5 years back, when i went to my vilage and asked them my family to buy me a mobile, they said" dont dream too much,can u understand our family position................??",they were true,as a matter of fact.At the time its really a dream for us people to hold a mobile as there is no market for middle class consumers. All the models available belong to high end market. The call plans of network providers also at a rate that is very high.
welcome to what i can call as mobile revolution, dont get puzzled when you see farmers sharing their crop plans on a mobile.,
indian customers are divided into many sections.Earlier the cellphone is limited to upper class and upper-middle class's toy. Things change and Today, you name a range and there is a mobile ready for u to use.Here are the days where u can hold a mobile between two fingers..
what can that be called as??
probably the word "revolution" doesn't fit the story..
1 year back, i entered the same old village. and to my surprise every one greeted me with a single hand, with a mobile in another. i went to ask one of the head villagers about the change but to my real surprise he asked me why i dont have any mobile..(i hade it in my pocket.)but who cares?? when u have something precious, u have to b pride of owning one. the fellow villager is showing the same...
last week i went to the same village in anticipation of some changes..
but the only change i observed is that now they r greeting with both hands( as their mobiles are in their pockets..) and i didn't have anything but to have a smile...
the pride of owning a mobile appeared and disappeared because of the same "revolution"
and better to be called as "revolution cycle"
once they are proud of having a mobile and showed it every one passing him and now it became a part of their daily routine that they no longer have the interest in showing off....

village life,its global now...
when an outsider of the global village thinks about being the villager, he gets himself puzzled. when he didn't know anything of the heavenly things which we,the global villagers, take it for granted today, he felt happy in saving money for the reasons he can list endless.. now when the world around him is slowly migrating to the village, he cant help of his joining them. but wait, he has his considerations to ponder on.didn't he?
all the hand-held devises which we are holding now are a master-pieces for him. for example, when he sees a nokia state-of-the-art mobile device, he thinks more than twice before holding it in his hand. its a alien piece which he hadn't ever dreamed of.and dont ask him about surface computer,the microsoft's new kid.when u did, get prepared to get " what the f**k?" kind of looks.
in his village he was brought up hearing about the technology as a costliest cake any one can dream of holding.
for those people,
here i say,
welcome to the global village(..city??)
here u can find of people, rather wizards...
who can make anything possible..anything..
don't get scared when you see people writing on a hand-held device,using the touchscreen.
people talking with each other seeing on the tv( wake up...thats not tv..its today's computer)
the list doesn't end..
anyways u came this far
and that too just now..
just sit back and relax
