For those who don't know, this is a famous dialogue from the movie Salaam Namaste. The context isn't important, and it's not like it made much sense in the movie anyway, hehe. What I'm going to write about is completely unrelated to the above, however, this is the best title I could think of for my post.
These days all of us use earphones a lot, though we know that they damage our ear drums and our hearing abilities will deteriorate over time. I've also read that the usage of ear phones increases the bacteria in our ears 700-fold! I even see young children aged 7-8 using earphones.
I was wondering... since this trend has begun only with our generation, no one has really seen what earphone usage will do to us when we get old. Or may be we won't have to wait to grow that old to find out. But we still use it anyway. (I do too. Not so much these days but I used to.)
I guess it won't be long before our hearing will become such that if anyone said anything to us, we would say, "Sorry?" And then...The little earphone devil would say "Ejjjaaaactly.. what I was hoping would happen to you!!"
:P

I think about this every time I put on earphones, which is why I've switched to headphones for when I'm using my laptop. They're too inconvenient for use on the go, but at least at home I can reduce the number of bacteria marinating in my ears!
I just derive so much pleasure from listening to music on-the-go!!! *sigh*... why do all good things in life have a down side! Shudn't listen using earphones, shudn't drink coke, shudn't have breakfast at Mcd's everyday :P :P Ah the simple pleasures of life!
