Ghazal Rai, the bubbly and garrulous Pooja of SAB's Left Right Left, is not just a mobile freak on screen. This mania has rubbed on her even in real life, though she admits, "I am not that crazy to use mobile jargon in every sentence".
This full of beans Punjabi kudi, who made her TV debut last year with Happy Go Lucky (Star One), currently has two handsets - the high end Nokia N70 and 6230i limited edition series. "I keep changing my handset mobile every six months, for there are many new babies coming out in the market every other day, and being a gizmo freak, I must have the latest".
Keep in touch
I've stored over 500 contacts in my instrument, not just the industry people, but also my old school and college pals. Hence if I ever lose my phone, I will be out of contact with the whole word literally. Thank God, I've never misplaced my cell; otherwise I would be like a fish out of water.
Picture perfect
My new cell's resolution (3.4 mega pixel) is so precise that I don't need to carry my digi cam. I love to capture funny moments with friends and various places that I visit. It really hurts to see people misusing this wonderful technology for voyeuristic purpose. Even if the government bans the use of camera phone, a lot ultimately depends on the individual; for every invention has two sides, use or abuse!
Music masti
Being a serious music buff, I have transferred most of my collection from my Ipod to my cell as it get difficult and risky to carry both around when I'm shooting. The huge external memory cards (up 5 GB) are God send for people like me who also often use the video recorder as well.
Futuristic indulgence
I am eagerly waiting for 3G (GSM) services to be rolled out in India, which will allow faster data transfers, quicker downloads and above all open avenues for a mobile TV. I will be able to check out the latest show on air while on move. Being a gaming freak, this new technology will also allow me to challenge friends to a virtual dual even on the phone.
Word of caution
Before selling your phones, please delete all your contacts, smses, MMS's and video \ audio files, lest u fall into the poor Kareena-Shahid trap!
