An elegy to my lost iPod Touch
2010-05-10
Day : 2nd May, 2009
Time : about 15:00 hrs
Place : 401K Vijayanagara to Vidyaranyapura bus
Situation : A crowded bus and I’m going to a relative’s place.
Outcome : A good 30 minutes into the journey, I come to know that my iPod has been stolen!
The Present:
One song that has been impressing me (not a surprise, eh?) lately is Behne De from Raavan. The tamil version “Usurey Poguthey”, in spite of being released late; surely captures the audience too. So, yesterday, 9th May, a good one week since I lost my iPod; en route to Bangalore from Chennai, I was thinking about this song when a fellow near me fished out his iPod from his bag and started swishing the screen to browse across the collections he had. A strange feeling of nostalgia crept unto me! Even though I took my iPod-getting-stolen-incident pretty maturely and coped up with it, the occasional glimpse of one over the past week brought a wry smile to my lips. A conglomeration of Usurey Poguthey and thoughts about my iPod resulted in an elegy which i dedicate to my lost iPod. 😦 RIP!
Here are the lyrics…

The past week without the iPod wasn’t difficult as the iPod as a music player was replaced by my laptop/desktop. However the mobile browsing part cannot be compromised and I have learned to live with it! Appadi mobile-la mail/buzz paaththu naan onnum kazhattaporathilla.. 🙂
