Long Distance

(In a gift shop in the old city market)

People used what they called a telephone

because they hated being close together and

they were too scared of being alone.

- Chuck Palahnuik

Nadwrażliwiec said...: I remember first mobile phone in our family. It was big, black "brick". It was 12-13 years ago. Everybody in our housing district could know, who had had mobile phone, because we didn't have range in our flats - so everyone, who had mobile phone and wanted to talk with someone using it, had to lean out the window. Of course, everyone had "normal" phones. Today is completly different situation. Everyone, even children have mobile phones. But people are far and far away...; 25 March 2011 at 02:19

Felisol said...: Dear Amrita,
When Serina was a little girl, I didn't have much time to go around for visits, so I called family and friends instead. One day my little 3 yearling drew on a long sheet telephone lines with hearts in between.It amazed me that the child understood that much; me talking in the phone was heart connecting with hearts. Maybe, because I always let her say some words too, if she felt like that.

Amrita said...: In th e past 15 year s th e telecom industry in India is booming. There are millions of subscribers now. The mobile services are really good and in competition with each other too.

You won 't beleive it but we only got a home phone (land line) installe d in 1995. Before that we used a public booth. Did not miss it too.

A Promise For YesuGarden

8 Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly.
9Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
10Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other.
11Faithfulness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky.
12Yes, the LORD will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase.
13Righteousness will go before him and make his footsteps a way.

Psalm 85
