My mom and mobile phones

Mobile phones are magical. They have touched almost every other life on this planet.

Last week I was talking to my mom in India. Every morning, my mom goes out to listen to spiritual discourses. Since her surgery, she can’t go out. Therefore, she is using her mobile phone to listen to them every morning from home. I was amazed to hear that. It’s almost her private live mobile-cast of the spiritual discourses. She calls up this girl on her reliance mobile phone, who keeps her mobile phone in front of the speaker. And she can listen to the spiritual discourses every morning for free. The mobile service she uses, allows her to talk for free across India.

And I was wondering, why her mobile phone was engaged every night my time (every morning her time) for so long :)

On Thanksgiving my dad’s cell phone rang. He went into the other room to talk to one of my brothers who lives 3000 miles away. When he came back into the room he said “I love this phone. If I didn’t have this phone I wouldn’t have talk to (my brother) near as much as I do. It’s so easy when we both carry our phones in our pockets.” And that statement made me glad I had pushed him to get the cell phone in the first place :)

Thanks for sharing this story. It’s really wonderful how cell phones are keeping the families together.
