dettachments from attachments

Importance of the so called cell phone ..
there was a time when i refused to have a cell phone .. coz somewhere i thought i dont need it and after all i was just a student who didnt earn any money, so how could i add on the monthly expenses of the cell phones on my parents ..

then came the time when i had to take one ..then i bought my own cell phone .. well well well ...

Its not abt that phone .. but its abt my recent phone .. which accidently slipped out of my hand n fell flat on the floor ....it was nokia phone so i thought its okay .. i keep dropping my cell phones .. its not a new thing .. but when i picked it up ... its display was all cracked .. and so was my heart;s condition .. i had heard .. that it pains when u break something which was bought with the hard earned money .. yup i got to feel the pain ..whole day went in same thoughts :(
even went to the cell phone place .. they wont gimme a new phone .. not even anyphone ...
okay !

But i gotto have one soon .. these days i dont maintain any phone books ...so all the contacts are gone ..except the few which i remember .. thank goodness i still have some gray cells !

It hurts more coz i have never been tech savy .. but this time i splurged into the same race and spent quite a bit .. but of no use .. didnt even use it for 3 months .. aaahhhhh...

well i realised how materialistic i have become .. a simple breaking of cell phone reminded me of that .. and hence i decided tht such a small object cant make me feel sad .. or make me angry ..
Its worldly attachment ..

one small gadget ..thanks for the reminder ...

On the path of spirituality, if i want to climb one step higher ,
i got to dettach from the attachments !!!!!
