SMS mania!!!

it has been over a year now since the sms mania gripped me.i have been severely hit by sms abuse. the whole scene started when i got my personal cell(only i know what all coaxing and admonishing i had to do for that toy!!!) and with that came along a bad habit of sending innumerous messages(they are free so no bill headaches!!) from my dad's reliance cell.initially i cosidered people being glued to cell to be insane but now i have also joined that infinite list.now sending the message counter beyond the thousand mark per month is a child's play for me.



my parents usually get annoyed by the constant beeping of the cell indicating message delivery or message received. i have been perpetually berated by them for becoming a slave to that human invention.but as the phrase goes,"laaton ke bhoot baaton se nahi maante". the problem has got a bit bigger now.my elder brother has also joined my parents and has threatened me of dire consequences if i continue the excessive ussage of the cell.(though his warnings are not so strong.he understands!!).



now coming to the mistakes i have been constantly repeating these dayz.with the regular use of cell,i have my fingers well set on the little keypad.now i need not see the keypad while typing messages.and most of the time i dont check whether the correct recipient has been selected or not.this habit of mine i had pushed me into a big problem. i was on the verge of losing a very valuable friend.



i usually discuss something or the other with my friends on sms.so, on that day,i was discussing abt this friend with some other fren of mine. and by mistake i sent the message to the guy i was discussing about.i got to knw abt it only when i got a reply frm him asking for an explanantion.this took me by a surprise and though i had to make all sorts of explanations , the matter was amicably solved.but the next moment i was again off my senses. i agn sent a wrong message to the same guy.i still cant believe how i placated that guy.but the problem did not end there.i have been constantly making such mistakes since then(laaton ka bhoot!!) and i get to knw abt the err only when i meet him the next time.i just become a deadpan when he informs abt the message and i dont have any excuses.but now he has got used to it (however, i have not changed !!) and derides it.



people learn from mistakes but here i am,transforming mistakes into blunders .the faux pas i created would have surely resulted in losing a nice friend.i have been lucky to a friend like him who ignored all sorts of drivel i sent to him (by mistake!!) and also he did not feel bad over it.
