Number ' BY HEART '

Good for Memory this thing on top 

We don't need to remember things thanks to the emerging technologies that make our life much simpler. Add to that , the frequency at which we use the same piece of information in our day to day life , remembering/recollecting it is not a very tough task.

Telecommunication has come a long way in the areas of memory . Growing up , we maintained diaries where the numbers of the people we knew were stored . This is a big reason why we still remember most of our childhood friend's land line numbers since we had to read the number from somewhere and dial it . These numbers were easily memorized on how often we called them .

But now the scenario is different , with mobile phones , one one longer has to remember the contact number of a particular person . The diary that we once had is now a phonebook / contact list where the number is saved and all that the caller has to do is type the name and dial .

My blog today shall talk about memory , mobile phones and my favorite topic , LOVE .

None of us can do without a mobile phone in today's world . We have become slaves to this device with it now becoming an integral part our lives . All information that we have/want to seek can be accessed via a mobile phone . But what happens when our mobile phone gets lost and we spend those few minutes of panic trying to remember whose number we remember by heart is what I shall talk about today.

Who are the people that I could contact in times of such an ' emergency ' . Not including the land line numbers of my childhood friends ( which are now disconnected ) there were 3 mobile numbers till last week that I knew by heart . Till last week . Now there are 4 ( I think you know where we're going )

Let me talk about my 3 ' saviors ' first , then I'll talk about the one that you people want to know about.

1) Daddy - Person who bought me the mobile phone . Remembering his number is my thank you gift

2) Brother - Don't talk to him as much ( I love you Mudit ) but his number is easy to remember

3) Best Friend for the past 5 years - Football , guy/girl issues , the works . Speak to him at least thrice a day.

Do not remember's Mom's number . Doodh Ka Karz . Sorry Mummy .

And now , let's talk about person number 4 ( if you were really smart , you'd skip the start and come right here )

So who is this person number 4 . Let me bring that smile on your faces by stating what I think you guys would have already guessed by now

Savior number 4 is a GIRL ( Here we go again . Adit , you really need to stop )

How do I know her number by heart is not important . It is the WHY do I know her number by heart is what you people want to know .

Well , let me make things more interesting by telling you that her number wasn't that easy to memorize . So WHY do I know it ?

Secondly , I don't communicate that often with #4 that often . So WHY do I know those 10 digits at the back of my hand and not someone's else who I talk to much more . #4 might be down the pecking order when it comes to who I'll call in an emergency . #4 might/will surely find it extremely odd ( I'm hoping she finds it funny ) that I remember her number . What follows should such an event in the future occur is what I am looking forward to with eager anticipation.

To the people around me - If you want to know who this person is , all you need to do is ... I won't tell you who I called , she will tell you people who called her .

And last but not the least a song for all you people which is very close to our hearts
