Buzz-Kill-Blackberry.

"It's just a phone"
"It's awesome"
"It's just a phone"
"WOAH. WHY does her BBM status say DMFL? WHO IS DM?
"Does it look like I care?"
"Ugh! You're just jealous because you don't have a Blackberry!"

BITE ME.
You have it. She has it. He has it. Every freaking person has it. And this is why Blackberrys have been annoying the shit out of me for a very long time now :

1. People are CONSTANTLY putting up statuses on Facebook on the lines of  "BBM Pin- FalanaDhimkana57" Not only that, I suddenly have EVENT INVITATIONS for adding people on BBM. What is happening to you, world? :O

2. Kids HALF my age have Blackberry phones. I mean the chunnus, the munnus, even the chotus. Because hey, in this day and age, kids haven't even hit puberty, but hey, they sure have a business phone. Which brings me to the million dollar question -WHAT DO KIDS NEED BUSINESS PHONES FOR? :O Enlighten me, someone? And then of course, coming back to Facebook, how can I possibly ignore the "OH AIMM GEE! I am so happy! Thank you for gifting me the Blackberry daddy! I love you :**** " statuses? Yes kid, the daddy you just screamed your lungs at till he bought that piece of scrap metal for you loves you too.

3. MUNCHING. I know taking screen shots can be fun[hell, haven't you seen my "EEEE! I have this many followers now! =D" posts yet?] But seriously, the world DOES NOT want to know about the random conversation you had with so and so person. And no, I did not find that excerpt from your mundane conversation minutely funny, I don't know how you did. Some of them could be interesting yes, but kindly clarify how . . . .
ABC : So . . . sup?
XYZ : Nothing I'm just celebrating a holi day.
ABC : HOLI? This time of the year?
XYZ : Abbey HOLIDAY! Chhutti!
ABC : Ohh. Why did you leave a space between the two words then? ROFLMAO.
XYZ : LOLOLOLOLOLOL.


. . .  would be the first thing I'd want to see when I log in after slogging my ass off, trying to learn the principle behind the Van De Graff generator? Go on, tell me?

4. BBM DPs.
"Omg! I am with my bee aiff aiff!"
Click.
"Omg! I am at the Justin Beiber concert"
Click.
"Omg I'm in the loo!"
Click.
Well frankly my dear, I don't give a damn. PLUS, you'd be surprised to hear these are considerably tolerable in comparison to what's coming next . . .
"Omg! I am supporting Anna Hazare! Wooohoo. Anna you're the dude! (y)
Shows two women pouting away to glory while the seriously interested folks shoot disgusted looks in their direction.
Ladies, you don't know the first thing about protest marches,do you? Well it starts with,umm I don't know, leaving your phones behind and fighting for the cause instead.


I believe Blackberrys are hyped beyond comparison. Here's why :
1. Sucky memory space.
2. Suck-ier camera.
3.Bid farewell to your beloved cellphone games. Go ahead, say buh bye?
4. Costs you ATLEAST 400 bucks for BBM+internet.
    On the other hand on a normal Nokia handset, Rs. 98-----> Whatsapp+Internet.
5. With all this shit, you'd think it'd cost you a little less. But no my dear cupcakes, you are highly mistaken.

At the rate at which people are buying them,soon the sabzi wala will be found flaunting one, making important calls and sending e-mails to his business associates at the mandi. And no fellas, this is not me being a bitch who's trying to imply that sabzi walas should not be in possession of cellphones. This is just me, being immensely sarcastic.
I still insist, this is a conspiracy against humanity. We're just making it easier for whichever cult or secret society or well,little green men aiding these operations, to control us. One little glitch and the entire world's cellphones will be as good as scrap pieces of metal from the junkyard.And then, the onslaught will commence. . . .
Having said all this, I am well aware of the fact that once this faithful friend of mine retires and a choice is given to me, with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes, I will be found pointing at that little black box in my nearest cellphone store. Well you read the "About me" section alright, hypocrite and not proud of it! Damn you, freaking peer pressure! And sorry, other better, much deserving phones. You are exceptionally talented, well endowed. But you see, I am yet another sheep of the herd controlled by a canadian company[If I were Barney, I'd be ashamed of myself] So tada to you better cameras, better memory space, better battery lives, clearer screens and hello to the menace which has been imposed on me by societal pressure.
For as a wise man[Read: My boyfriend] once rightly said "Oh you will most definitely get a Blackberry Ruhani. The question is WHEN."

Yours sincerely and tear eyed-ly[Yes, I just made that word up. Creative liberties FTW.]
Ruhani

The opinions expressed here are of yours truly. This post wasn't written to offend any individual or group.But 14 year old if you're reading this and you have a Blackberry, it sure in hell was written to offend you.

      Oh by all means, go ahead and write a sequel lady! I have been waiting for someone to write for like three days now! :o I was going to write an ending to it today if nobody sent me a link! :/

      Delete
    2. Haha NLFL! Ok I can do it by tomorrow. So would it be part 7 or 8, I'm confused. There are so many of them. Or I can write a sequel in a way for you to end it. Your call bro.

    3. Seven I'm guessing. Okay babe :)

    4. Chub! Thought of something. Writing the end. Work up for a new story now. =)

    5. No no don't write the ending! I am writing the ending! Just write something BEFORE the ending, okay? :)

  2. could not agree MORE. I was LOL-ing all the way to this post, bro. I went echo echo echo. And fuck yeah, about the kids half our size going all over the place with BBM. It's a cultural shock, to say the last when you go to a party and a friggin' 11 YEAR OLD introduces himself saying "Hi, I'm Abu. I'm going to be 12 this year. I have a MacBook and a blackberry and I go to $#@$$ school." -- YES. It happened, I KID YOU NOT.

  3. Seriously man! The Chotu's and Chutki's own a blackberry these days.. I've had just 2 phones till date. My present one is a Nokia 7210 supernova which just has a fractured nose.. ( all thanks to my habit of patkoing it umpteen times a day!) And even though it's about to die my dad refuses to get me a new one... Why, Universe, why? :'(

  4. Blackberry is the only good thing Canada came up with (Barney would say this) but then Google kicked their asses! Android rocks! :D
    And seriously, I don't understand the Blackberry hype amongst kids either. WHY? Did they all graduate at 11 and are now corporate hotshots and need to always check their emails? Am I missing something?

    @Ruhani : You too? :-|

    PS. You should read the files on Wikileaks. There are intelligence companies which actually monitor cellular communications for spying. And it was in The Hindu today that more Indian households have cell phones but don't have toilets! :O

  7. Awesome.
    I am a Nokia user though. Even after breaking, three Nokia handsets, I prefer Nokia.

    I used to hear Blackberry a lot often till the last year. But then came iPhone; now with "Siri" ! The place where I stay, Adults use a Samsung or Nokia phone while the kids show off their iPhone, even when they don't have any work with the phone, they just keep flashing. F*ing Irritating!

    Loved your Post, though ! :)
    Take Care. :)

  9. Hahah! Loved the post! Liked the bit about it being a business phone the most.
    See i frankly dont give a damn who prefers what phone, who flaunts which brand and so on, but i think its plain silly that having a BB is considered 'cool'. And that most people merely buy it because its Blackberry and for BBM and no other reason. But hats off to them for having created a phone that isnt that good, but people still hanker for it likes its the best thing that has been invented after the wheel! Pretty cool marketing and perhaps luck. So even people like you, who hate it, STILL want to buy it. Kuch toh hai boss.

    1. It is NOT cool. It's annoying :@
      Yeah I know. And mean whyyyyy? It's like you pay ATLEAST 10 grand for BBM, and then keep paying for it every month too. Suckaaay.
      I know man. That's the irony of life :|

  16. Oh , man !!! you totally killed it. Especially , the last lines ( offending the 14 year old BB holder ) LOL :D
    Yes , yes , BB's are over-hyped and so over-Used.
    What makes it worse : the BB folks don't even know why they are chirping over the top about a buisness phone. * sad *
    And what is with the FUNKY covers they buy for them . Green , yellow??!! eh !!
    Wasie FUN post hai . Enjoyed reading . :-)

  17. Hahahaha I loved this!!

  19. Oh Ruhani *gets nostalgic thinking back to the days when the author of this post would give my phone the shitty stare and reiterate that she would NEVER buy this phone* xD
    Welcome to the canthelpusingablackberryclub. :P
    For your games, you have an iPad. For memory space, there are micro SD cards, for cameras, there's your DSLR, but for BBM? There's only the BlackBerry. So call it"peer pressure" but it's actually you reasoning out with yourself and deciding on the BB.:P
    (No I don't love my BlackBerry. It's SLOW and feature-less. But reading about your recent change of stand makes me want to endorse it a little ;) )

    1. Okay here's a change in plan. I don't think I am going to buy it after all =P

  20. Hahahahahhahhaha, your posts made me fill my eyes with sobs of laughter.......hahahhahahha, i hate BBM's
    its like, A BBM does not get you closer to someone, but rather it takes the person sitting next to you away.

    I mean, how can people live with 24*7 intrusion in their life?
    I just love the old Nokia classic+ add a music player to it...I too have a Nokia, the kinds which does not have irritating, ovi, android, etc, appas on it, its simple and lets me breathe....
    hahahhaah



    this one time we were at a party, waiting for a girl to arrive,but before she arrived, we got to know what she was wearing thanks to her bbm dp....
    Hahhaaha, kudos!!

  27. I possess a BB and sadly , i was crazy to buy it once upon a time. I haven't regretted any decision more than this.
    I don't have BBM, and i wonder how the world is drooling over it.
    True that, the bacchaas are BBMing these days! WTF?!?

    The only good thing I find in it would be that it makes me type amaziingggly fast.
    that's it.
    period.
