Reincarnated as My Phone

My phone's quirks make me believe it's a government office worker reborn

By Rohitha LankaPublished 10 months ago 4 min read

I have never believed in reincarnation or rebirth, but I have been a firm believer in reincarnation since last week. Not only that, I now believe that people die and their souls are reborn as mobile phones.

I firmly believe that my mobile phone is a case of someone who worked in a government education office or a regional secretariat office in a past life dying and being reborn as a mobile phone. When I give it a command, it responds like the people who work there when I go to that office to do something

"What a nuisance, Danuska, you are always bothering me, aren't you? I just finished searching for something on Google.. Indigo says a little and slowly starts doing the task I gave you.. During the time that task is being done, I have to hold the phone very carefully like a flower that has been picked up by a snake.. Even a finger touches the screen and the screen breaks. If any option is turned on, Venerable Rajangane will call out to the phone...

" It's good for you %*=#*$$$"

and stop all work and the screen will freeze.. Then, to use the phone, you have to press the screen lock button without even touching it and leave it for three minutes.. If you can't, or can't bear it or go to pick up the phone for just a minute, Venerable Ampitiye Sumana Rathana Thero will call out to the phone..

" Are you coming to work from me... Are you coming to work from me... Are you coming to work from me?"

and freeze again.. Without worrying, you will wait for a while and try to touch it again and do something, but sometimes Ashoka Handagama or Prasanna Withanage will appear on the phone.. We don't want the phone to be the same, we Something is happening on the screen at an incomprehensible level and I can't control it with my finger..

Even though I am given such a golubeli policy when I want to do something, when I touch an option that annoys me and gets me into unnecessary trouble, my phone is as agile as Ranveer Singh dancing..fast... The biggest problem is that when a call comes to my phone, Mrs. Seetha Arambepola is on it.. After picking up the phone and hearing the ring tone like a lament, I can't easily check the phone number that is calling... If I want to check, I don't even hold it in my hand, put it on the ground, look at it, remember a god I believe in, and cross my fingers

"Oh, Lord Buddha, if this Danuska Jayaweera, who is a coward, has done something wrong without knowing it, don't get angry at him, and "Please show me the number"

You should humbly beg.. Often, even if you show the number before the call ends, as soon as you press the answer button, the phone rings like a sister

"No, no, no, I won't let you answer even if I show you the number, huh huh..."

And the call ends..

When I pick up the phone to do something important, I act like a government office worker, but someone tries to tease me by putting a woman's scream in the middle of something like

"Ranjan's sharp answer to Geeta's question"

and sending it to everyone at home, the support is amazingly fast.. As soon as I touch it, my mobile phone, which does not turn around and immediately releases that series of tones, gets embarrassed in front of the residents because of those tones and when I touch to cut the video

" huh "Hey, I won't cut you off," he says.. Even if I press the volume down button, it turns up the volume...

My phone doesn't handle fuss.. If I make a mistake while writing a letter, no matter how urgent I am, the phone won't let me delete that letter immediately. As soon as I make a mistake, I immediately throw the phone on the floor and get angry. Sorry, this dog in our house typed a wrong letter without realizing it. Please have mercy and erase it.. I have to touch it slowly and carefully, just once, like you are slowly poking the screen to see if the jelly that is setting in the fridge is still hard.. If you don't do that, you will get angry and hit the delete button in a panic.

" I am going to say, 'You are going to be angry, you Many secret options that are not visible to the finger are displayed when the earpiece is touched. When answering a call and finishing, the screen is always touching the earpiece, so my phone is sensitive to the earpiece to do strange things like automatically touching and sending a message to the number of the person receiving the call or blocking that number. Although many phones are user-friendly, my phone is user-friendly to the wife. When I picked it up to do something,

" Oh, brother, I can't do it now, I just ate.. Oh, it's cold now, I can't go to the options, come on.. Oh, I have a toothache, I can't go to YouTube "

" Even though I was late for work, when my wife picked it up,

" Sister, sister, let me show you what I do. "

"He is eager to expose all my dirty deeds with lightning speed.. At that time, there is no other phone on this earth as fast as my phone.. May all the gods protect my phone...

    Very well written. If you want, you can visit my profile, take a look at my writings and tell me how it is

  • The humor and introspection you infused into the narrative made it both entertaining and insightful. It’s a clever commentary on how we rely on our phones and how they’ve come to shape our personal interactions, identity, and even self-worth. I particularly enjoyed the moments when the phone-turned-character reflects on its role and the strange, almost surreal nature of being an inanimate object with consciousness.
