Last week, when I went to a mobile phone store in New Delhi for getting my phone repaired, I was shocked to see a huge line extending outside and beyond the store.
I asked the guard for why there was such a huge crowd. He told me all these people are in queue for buying a new mobile phone. The mobile phone OnePlus 6T was recently launched and the crowd is there to grab it! The phone is priced at a whopping 42,000 rupees but since it was a festival season, no one bothered about spending their money.
Although I had heard about the rush to buy a new phone or Harry Potter books; this was my first chance to actually experience it.
I was there to repair my old OnePlus 5T model and was asked to stand in the same queue for it. I couldn't gather up the courage to stand in that long queue.
But before leaving, I tried to click some pictures of the queue from my old generation Nokia phone. However I couldn't get the whole crowd in one frame and gave up the idea. But here I'd like to post whatever picture my old phone could capture 😊
Today, when there are so many shops in a metro city to buy a phone and aside that there are online portals offering discounted prices and offers, still there are lot of people who prefer to wait patiently in a queue to buy a new phone.
Would you too like to stand in a loooong queue for shopping?
Thank you for being here for me, so I can be here for you.
Enjoy your day and stay creative!
Botty loves you. <3

A very happy Diwali to you too. Yes, Diwali was on 7th Novemeber and you're not late for your wishes 😊.
Yup, air-pollution levels in Delhi has reached to an alarming level. For last 2 years, Government is planning an artificial rain after Diwali. However Delhi's dry weather isn't always suitable for cloud seeding. So firemen keep sprinkiling water on roads and from high rises. Last year about 75,000 litres of water was sprinkled from Delhi's tallest building and Government is planning to use helicopters for this! But nothing has helped in reducing pollution levels.
I wonder why can't they spend all these money in educating and sensitizing public! It's a crazy world here!

True ...and add to it the craziness of waiting in a queue for hours to spend your money! 😊.
I'm trying to save for the next month's launch of FINNEY - tauted as the world's first blockchain mobile phone. And I haven't bought any Ledger or Trezor because of it. But I won't be in a hurry to grab it and wait for expert reviews after its launch. ...but thanks to people who are early adopters who give their feedback to people like me 😊
