Sometimes I wonder....
Technology has made our lives so bloody comfortable, people find going to the loo Work. But there are some things people just can't get the hang of. One of these is called - HANDSFREE. Ya know, the attachment for your mobile phone which basically is just an earphone (like the one with your walkman) with a fancy name given to it by the likes of Nokia and Sony Ericsson.
If you walk around in Bombay, at any time of the day, you'll find at least 60% of the people yapping away on their Mobiles. Most of these are the kind who think "Many Happy Returns Of The Day" is ONLY a Birthday greeting. Anyway...
Some of these, generally the sophisticated looking of the lot, have a long thin wire coming outta their phones that go all the way down to their knees and come right back up into their ears. Yup, you guessed it right - The HANDSFREE!! Well, it starts something which you put into to a Hole in the phone (sounds kinky, eh??? ;)). After that is the wire which later on, at a junction which is the antenna/mike, splits into two parts that have little bud-like thingies at the ends which you put into the Holes of your ears. :P
Basically, this Handsfree thingy has been designed for a certain purpose. It enables you to take calls, talk, end calls, change radio stations.... without actually having to handle the phone instrument. In short, talk with your Hands Free. Hands-Free, see?
But there are people who insist on holding the antenna thingy to their mouths as if they were hanging on for dear life. Well, its designed to pick ups sounds from as far as 3-4 feet. So you can let it hang, your voice would still reach out to it. But no, from the moment the phone rings, these idiots cling on to it like people would to a Jesus Christ/Bajrangbali locket in the middle of a quake. Doesn't that kill the whole purpose of its invention?? Its even named after what its supposed to do. Again, Hands-Free, see? Go figure!
But Handsfree, not really, as long as people would insist on acting in a way I mentioned earlier and give people like me the pleasure of having a laugh at the expense of their ignorance. Sheesh!! So much for the Sophisticated look, so much for technological inventions, so much for comfort and so much for HANDSFREE!!
Cheers!

P.S. : I wonder if anybody still uses the walkman! I do for one.
