So ... I never really bought the iPhone . Should be obvious, considering that it's priced at Rs. 31,000. My life is going on pretty great, right now. Had an awesome Birthday weekend at Baroda . I've got the recently launched Motorola ZN200 slider phone. It's pretty decent. Rs. 6000 and works for me. God's been drawing me closer to Him. I'm beginning to rediscover truths about Him, life and the way we're meant to be. It's simply awesome. Yaiy! That's about it for now, I guess. Will try blogging more later. :) Oh right, and I'm trying to re-kickstart two of my other blogs - Dan's Desirables and Living Momentum . Go ahead. Check them out. Peace out, bros.

Vodafone has just released a statement on their website http://www.vodafone.in/iphone which states that the 8 GB model would cost 31k and the 16 GB model would cost 36k. This is way too much for the iPhone.... popular speculation held that the iPhone would cost anywhere between 15k - 25k in India, when released on August 22nd. This itself is higher than the subsidized price in the US, where the 8 GB model sells for around 8k while the 16GB models sell for around 12k. My personal estimate was anywhere between 18k to 21k. But if this is the price of the iPhone, I won't be buying it. No no, sorry. It's way too costly for me right now. Hopefully, Airtel would come up with some sort of subsidized scheme... I'm crossing my fingers and praying. The giver of good things hasn't let me down. Whatever He does, He does it for my good. Always.

Yes, I will be owning one, if all goes well, by the 22nd of August. I thought I might not have enough cash to go out and purchase one, but then I ended up praying to God to send someone who would be willing to gift it to me... and guess whom He sent? Smitha D. Gnanaolivu. We all know that she's awesome and she's the sweetest, but this is like the icing and the cake. She's simply the best. She came forward on her own and said she'd been wanting to surprise me, but couldn't let me agonise over the thought that I might not be able to own one. So there.... I'll be getting it, hopefully. God be praised. He's the rock and our ruler, and He certainly rocks and rules!!!!
