an obituary to the Iphone dream

It is with great displeasure that I inform you that our friends' dream of reading daily news and blogs while commuting to work on his touch screen enabled slick Iphone, met with an unfortunate accident today. It happened around 1:20 pm while our friend was having a very bad meal with his two friends. Something was not right he felt but that the world would come to such an abrupt end, that he could not have imagined in his wildest dreams, which are indeed head over heels cats pajama's wild. On logging on to his computer at 1:25 pm and while going about friendfeed normally, our friend noticed a breathtaking link, calling itself “iPhone 3G Pricing Out”. During the short 4 seconds between which our our friend clicked it and the page was about to load, he felt more anxious than he felt while checking his IIT-JEE score. Millions of emotions crossed his mind, the top few being having a Vidya Balan wallpaper on his iphone and checking his emails (even blocked ones) while at work. Then the blow fell.

Like all bad things that happen to good people, it took a while before the news sank in. He first stood up, murmered a few expletives, lent out an internal cry that hummed out of his stomach and then sank back into his chair with a thud and closed his eyes. Everyone around him came to him asking him what had happened but he never opened his mouth. A senior collegue read the news on the screen and explained to others and asked others to leave him alone.

It is said that a dream destroyed is more painful than a dream unfulfilled. He would have lived with the fact that Iphone is not available in India for the next ten years in as good spirit as he did his flunking in school and college but the fact that it is available and not affordable, that he could not bear. You would understand that, he wasted quite a few words on the Iphone on his blog and when his mother looked at his paleontological phone and asked him to get a new one or she'd have to buy him one, he just said, "Im waiting for the Iphone Ma" ( he also said but you can buy me one anyways). Cutting as this story may sound, it is the truth and hopefully our dear brave friend will come over it. The fact that a human being could have such a strong attachment with an inanimate object, is a proof that human beings are indeed unique and people like our friend, differentiate us from the rest of God's creatures.

Apologies for having brought such a bad news indeed but it is at moments like these that a man needs his friends the most. Kindly attend Iphone dream’s formal cremation ceremony today on the 30-A bus route at 6:40 pm. Please be on time, as the bus gets filled with people awefully quickly.
