QT ‘Cutie’ Marvel

As surely as night is followed by day and old is replaced by the new, our ageing music system is being edged out by a smart little wonder – a sleek, SPICE QT-56 cellphone (left pic) that sits snugly in Kishor-bhai’s pocket, but roars like a lion.
It is a multi-functional gizmo with countless features packed into a neat black handset. Its most impressive feature (as far as we are concerned) is the crystal clear sound quality as it fills the early morning air with a repertoire ranging from vintage classics of Manna Dey and Shamsad Begum to modern hip hop of the Munni Badnaam Hui variety.
This is however, not to suggest that its predecessor – the LG system that was entertaining us for over a year – has been rendered redundant. It is going strong, more so after Arora-sah’b restored it to the pink of health a couple of months back. But for some strange reason, luck is not on its side. It has had to confine itself within the Chinese Hut as the power supply extension to where we exercise these days in the Garden is erratic.
Kishor-bhai’s ‘cutie’ mobile came in as an interim measure (till the power supply could be restored), but the way members have warmed up to it in a few days, looks like it is here to say. Besides, it is light, handy and convenient to carry around. You don’t need a duffel bag for it, nor an extension cord, a chair to lug around for it to sit on, etc. And the power it packs behind the sound is simply out of this world!
Talk of New Age technology, and here it is.

Yes, amazing what technology can achieve these days! It is amusing to see members dancing to music of their choice, either swaying lightly from side to side or humming softly while exercising. However, the music system that Mr Arora brings is the best because that really keeps you alert and you cannot miss it due to its size. However, I suppose we have to get by till the system is back with us. Mrs. Bose... where are you?

Is it possible to mention the birthdate of each of us (members of Big Laaf) along with the names? I would request to please do it. Also, I thank our dear Harish bhai for his comments.
