A phone is a person's best friend. No ? Ok then, a phone "can be" a person's best friend. Nah ? Alright. :P It surely was one of my favorite possessions. Yes, "WAS". I lost it. Rather, someone stole it. I could sit and throw as many expletives as I can fathom at that person, but I can't get myself to do that. During times of utter depression, I want to. But I don't. Nah am not trying to be a Mother Teresa. But it's true that I don't know what circumstances led that person to steal it. Probably they were just going for my Adidas bag and the phone was a bonus. Probably someone mistook it for theirs and realized their blunder a lil too late and got tempted to keep it. For whatever reasons, since it's gone for good, I just hope that it helped someone. Probably they were in dire need of money and sold it and maybe it helped them out of some misery ?! I like to believe so. It somewhat soothes MY misery. But the lucky guy is the one who is using it right now. (/girl :-?) But I highly doubt if some girl would be interested in an app like "Blow her skirts" :P Yes, it's one of the apps that person had downloaded on my phone. :P
So coming back to April 2012, on a day to be mourned upon, I entered the lab for the last Practical exam of my engineering life at 9:35 am and came out at 11:20 to realize that my world has come crashing down. Too strong a phrase to describe my plight ?! I don't think so. That phone, that HTC HD2, was my treasured possession. I had even rooted it with Android. For me, it was the best phone in the world. Nothing could convince me otherwise. (Today I own a Samsung Galaxy S3, and I would readily trade this to get my HTC back.)
I called my mom and told her everything. She couldn't breathe for a while.:P But when I called and told my dad a few mins later, his first reaction was - "But you're fine right ? It's ok. It's gone now. Just call the customer care and block your sim. Go home and don't spoil you health over it". It was a 32K mobile !! :O How can he tell me to just get over it ?!! :O This was my first reaction. Though, later, when I pondered over his words, I realized how blessed I was to have a parent like that. We take our loved ones for granted. So much that only situations like this make us realize their worth. Tch tch, What a world we live in !
