We are back from a culinary weekend ! ( meaning we had food, we went out to eat, we come back home for more good food! ). The only the other thing we did to spend our calories was to talk, talk and talk and laugh out as much.
Text messaging is something I have never used. I never had or used a cell phone when I lived in India and as far as I remember, text messaging was never mainstream in US for ‘cultural’ reason. Anything that strains more than a few cells of their body, Americans will whole heartedly reject it ‘culturally’. Text messaging is one of those victims. I bought into the American idea of our mouth being lot mightier than our fingers ! so I never bothered to try it.
All that changed after I got married to Harini, who is our family SMS queen. So I have been cajoled into using SMS in past few months and between us I sometimes find the patience to send text messages. But when I read the news about the fastest SMS champion in the world, I wonder if it is really true that ‘Nothing is Impossible’. Thats a daunting task to type a complex sentence as the following one in seconds:
The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human. – Try to type this message in your cell phone and if you could do it in 47 seconds on less, Boy! You are the new world champion buddy. [Craig Crosbie of UK fingered it 48 seconds. Karan Sachdev, who fingered it in 66 seconds is India’ SMS King ]
I am proud to hold the second best timing in our two-member family ‘world’ series championship!
