tab your ego without going broke!

i

like many people on this earth

have

limited money

and an unending long list of

'gadgets to buy'!

--

what did i used to do earlier?

well,

i always started spending

on the gadgets i wanted -

starting from the one

available at the nearest store!

--

result?

i always remained

broke

despite decent earnings

till

i changed

the strategy!

--

now

i have stopped buying gadgets

which do things DIFFERENTLY.

i buy

only the ones

which do

DIFFERENT things!

--

the results were amazing!!!

i realised that

very smartly

and shrewdly

newer gadgets

and newer version of old gadgets

were being power-marketed

down our pockets

thru our head

with just newer ways of doing old tricks

(like the touchscreen in phones and pads,

like push button start of cars, etc.)

the new features introduced

were either not of very high utility

or were easily available free of cost

from the net.

--

result?

my expenses crashed

my savings leaped

and my experience and exposure and exploration

of the world

still the same

(rather, better because of financial security)

--

i am ready to change

my camera, netbook, car, mobile, tv etc.

but

not till the newer versions on the shelf

do same things differently

--

today

my net book

has bigger screen than the ipad or galaxy tab

can play all the applications they play

has free real keyboard instead of virtual tiny one

has many times more memory

and so many more features!

the only thing

it doesn't have

....touch screen

to tab my ego!

and that is ok for me

i have discovered other ways

to tab it

better and bigger!!!
