Random Thought XXVIII

As everyone must have heard about uproar that as been caused by Jaswant Singh's latest book where he called Jinnah, a Secular and blamed Nehru, Patel for the partition, So I was also reading articles about it and the debate that it had started. So this thought came to my mind

"Why is it called Partition of India and not creation of Pakistan? When a mother gives birth to a baby its said that a baby has born and never like a baby has been partitioned/separated. Because to put it plainly, it was something which everybody knew that wasn't correct "

Its indeed a very debatable topic and I really differ to comment more until I am fully aware of all the facts. But nevertheless a random thought.

Black or White who is more colored ?

So true...Most people like to experience pain because it makes them appreciate the good things more.

You can't have everything...

Well I have been using my Didibhai's cell phone since last 2 odd years and since my earlier phone (Nokia 1100..... I love it) din't have FM or Mp3 support so I was happy to use Didibhai's phone as it had both. But after using it for few months ,I broke the original ear phones and ever since then I been trying hard to use it properly as since then I have not found any shop that sells the original ear phones and have to do with local ones. These local ones have two problems, first they don't fit properly in the slot and second they are so fragile (and with my kind of handling) they broke down after every few months. So in order to make them fit I used to insert a pin or any thing that could hold them in the jack and as a result of that the slot got widened.

So I decided after much struggle to get the slot replaced with a new one . Although I was apprehensive about getting the original replaced with a local one but since I was really frustrated so I went ahead and got it replaced this Saturday. And since my last ear phones had broke down so I couldn't test it and waited till Sunday to get a new ear phone.

But don't know on Sunday something stuck me and I inserted the old ear phone and it detected it and as they were broken I could not test it properly. After that I took the ear phone but to my horror it didn't detect that it has been removed and all my attempts after that to make it come out of headset mode as been futile.

I purchased a new ear phone and its working fine. It fits well, let me make and receive calls and I can hear while sleeping without thinking whether it will come out or not .. in short everything you could do with an ear phone but it doesn't let me get out of the headset mode :(.... and I don't get to know if its ringing or not unless I have the ear phones on, which I can't have all the time. :(

Although I will get it corrected by today but still the old saying holds true "You can't have everything" :)
