Just bad news...

It was an overcast day and while I was about to leave for the office, it rained for a while. Once the rain stopped, I decided to go office for couple of hours and then to pack up my bag for a Delhi trip.

While I was driving, I noticed a very happy kid as a pillion rider in front of me. It was indeed a tempting scene for my iPhone camera but the mother was driving at some speed I could not slow down my bike. I dared to pull out my iPhone from the pocket and managed to turn on the camera. Fortunately, the camera was in a good working condition and was not in MTV mode. IMG_0447
It was very difficult to frame a pose due to moving traffic as well as keeping the balance while driving. But I managed to get the picture and it did turn out good. Have a look at the full size picture and let me know what you think...

I came back from office and waited for the car to come and take me to the train station. It started raining heavily and the car arrived 30 mins late. There was still 45 mins left for Rajdhani Express to depart and we started driving to the station. When I was just two Km away from the station, we got stuck in traffic. Some religious procession was going on amid the rain and it had blocked whole traffic. We could not even back up and take another route for the train station. I kept my hope that the train would wait for me but my hope was as wrong as my other hopes... it left without me... Too bad too bad... And further bad was that I did not get any refund of the ticket as it was non refundable...

Anyway, since I already said about one bad news, let me also mention another...

What you see above is a "Sketch" screen of my iPhone... Do you see a partially empty band on upper half of the screen? That is a very new problem I got with this phone... iPhone has a multi-touch screen but this screen does not work properly in that band area... Do you notice that there are no horizontal lines in that area? Even if I do draw horizontal lines in that band area, they do not appear. Vertical lines do appear but many of them are broken in the middle... So, in short, the touch screen in that area does not work properly.

Now, I fear that soon my iPhone would die and I have to find another phone to use. My Palm Treo is with Honey and Akshar is using 6230i leaving me with no spare phones. I asked Sissie but she said she too does not have any spare one... So how?
