My First Experience
This was my first experience, i had never imagined that i would do this. It all happened out of my control, it was pretty embarassing when everyone who knew about it asked me how can you be so careless :-(
hey guys, dont imagine anything else, I have just lost my mobile. Just ?!!! how could i ever say so carelessly that i just lost my mobile ??!?!!?!
When i was in back in Cal, I never wanted to buy a mobile even when everyone in our AL 111 & FC 25 house had a mobile, happily chatting and murmering with thier partners. Somehow i felt that it was a kind of chain to our freedom. Either from work or from home, something or the other would disturb the freedom i would be njoying in streets of kolkata.
but atlast after 1.5 years of completion, my mom started pestering me daily to get a mobile, so that she could call me even when i forget for weeks.
with halfmind i started looking for mobiles and easily settled with Sony Ericsson J200i and it was the day next to 2005 new year, i brought this mobile. eventhough i was halfminded when i brought this little stuff, it took my heart like anything. The damn cool ringtones and especially the Sony famous crystal clear sound made me different from the crowd of nokias.
It was just 2 months then, i had to leave to Onsite and i didnt want to leave this mobile not even to my bro, so took it with me even after knowing that i couldnt use this. and now i start using it after 8 months of break and in just 2 weeks i stand here loosing it :-(
I was travelling from Saidapet bustop to office and it was the start of the week, i had it in the side pocket and half way through the travel i realized that the mobile was missing. Unfortunately to my luck, there were noone with mobile in the bus, i was thinking of giving a call to my mobile immediately to try my luck if at all the culprit had been in the bus that time.
There had been a much dense crowd in Cal bus travels yet, there had never been a situation of theft in the bus atleast :-(

I am so sorry about that.
In a similar incident, I saw few guys (thieves) trying to steal stuffs from people onboard bus. These guys were drunk and boarded on the way. These guys realised that I was closely watching them. One of them came closer and asked me to make way for them to conduct their business smoothly. Another fellow traveller also realised this and got down few stops before from where he exactly wanted to.
Well, this happened during night infront of the bus conductor. top

hm.... may be unless we dont get support from the co-passengers and ofcourse dont travel in that route regularly we wouldnt be able to take initiative to stop such things... i guess everyone is waiting with the same reason for someone to start the issue :-)
bus conductors cant be blamed much, as they would become victims of those guys easily..... top

Pocket picking is an age old malady of city buses..conductors know very well who these guys are..but they generally leave it to the public to fend for themselves..some conductors, as soon as they see such ppl, give subtle hints to the commuters, like crying out to move in..shouting at ppl not to stand near the entrance and go to the centre...ppl have to understand such things and be careful..still, it wud be difficult if a gang surrounds u..jus make sure u dont carry much cash or any other valuables..cellphone picking is the latest of these gangs' picks.. top

A kind of similar episode with my cousin. He lost his mobile while on his way from Coimbatore to Trichy. My dad and he decided this should be reported to the police. And in the police station at Trichy, guess what kind of response they would have got.. "Coimbatore lernthu Trichy vara varaikkum ella police station layum complaint senchuttu apram inga vanga" (Launch a complaint at every police station from Coimbatore till Trichy and then come here).. This was for the simple reason that my cousin did not know where he lost the mobile enroute..
How would we take this behaviour to be? The callous attitude of the police??
The world is like 'You take care of yourself. Anyway nobody else would.' But we don't live in an isolated society, do we? top
