Your gadgets define you

Of course yes. You tell me what gadget are you using and I will tell you who you are .
If you are frantically texting in a some what old mobile, and reading some dog eared note book a little bit in between messages, not much of it, but a little bit, ignoring the frequents shouts from kitchen "what are you doing. leave that sms and read",  you are definitely a teenager kid who has grudgingly accepted the rule that no mobile till you go to college, but anyways use mom's mobile, anyways she does not need it to cook.
If you are having latest iphone or htc touch phone, but use it not so frequently, definitely not for messaging, you are some kind of manager - male one, who wants to show the juniors who is the boss.
You have a touch phone with all latest apps, but have a wall paper of cute (at least you think so) toddler and keep talking to this toddler once in an hour, you are a female executive who wants to appear bossy to juniors but who is bossed by the said toddler at home.
You have a mobile whose letters are all worn out, which has some camera, which definitely has fm and definitely has an mp3 player. So are you a teenager who has decides everyday to completely utilize all 100 free sms ? Wrong. In fact you are the mother of such a teenager who used free 100 messages every day using your phone and now since he is going to college, bought himself latest mobile with your money ( one word - nag power) and returned your mobile back to you. You are still thankful that now the mobile actually belongs to you.
You have a basic mobile with bare minimum features, and use it strictly for its actual purpose - making and receiving calls. You are male and some kind of manager - but not in the IT field - you are slightly old fashioned but you know how hard it is to earn a single rupee.  And you have decided to save since children wont.
You can sweep the floor, mop still talking on the mobile, you are a domestic help.
You have exactly 10 names in contacts and all of them belong to one group - family, then you are a house wife.
You use the mobile as an alarm clock, you use it as a radio, use it as mp3 player - listening mostly to sad songs. You take around 5 minutes to type a message - to the son/daughter - which says "where are you, why are you late". You are like me - a stay at home mom.

Bharatha - 2. UrdhvaRoma

I wanted to write about Karna as my part 2 of Bharatha because he is the real tragic hero of MahaBharatha. But net is filled with writings about him. So let me write about little known son of Arjuna called Urdhvaroma. And I don't want to write as twisted tale but as I have heard it from my Yankatte (atte - aunt). Yankatte was my mother's aunt and she was widowed in childhood. She would spend some time in my granny's house and some time in her husband's house. She would tell us all beautiful stories. UrdhvaRoma was a son of Arjuna (I think. Or may be Bhima's son. I don't remember clearly. ) He was living in the forest. One day when he was practicing archery, Arjuna and Krishna were passing by. Krishna indicated Arjuna to hide and watch. This boy shot an arrow to a large tree. And all the leaves of the tree fell down except for 5 and a half leaves. Krishna and Arjuna came forward and asked him what was all this about. The boy told " After few years there wi
