I am from a rural background and always struggled to compete with the guys who are born and brought up in urban areas. To be frank I always lacked those smartness, enthusiasm, mingling nature that these guys possess. Even though I am from rural background, I studied in English medium schools and got a chance to know the people and the world around. I had a cousin brother who was innocent and has poor communication skills along with the shy nature. The most dangerous thing is to have this shyness in this modern world and to his bad luck his nature was little shy. He never mingled with others and was more of a house bound guy. The biggest advantage he had was the subject knowledge. With that skill he got placed in a good company and he had to relocate to a remote place. Till that point of time he never used a mobile and he had to use one finally. It was a basic mobile and he continued with it for sometime. But all of us know how powerful the friends and society are around. They prompted him to buy another new mobile. Finally, he ordered one online and he was way too excited even before the mobile came to his hand. Finally, the day came where he got hands-on the mobile and it was the most excited day in his life. He had all the plans in the world how to utilize that android phone. He started implementing all his plans and installed various applications. Among those applications, one was weather application. This guy played around this application for some days. In this weather application he pointed many locations. As he was staying away from the family for job purpose, he always wanted to know the conditions in his village and places around. So, in weather application, he started pointing his village, his college, his near by town, his friend's house, his mamas building and up to 50 locations and started reading the weather conditions. Not just reading once or twice in a day, he kept on refreshing the application to read the weather every other minute. He kept on doing this the whole month and by the end the day he read it many many times. He didn't realize the fact that he didn't have more than 128MB of data available and by the end of the day he consumed 5GB of data. The cellular operator got a bumper offer to charge this guy on data at their will (of course, it was the guys usage and not cellular operator fault) and finally, this poor guy ended up with a bill of $200 which was double the salary he was earning. All his enthusiasm of a new android phone waded off and taught him a fitting lesson.
