Rationing SMS!

Gone are those days, when the shriek of the old rusted  metallic alarm wakes you up, the magical golden sun rays greets  you in the morning or  the chirpings of the birds tell you what time it is. Well, we are the youth of today, setting in new trends and lifestyles.  The very first thing we do even before we are out of bed is to take out our mobiles, read  new messages, recall yesterday’s conversations, update the face book status and then decide the schedule for the day.

Strangely for the empowered youth of today, mobile phone has become an indispensible tool to the extent, life without it, seems next to impossible.
 The latest issue on the ban on SMS &MMS more than ‘5 Nos’ per day has raised eyebrows, leaving the ‘exasperated youth’ with confusions and anxiety. The million dollar question is how long is it going to continue?  With the new ban starring at us, we the youth feel totally immobilized, just not knowing what to do. Sadly the active phone stays idle without any buzz, driving us crazy. The day seems incomplete without texts, chats, conversations and the like. Looks like the very life force has been sapped out leaving us gasping. On the flip side the parent’s communities go about their routine unaffected. The same ‘SMS’ issue has different effect on different people. While it serves just as a basic utility phone for some, it acts as a life sustaining instrument for others. Oh my god! I just realized I have got only two messages left! Who should I text? Will be back soon:p
