Smart phone

Sad but trueA teacher after the dinner she started checking homework done by the students. Her husband is strolling around with a smart phone playing his favourite game ‘Candy Crush Saga’.When reading the last note, the wife starts crying with silent tears.Her husband saw this and asked, ‘Why are you crying dear? What happened?’Wife: ‘Yesterday I gave homework to my 1st Standard students, to write something on topic -My Wish-.’Husband: ‘OK, but why are you crying?’Wife: ‘Today while checking the last note, it makes me crying.’Husband curiously: ‘What’s written in the note that makes you crying?’Wife: ‘Listen’My wish is to become a smart phone.My parents love smart phone very much.They care smart phone so much that sometimes they forget to care me.When my father comes from office tired, he has time for smart phone but not for me.When my parents are doing some important work and smart phone is ringing, within single ring they attend the phone, but not me even...even if I am crying.They play games on their smart phones not with me.When they are talking to someone on their smart phone, they never listen to me even if I am telling something important.So, My wish is to become a smart phone.After listening the note husband got emotional and asked the wife, ‘who wrote this?’.Wife: ‘Our son’.Gadgets are beneficial, but they are for our ease not to cease the love amongst family and loved ones.Children see and feel everything what happens with & around them. Things get imprinted on their mind with an everlasting effect. Let’s take due care, so that they do not grow with any false impressions.

  • @ Mishaikh, I do agree with that guy. You are lucky if you don't like to use cellphone.
  • Thanks for this reminder. from now on i need to learn to stay away from my mobile before it's too late,lol. but my friends said that they almost never have time to check their phone while having baby. the case you mention above must be happen for parents with grow up / teenager child. am i right? :)

  • A post with a good message to all the people who stay glued to their phones for hours. Specially, parents have a lot of responsibilities towards their children and they should know that children need more attention than their smart phones. 

    Thanks for this blog, Jyoti. 

  • I do not know how to use a cell properly.  I never did.  Recently I am keeping one to be incontact with my wife in USA, but it most of the time is switched off, because I do not take it with me.

    May be I am lagging behind the modern world.  Once I was a courier centre. The attendant asked me to give him my cell phone number.  "I do not keep a cell phone!" I told him.  "YOU ARE VERY LUCKY GUY SIR!" This was his remarks.

  • Thanks for liking seeker, yes specially for the children. They are suffering because of their parents
