What’s your land line number?

Gone are the days of monophonic ring-tones and gone are the days of Nokia 5110 (the antenna phone). Getting a mobile phone and a connection is no hassle now.
And Affordability? That’s not a valid question anymore!

But have we ignored something in the ever-evolving dynamic mobile revolution?

Well in my case, the answer itself brought this question to my notice.

It so happened that I was alone at home for a while and the phone rang. No, not my mobile (I was already busy chit-chatting on it). It was our land line phone! The black Beetel beauty that was the pride of Indian households until about a decade back.

And this post is dedicated to the era of that pride with which all Indians about my age held the receivers as a kid to pose for photographs. Nostalgic.

And now it lies still most of the time, with no one to take care of it. The poor soul, keeps ringing (rarely now) with no one keen enough to attend.

Even at most workplaces the good old wired BSNL has been replaced by private players’ connections.

Well, jane wale nai aate, bas unki yaad aati hai, so is the case here. Sooner or later the only place we could catch a glimpse of these gadgets would be Google!

Until next time..
