Cell phones: Necessity or luxury?



The cell phone is an invention over which the youth is going crazy today. It has become the most popular gadget amongst kids as well as the old souls and life seems impossible without this device. No doubt, mobile phones have made our life quite convenient and easy but wait for a moment and ask yourself that are you using your cell phone just to fulfil your basic need? The answer you would probably get will be ‘no’ of course. Stylish cell phones having lots of features in it such as touch screen, android etc. have become a part and parcel of our lives these days and you will be considered outdated if you do not change your model frequently.
I am no one to deny the fact that if you have money in your pocket you can buy anything you want then why not a trendy cell phone that keeps you and your position updated in the society. But what if this so called perception influences the poor, nowadays people earn day and night just to pay their phone bills which is just a mere necessity. If you are living in Pakistan then I would say that it is a necessity for sure keeping the law and order situation of the country in mind.
Talking about our younger generation than I don’t think they know the difference between a necessity and a luxury, for them cell phone is a 24x7 source of entertainment. They don’t need a mobile for calls or messages instead they need tons of ingredients along with it like excellent camera pixels, high quality games, internet, radio and the list go on and on. The exciting packages offered by our cellular companies are just an icing on the cake as they have left no stone unturned in spoiling the youth. Text messaging is putting up such a bad impact like the use of ‘u’ in place of ‘you’ , ‘n’ instead of ‘and’ is a very common mistake nowadays. Children do not indulge themselves in other leisure activities due to these mobile phones. Not only mentally but everyone is effected on physical terms as well due to the injurious electromagnetic rays emitted from the cell phones. The basic use of this device has been forgotten and it has now become more of a luxury item than a necessity of life.

Do vampires really exist?

Image
After the very famous saga of 'Twilight', only one question encounters in my mind that, do VAMPIRES really exist? It seems that no matter how much evidence there is to suggest they either do or don't, most people are not satisfied without a conclusive answer. I suppose it's human nature to want to know definitively, but without hard scientific evidence in hand, how do we determine if vampires really exist or not? Down through time, the human imagination has created fantastic beings solely for the thrill factor. But none of these compare with the dark and erotic creature known as the 'vampire'. People that fear daylight, have yellow fang-like teeth, animal-looking nails, pale white skin does exist. The cruelest accident happened in Great Britain 4 years ago. A 17-year teenager slaughtered his female neighbour, teared out her heart and sucked out blood to gain immortality. In the Middle Ages the legend about vampires was complemented with the informa...

My first blogging experience...

Blogging! What is it? How to do it? Why should I do it? So many questions, but you will not get the answer unless you just grab your keyboard and start writing your heart out into words. Whatever you are reading right now is my first blog that I have ever written. There are numerous things in life about which you will never get to know whether you can do it or not until you give it a shot. I never thought that I have good writing skills, I never thought I would make my own blog till the day I actually did it.   Blogging has no boundaries, it includes all kinds of content from our personal thoughts to anything that provides infotainment. My first blogging experience taught me that writing or running a successful blog is a piece of cake if you indulge yourself in the deep sea of words and know how to interact with the reader. An easy and handy way of making people listen to you and spread some awareness in the society is blogging. So, all those readers who haven't ...

Boom Boom will be back!

It's been a while that "Shahid Afridi" had a great fall in his career and his fans just wonder that what has happened to our shining all rounder boom boom Afridi? There was a time when he used to bat, the ball would straight go to the boundary and no where else and his balling only meant taking wickets. But now it seems we have lost our star, now it just takes a couple of minutes for him to get out of the crease, even get out on duck and now the stumps don't fall down when he bowls. He really needs to take some time out for himself, relax and start all over again. The people of Pakistan and even his fans abroad loves him to the most and all the Afridi lovers want him to get back with a bang on the opponent's faces just as he did in the 3rd ODI against South Africa, he played a striking innings of 88 runs off 48 balls with a great strike rate of 183 and 42 runs were only of 7 great sixes. He also broke the world record of longest six in the crick...
