The PC

You see it everywhere, wherever you go. You cannot miss it. You can choose to ignore it, but it will haunt you. It all started less than a year back and now its spread like wild fire.  And not you cannot close your eyes to the “PHONE CONDOM”

 

The other day I was travelling on the bus on my way to work. My co-passenger, who seemed not to have yet lost his senses, took out his phone from his pocket and there it was. His phone was covered up in this black material, the telecom equivalent of a condom.

 

Common characteristics of PC (that’s Phone Condom duh!!)

-It’s almost always black (got anything to do with being “Tall, Dark & Handsome??)

-It will be a very tight fit on the phone (the tighter the better)

-Very easily available (if the actual condoms were available so easily I guess, ppl would be more protected I guess J )

 

It’s all got to do with Indians and their obsession for preserving things for posterity, common examples are ppl having bought new cars will NEVER remove the plastic covers till the day it thankfully tears off after a long and painful life.

 

Wonder what other things Indians will come out with condoms for. Here’s  a top contender list:

-Someone will buy the Taj Mahal and the cover it up with Tarpaulin

-Cricket would be played with bats covered in bubble wrap

 

Anyways, coming back to the topic of the post wonder what would happen if phones DID mate. Imagine if a 1100 nailed a W550, would we get a phone that would have a 7 day battery life and play great music or a phone whose juice barely lasts for a day and doesn’t do anything more than make calls? Then brands like Noricsson or Motokia would be available. The “living dangerously” variety of phone would prefer the Chinese mobiles for a bang.

 

Until next time, play safe ;)
