My Nokia 3315

Yea...you guessed right, I'm still the owner of this vintage Nokia. It's one of my dearest possessions.
Got it in September of 2003 when I first joined work after graduation. Has been with me at all times, wherever I've been.. one thing that I can rely on :-)

What have I done in turn? Dropped it umpteen times, forgotten it at different places, only to be returned to me by some good souls.

Last month, after I returned home from a two day Coorg trip, my poor cell had gone down after being hungry without charge for two days. I tried different chargers, different plug points - at home, at work, at a friend's place ...but no...nothing changed...I thought it was dead forever :-(

After almost a month of being without a cellphone, I decided to go for a new one. Hubby and I went to a mobile shop at Jaynagar 4th Block. We had almost zeroed in on a new model. But the hunch that my 3315 was still not dead was very strong. I always thought it was immortal.
With a slim beam of hope, I plugged the shopkeeper's charger into it. And lo and behold, it sprung back to life. The phoenix had risen!
Of course! How stupid of me! It was the damn charger that had died. The 3315 was promptly packed with a new charger, and it was alive and kicking yet again.

Last weekend was the height!!!
I dropped my cell and it fell apart into 4 separate parts...the keypad, display, fore cover and the back cover... can you believe? But after all this, it was still in good order !!

I realized I've started taking my phone too much for granted ! Thinking about it I have concluded that

1. It happens coz I do not handle it with care.

Remedy :- Handle the cell with utmost care.

2. It also happens coz I do not have a cell-phone cover!

Remedy :- Get a cover for the cell, so that I can atleast avoid the cell from falling apart into shards!!

Pasta and Russian Salad!!

Last week was hectic and full of tension @ work. Hubby had gone to Delhi on an official trip for 4 days. I had decided to stay back alone!! I had not done this before but I gathered all courage I could and nodded in agreement when he asked me if I would stay back all by myself. I managed it as well :-)
When he got back, he treated me to some yummy Italian food! - mouth watering Pasta and delectable Russian salad..drool drool drool..The very mention of these is mouth watering!! And guess what, the best part was, I sat back and relaxed and caught up on a whole lot of gossip with a friend while our hubbies did the culinary honors. I guess this is what they call an icing on the cake :-)
