MOBILE HERDS
The next group of herds belong to "Mobile herds".
It all started in 2003 when a reknown company in its endeavour to capture market brought mobiles costing Rs. 500/- to the market.All herds bought that 3rd class handsets to join the grade of "Mobile owners".
Now this concept called mobile, instead of becoming a facilitator ,has become a menace.
A college boy who does not earn a single paisa wants mobile worth 25K.A daylabourer whose earning does not exceed 100Rs/per day wants a mobile worth 15000/-.
After all what is a mobile.It is a way of communication.Its mobile because you can carry the phone to wherever you go.Thats it.However now it has become a thing of prestige.A person without having a fancy mobile is considered as worthless.
Any instrument ,if used appropriately becomes an advantage.However here people have made it a menance.Handset manufacturer's bring new model every 2nd day and people make a beeline to mobile shops to buy it.Then mobile operators bring a new plan with lowered call rate every 2nd week.X mobile to X mobile free,10 paise per minute,5 paise per minute......so on.
Starting from house to streets, to bus to train to office to parks everywhere people talk..talk...talk.... they do not know what they are talking.they do not know whether its necessary..They do not know how distrurbing it can be for others....
The owner of a famous transport co was attending a function and he was accompanied by a famous editor of a news magazine.
This editor found that this transporter is using a second hand mobile set.He asked"Arrey.. you are a owner of a 350 crore group and you make use of a second hand mobile set.Very very funny and surprising.This transporter replied"For me the mobile is only a means to communicate with other person.Nothing more ,nothing less".
Yes.Today's world needs speed.Mobile is unavoidable.That does not mean you have to spend 20 k when your Income is 5k.That does not mean we have to waste our time and disturb others by talking talking and talking.....
When I walk on the roads ,its difficult to make out who is nuts and who is fair...!!!
Both manufacturers and mobile operators have made and making enough business of these herds.The amount of money these companies spend on marketing their products and services respectively is mind boggling......
that day is not far when a customer care executive of a mobile company calls you on the day a new baby is born and says "Sir we have a wonderfull plan for you.Please leave your address with us.Our "SIM Doctor" will visit your place and have the "SIM VACCINATION " to your baby.By 6 months your baby will have an inbuilt mobile sir.Sir the SIM has life time validity"!!!
