Changing times

The time has been changed and it changed really fast. Everything has come under a single smart phone that has affected people's lives the most. Around 2008, when I started travelling in trains from Valsad to Surat, it was a time when people used to listen songs loudly in their china made phones which might have 8 to 16 in built speakers. Then came Bluetooth, by which small media was transferred from one device to other. Later came 3gp video format. I still remember many people used to have desi porn content carrying in mobile and discussed with each other,

"Arre woh Kosamba wala kand dekha kya? Nahi? Bluetooth chalu kar abhi bhejta hoon."

Just like this life was anyhow running in public transport. Later I went Delhi where people in metro are not allowed to play songs. So I forgot how the people behaved in trains in Gujarat. When I came back from Delhi spending 2 years, China made phones were replaced by android devices (we call them smartphones). These phone has got MX player that has the ability to play all types of video formats. So people downloaded movies which were available on sites and kept on watching them. As the time was running, the technology in android devices has even become more friendly.

Surfing with smartphone or suffering with smartphone? :)

Nowadays you can transfer any size files from one device to other in a blink of an eye. The technology has made phones smarter but see on the other side, people have lost smartness. Just before all these stuff, there was a different atmosphere in trains, especially in Mumbai local, people used to play cards, have gup shup until their destinations, they sang bhajans etc etc. But now everything has been changed. Everyone has the expensive smart phone that has maximum features. Today, if the movie is released at 11 am, it's copy arrives in market by 2 am. And it is even free on cost. By 8 am, the file has been copied thousand times! People do not talk to each other, the keep looking into devices. Candy Crush, WhatsApp, Facebook and other applications never allows one person to look above. Necks are always down and so the attitude is higher.
