at that time.I used to flaunt it with a transparent college bag and visible my cellphone, there were times when I used to go past the college canteen, where all the guys staring of what the girls are wearing today I used to call on my cellphone itself from the canteen STD to flaunt look I have a cellphone. Just two days, past and I make my visit to college bank to pay my minimal college fees I came back you know what somebody stole it (transparent bag :)).I cried and I was so so hurt , I lost the most dearest thing to my heart told my friend who once proposed me and he was like don't shed tears I will get you so many more. There comes my boyfriend (now my husband) on his scooter who comes to know from his network of friends, that his girlfriend is crying to bits and pieces and I ran towards him.No he didn't say the above lines or in fact he didn't say anything :( at that time I was contemplating a decision of him being my life partner. I thought this person in my life don't even care about the dearest thing of my life, I was seriously thinking to reconsider my decision.

2nd Phone: Later, from the money I used to get from the tutions bought a simple old used Panasonic phone, as I feel phone was the greatest thing I could get for myself, not a great phone for a person who goes so much on whims and luxuries, so had to give up on it.
3rd Phone: Two years passed without a cellphone after that, I came out of college with our recent college jobs we earned minimal 7000rs or 140$.
Pay day so hence first pay gift from my boyfriend, now my husband ... from his first salary was a colored nokia cellphone which was worth 14000 rupees at that time. I never bothered, to know howcome from his 7 grands pay he got double the prize cellphone, OK that was the day I thought my decision was not that bad and I should marry him :) and till now he is man of few words but can get the world for me even if he has to stretch himself to limits.
4Th Phone:
After 4 yrs after working for 3 years, In 2006 I came to United States as a student, the moment I entered my brother arranged for me T-mobile cellphone, since here the cellphone comes with the contract it was 2 yrs. Bummer!! the moment I entered into my university campus it doesn't get great signals in bluewall (College Cafeteria only :)) , with me always throwing the tantrums want a new one.

5Th Phone : So, my sister got me a Verizon cellphone next week though everyone in my friend circle had AT&T since my sister had Verizon that made her sense (it will be free for her to talk to me :( ). With passion of talking and connecting to people. I always used to exceed its minutes and used to pay some 150$ etc phone bill almost every second month.On the first fight with my mom and dad, I threw my cellphone I broke it. I learned never break your stuff when you are angry, you have to pay huge returns after you cool off. I think that was the last time I did it .

6Th Phone : Brother Ordered new one,:( , It was HUGE BULKY Nokia phone, all my friend used to pull my leg open the phone antenna and then talk.

7Th Phone - Didn't like it, wanted a new one please ... :) saved money from funding to get a new Verizon phone (which are damn expensive), got a 175$ out of contract phone, I was a grad student earning minimal 395$ per paycheck at that time.
8Th Phone- My b'day in 2008, need for iPhone arrives as it is in rave and phone is best thing I can have for my b'day.Boyfriend gets me one, again the same story I flaunted it :) ... Got back after my wedding, first thing I do when I land in US, check my emails through my phone :) put it in seat pocket in the plane and then sink back on the seats to get a sleep as had pretty tiring trip visiting three countries in four days for our so called honeymoon.Reached my home, after a long long journey... next morning all set to get back to work, shhhhhhh!! phone. HONEY, I left my phone (So called iPhone) in the plane. Christmas time, Santa get me phone please :) my so called dear husband, went and check out for iPhone again , this time out of contract and it will cost 400$s.

No I am done , I don't need one went alone and got a 9$ phone from the best buy and you know what it works great, I can talk with the same clarity and nothing changes and soon I realise it doesn't make any difference the purpose of the phone is to talk and which ever numbered phone it was , all served it purpose...

One fine evening at work, as the festive season starts after whole day of strenuous work as always me making plans for the weekend and the festival talking to a dear friend on my so called 9$ phone as I talk, make plans and pay a visit to restroom while I talk... After hanging up lost in my thoughts, open the restroom door, with phone still clinching between my shoulder and ear, with my face all tilted. Conversation over, head back to normal position... and there it goes right there ...
With technology present anywhere but everywhere... toilets too are with sensors and it flushes and down it goes my dear 9$ phone which taught in the end it doesn't matter how much it costs, the only thing it should do is solve your purpose... goes right in front of my eyes,churning and down there...
Next thing, that comes to my mind..., Happens, gone not a big deal.. I am used to it, not a big deal, this time no crying, no qualms just called my husband right then from my desk who apparently was enjoying a basketball (Blazer game) at the stadium.
Stating
"Honey - I flushed my phone " and he replies.
"oh it is OK, don't worry we will get the new one"
Next call , I made to my mother
"Mum - I flushed my phone " and she replies
"oh , it was your 9$ phone ,no big deal by now you should be used to it"
and rest no-one knows... :)
To some - I lost my phone, to some it got spoiled truth is, It got FLUSHED :( ...

You see, when going gets tough- tough gets going and If you can’t get out of a situation, you can at least make the most of it, so everything will be OK in the end...if it's not ok, it's not the end, so right now happy with my nokia 20$ phone, that doesn't mean I won't switch to another fancy one. Surely when the need arrives or I can afford one will do so :)
