The mobile…

The old alarm clock, all keyed

would wake me up with a shrill

without an option of a snooze

now, my mobile does it!

The camera loaded with a roll

a willing companion on all holidays

met with an untimely death,

thanks to the mobile.

The library was a haven

to satiate the questioning mind

books were man’s best friend

now, the mobile answers it all!

Indulgence in shopping

was a rare extravaganza

a well planned outing

Now, my mobile shops for me from home!

Squeals of delight on

getting my first calculator

still echo in my ears

now, my mobile has replaced it!

Back then, kids were always outdoors

with the lazy noon spent

playing board games

but now they have the mobiles!

Accompanying dad to the bank

standing in the queue

to get the job done

now, it’s all on the mobile.

Meeting with family and friends
