I had lent my mobile charger to a colleague one friday, who forgot to return it to me and thus I was left without a charger for the weekend. When my mobile started giving 'battery low' signals, I went to my next door neighbour's place in search of a charger.
Uncle opened the door, I told him that in case he used a Nokia set I would like to have the charger for a while. He said he wasn't aware of what set he used and immediately went in to get his mobile. After a minute's invetigation he said his was a 'Hutch' mobile, so his charger would be of no use to me.
Before I could say anything aunty came out and asked what the confusion was about. When uncle explained to her she too went in search of her mobile and after a carefull investigation she too expressed that her charger would also be of no use as it was an 'Airtel' mobile.
By that time I had seen that both used Nokia sets. So I asked uncle if I could take his 'Hutch' charger for a while and see if I could somehow manage with it. Uncle was only too happy to be of some help atleast. He got me his hutch charger and I hastily took leave.
Later when I informed him that his hutch charger worked fine with my nokia mobile, needless to say both uncle and aunty were awestruck with the advancement technology has made.

I always wondered why a few people could never bring their own mobile chargers even if they apparently needed them twice daily. Moreover, once the charging was done they always seemed to forget who they had 'relayed' it to. Probably they decided against risking losing their own chargers to the people of their own 'tribe'.
Was just wondering: Did they all use "Idea" mobiles? May be the wisdom came along with the sim card .
I always felt angry/upset at a co-worker of mine who would be a voluntary victim of this "grand-scheme". She had an 'enlightenment' later on though.
funny. it happens. gen gap. just remembered one indianism while reading ur post. we Indians tend to refer to strangers as 'uncle' and 'aunts' :)
You know what many people who use mobile phone don’t know how to operate it even if they do they don't have the curtsy, just few days back I was in a meeting my cell phone was on silent mode after the meeting was over I got 30 missed call from the same no I called up the person he wanted some information which was not that important after giving him the information I told him that Sir! My handset has a unique feature whenever somebody calls me his no is displayed on my handset and I get a missed call. I think he got the msg
Wow, that was a good antidote after the gruelling week at office. Keep up the good work. Its really commendable. :)
