What my Dell Vostro laptop went through...

"I am called Vostro 3450, new product of Dell- yes that's what I am. If you talk about my features then they range from decent to impressive sometimes. The 14 inch HD anti-glare screen, configuration, everything... i can be called a very decent Laptop. Things were good, if I start my story then i must first tell you that a lady owns me. She likes me as I am sleek and trendy. Windows7 keeps her happier. She does some rigorous course lord knows what bullshit she does, she needs me 24X7, what happens to her without me would be enumerated soon. 

Things were good, she put a pink bow shaped sticker on me - just to tell everyone that she owns me and no one gets confused- other brothers and sisters of mine are also present in the same class with different owners. Things were good, I cooperated with her during every presentation, web surf, movie, songs, games, software installation, pictures, videos, camera and what not. 

One day i could see some disappointment on her face while she was clicking her pictures ... my camera had some issues. She was sad but soon she moved on... after all she is too busy to worry about a camera. I am also comfortable now that she is OK . A couple of weeks ago, she was carrying me in her hands... doesn't like the bag she got from college for me. Suddenly she started adjusting her hair and BANG! I slipped off her hand and fell with a huge thump! This lady...  was initially awfully nervous because she thought this is it.. this was my end... after all she spends more than 2/3rd of her life with me and so... likes me... or I feel sometimes she loves me. She picked me up and checked if all my keys were working or not. I looked impressively healthy even after the great fall and she was happy. Next day she discovered my actual condition when it was nearly impossible to shut me properly. You can see in the picture that my intestines and knee joint can be seen from outside. The screen locks are broken and due to that damage more damage is caused every day. Now the young lady is scared of touching me, What fault does she have- I look so vulnerable....

Its not that she did not try, she is concerned about my condition, she calls the Dell customer care almost every alternate day. She even bunked a class for me as the timings aren't suitable for doing such things leisurely. 3-4 or even 8, whatever it takes she talks to that many experts but no use. They say I don't have full warranty (which is bullshit! I know I have full cover, but can't tell them out loud) 

She still tries everyday, and I still am in the damaged condition. A female Laptop, with a pink sticker, and a loving look with scars allover like they had shown in the movie Gajini. 

Happy moments do not last everyday, just a couple of months back I was hail and hearty... now I am "Table ridden". We never know when life ends, when changes or when gets complicated... I never expected this would happen to me, neither did my owner... but it happened, all of a sudden in a fraction of second. Life is too short to think twice, too expensive to waste and too good to be true sometimes. But it does not last always... Try and enjoy every moment of your life like its the last... do all the things you want to do. Time is short and we do not have time to give opportunity to critical comments from general public to overcome what we really want. Do not clutter your minds, they are meant to work and not to stand still jam packed. Take care of yourself and your insurances... else you may also end up like me... not knowing if you ever improve...  Pay attention to it else you would repent not giving yourself the chance to enjoy your good life.... and regarding the loop-holes... After all perfection is boring, isn't it? :)
