WHY DO I LOSE MOBILE?

I have been a mobile user from the past 3 years and in that span I have lost 3 mobiles!!! And believe me I don’t lose things that easily, so I decided to write a blog as a tribute to my lost cell phones
Mobile 1: The final year of MSc, all are busy preparing for the last exam i.e. the viva voce of the final year project. We were called into a room to give instructions and our respective bags were placed outside the room. After which we departed to our allotted rooms for viva. After finishing my viva smoothly, I decided to give a call to Aunt L about my great achievement! And I dig into my bag only to find my mobile missing. The next 30 minute were spent by my friends in searching the mobile in the entire college campus. Alas! I wasn’t destined that way; I lose my mobile 1, a Nokia 1100 and am sad that I lose it. The next step is to retrieve the same number which is as follows:
Step 1: Go to a nearby police station, they have a template ,write a story using the same template, which briefly states that on my way from place 1 to place 2 the mobile fell from my pocket along with the sim (this is their actual pattern for everyone who lose their mobile)
Step 2: Take a photocopy of the letter and 1 is filed in police station, the other is given to customer care of your network and then they give you your number
Step 3: Buy a new mobile, use social networking to get back all the lost numbers of family and friends
Mobile 2: I am at home it’s the lovely monsoon of the coast, after talking to a friend I place the mobile in the telephone desk and after around 3 hrs when I decide to check on my pj’s, I cannot find it, search begins and no one knows where it is, I thought of all extreme possibilities where it would be some of which were- Jadoo (the alien in Koi Mil Gaya)-because he is active in daytime, my brothers and their pranks, evil spirits, Day time robbery etc. The three steps were carried out meticulously. It was a Nokia 1600.
Mobile 3: I am walking very briskly as I have to catch a bus home, its night and it’s a crowded bus stop and the cool atmosphere puts a pressure on my kidneys which in turn on my bladder and so I got to pee. I move to the rest room which is one of the filthiest place but one has to do what has to be done! Unfortunately my mobile slips and lands up in the gutter and I stand there and think -goodbye mobile I will miss you…I do know what awaits after this which is series of laughter from family and friends. By the way no one is really sad that I lose mobile! It was a Nokia 1650
The steps are not followed as I change my number, well step 3 is still valid, but during one of the gang meeting of my pals, (which I couldn’t attend) 5 minutes of condolence was offered to my mobile with continuous laughter and bad jokes!! So I am just about finishing my blog when I receive a message in my mobile which is from Dillz “Hi dear, cell loser, how are you?”
So the question arises again why do I keep losing mobiles? My brother has a simple answer he says “Stop buying Dabba cell phones”.!!!
