Living with Imperfections

This is not just a phone, it's quite special for me.
Why so? Whats so special about this broken phone?
For a start after buying so many phones on parents money this was the first phone which was funded solely from my salary,so it is the first and till now the only one.

Coming to speciality of this phone which  even myself is  realizing just now at middle of Night by relating it with my life in a nutshell,which has forced me to jot it all down at 1 am, this phone in multiple ways is reflection of myself.

For a start as you can see this is a lenovo android which I bought at 10k,a typical middle class phone which gives you everything in small budget but nothing extra ordinary to boast of, so am I, perfectly middle class average looking mediocre student with  cricket skills which could took me to just inter-colony level.
So thats me and my modest  middle class android phone.
As for most part of my life I have struggled to keep balance in various aspect of life and same has been story of this phone, it's not for multitasking,if I ask it to open two or more apps at once it struggles just like I faltered when I tried to juggle up tasks at once.

THE BROKEN GLASS:

As it's visible the glass of the phone is broken just like I have been, because both of us have fallen multiple times yet both of us continue to work,some scars are too deep just like the one at the center of  screen which is never going to heal unless the glass or  heart in my case is replaced.

Coming to the software part , this phone have some pre installed essential apps so does I have my parent's and siblings, some apps are installed by myself which were required for smooth functioning just like my friends and colleagues and then there is set of those unwanted app which I can not delete even if I want too just like "wo 4 log " and "that sharma ji ka ladka"

See I told earlier that this is not just a phone it's my life in a nutshell but you know whats most relatable of all?
Its that both me and this phone after so many imperfections keeps going on one day at a time because nothing is perfect, neither this phone nor my life and for matter of fact I am not even seeking that perfection, I am in process to figure out to live with my imperfections just as  I am about to complete one year association with this imperfect yet stubborn phone.
