No Cellphone please

I woke up late to office wondering why the alarm didn't go off... then I realized I wasn't using the phone any longer. Woke up and got ready in a hurry and went to the bus stop but couldn't text anyone if the bus had already gone or ask them to stop the bus since there was no cellphone. I reached office and did not find anyone to go for cofy, so I wanted to find out where ppl are, then realized I could not do that either because........ so I waited. The whole day my hand was reaching out for my left pocket to check for new messages, any calls that I have missed or to simply check time but it was disappointed every time!! So far, Cell phone renunciation has caused more problems than it solved. I began to wonder if the decision was correct but decided to go through it for another week. At the end of the day - there were no personal loans to be taken, no credit cards to be issued, no flat sale messages to distract you from working.....

  The next day I woke up well before time(with almost 2 hours to spare before the bus arrived), afraid to sleep again risking the shuttle. So I had ample time to finish my morning activities, even shuffle through the paper, eat breakfast(which I usually miss as a routine) and was well early to the bus stop. And at office the mystery continued of absent people yet I had no choice but to wait :) By the end of the week, I was still waking up far too early than I needed to but I was able to sleep early at nights(which I have been unable to achieve for the past 7 years!!). Also, I seem to have developed some patience. The pleasures are yet to be found to the fullest and the pains are yet to be explored in the widest sense but the journey sure is exciting.
