The following narrative is an excerpt from a certain Mr. ABC's personal diary which he writes daily. Dont confuse it with an MS diary!
This is a true story…the story of my Ericsson. My lovely, big, brown, shining little Ericsson (‘little’ is figurative, though!)
It is still somewhat a matter of debate as regards the exact age at which boys generally get to experience their first Ericssons. With access to free information becoming the norm rather than the exception, boys and girls are getting to know about Ericssons as early as 8 or so. It isn’t odd anymore to find smart little 5th graders openly discussing explicit subjects like unclothed human anatomy and Ericssons.
Okay, scientific theories apart, most of the boys I know had acquired nice-looking Ericssons by the time they turned 15 or so; some even earlier. How glorious their Ericssons looked! And what variety…large, small, slender, heavy, light, round, thick, thin, fat, fixed, sliding, black, red… one of the guys even had a golden Ericsson! Alas, not me.
I am all of 25 years old, but I didn’t have an Ericsson until now. I used to croak in disgust when I looked at the Ericssons of others and endeavoured to compare them with mine …ugh! Mine was an unsightly, wee little pathetic tool which could barely answer the calls. And which promptly lost all power as soon as I took it out and began to play with it a little bit!
Perhaps that was the reason why I didn’t have any girlfriends too. When the dudes in my office flaunted their Ericssons, the girls used to gather around them in circles and heave their bosoms heavily, uttering complex vocalisations like ‘Wowweeeee’ and ‘Aaaooooh’ in a single breath. Seeing such merriment and gaiety I felt gradually sucked in a vortex of gloom. And wondered “God, when will thee ordain an Ericsson for me…sigh!”
And then, it happened to me one day. Out of the blue. I couldn’t believe my luck. After all these years of waiting, there it was. I had an Ericsson…finally! My tribulations were forgotten in an instant. A new wave of energy swept my soul. Ericsson had transported me into a fascinating realm of boisterous manhood. Life wasn’t the same anymore. The dudes in my office suddenly became dodos; jealous of me.
I know why. My Ericsson was the most impressive of them all! Soon I was swarmed by girls….everyone wanting to have a look at my new Ericsson…admiring it, touching it, pressing it here and there, and even giving it a tight little squeeze every now and then. Imagine my excitement when Kundu’s gf came over and actually kissed my Ericsson! Had he seen that, Kundu would have committed suicide!
To avoid getting scratches, I keep my Ericsson neatly covered. I have figured out a way to answer calls without having to take it out every time. However, before I go to sleep, I take it out and play with it a little bit. It has become quite addictive, you see.
I have to admit that the two things which have given me the most pleasure in my life are….my pen, and my…Ericsson.*

My newly acquired Sony Ericsson K790i (Bronze) is a sexy little killer. The stunning handset weighs 115 grams and comes with features like a 3.2 megapixel Cyber-shotTM camera, powerful xenon flash, a 2 inch 256K TFT display, joystick, hotkeys for Net Browser and pics, memory card slot with dust cover, sliding lens cover, plastic and rubber finish on the body, FM tuner, earplugs and Bluetooth & USB connectivity. Sound quality is quite decent. The camera is exceptionally brilliant, allowing me to get creative with options and customisations like Modes (Auto, Landscape, Portrait, Twilight Landscape, Twilight Portrait, Beach/Snow, Sports, and Document), Flash/Red Eye Reduction, Macro/Infinite focus, Image Stabilization, Lighting Conditions (Daylight, Cloudy, Fluorescent, Incandescent), BestPicTM, Panorama, BurstTM and a host of other interesting features. I got this piece of meat from Hotspot for Rs 9600/-; the introductory price being Rs. 18500/- a couple of years back. Scratching at the right placeand at the right time afforded me a cool discount of 20%, and the 790i was mine for just Rs. 7700/- !
Life can’t get better than this.
