Life without the cell phone!

[Cinefan]

I came across this real life experience of a journalist who had to go a week without the cell.I got me thinking as I faced the same situation today,went the first half without the cell&I was in a state of anxiety as if something untoward is going to happen/has happened.The relief I felt when it started working again cannot be described.So,all cell users out there,can you give up the cell altogether?Have you faced a situation when you forgot the cell/it was under repair/lost&how did you feel.

Cinefan,

Read thru' the rediff article... nice read, a bit refelecting on ourselves!

On the contrary, I could remember reading a survey sometime back in which many executives had replied that the first utility they'll opt out if given a chance was - cellphone. The next was-emails. Thinking of it, if bosses were ripped of cellphones and stopped from reading emails, why do we pay them for??
