On having a blackberry. Or maybe not.

So I have been wanting a Blackberry for the longest time. Various petitions have been made to R and a few friends, much effort put in with “I am the only one left without a Blackberry”, “You guys are always on BBM and all of you have stopped replying to my messages”, “You guys are logged into your emails. I don’t have that.” All of this didn’t work.

Then I tried my usual “Guys, I work with an NGO, I don’t get paid, I can’t spend money on a BB”. Which did not work either. The explicit plea of “Please buy me a Blackberry” / “Please give me your old Blackberry” was trashed as well. Hmph.

And all these days I was really really convinced about having a Blackberry. I thought I am missing out on oh-just-so-much because I don’t have a Blackberry.

Until I saw this advertisement. And thereafter it took me about a minute and thirty six seconds (which is the length of the advertisement) to make up my mind about not having a Blackberry. Take a look. What do you guys feel about it?

 

PS- And you know why this advertisement moved me so much? Because I just feel SO invisible at times. Really. That one email cannot wait for five minutes? Just let me finish telling you how much I love you. No?
