Some places stay with you long after life has moved elsewhere. There is something strange about destiny. You just cannot overcome it, but at the same time, you cannot simply do nothing because something is destined to happen. In India, it is not uncommon to have your horoscope charted about a year after birth. Grandparents wait with bated breath to hear how well the stars were aligned, and what remedies might be needed to appease the Gods.

Moto....

After a lot of thought, I decided to toe the line. Yes! finally picked a mobile from Motorola (V360 to be precise).

This phone has an mp3 player with an add-on memory slot. I have just got a 64MB TransFlash Micro SD card which I was pretty excited about. If a media player with 64MB sounds interesting, imagine the latest release from SONY with its new model W950 on Feb 13.

This phone has an FM radio and of course a walkman phone with a memory capacity of 4GB!!!!

Technology truly path-breaking!!!
