Instant's Brood

‘ Instant ‘ has occupied a very important position in everybody’s lives and in different aspects of lifestyles. Instant has many relatives who appeared in various time lines. Take for instance ‘ Mobile ’ who is a close cousin of ‘ Instant ’ who has silently spread her presence into every single shirt pocket, handbag, brief-case. Teaming up with ‘ Instant ’ Mobile sure has shaken the world of telecommunication and made it possible to be reachable at any time and no room for waiting. If ‘ Mobile ’ is not reachable there is always her sister ‘ SMS ’ or ‘ Voice-Mail’ to rely on. After dealing with ‘ Mobile ’ if hunger or thirst sets in there are two very important cousins of ‘ Instant ’ to depend on – i.e. ‘ Ready-to-Eat or Ready-to-Drink (RTD nickname). Reaching either of these two are easy, pull the shutter down, swipe ‘ Instant Cash card ’and reach for either ‘ RTE ’ or ‘ RTD ’. They don’t take too much of your time as they could be dealt with along with ‘ Mobile ’ as and when you are interrupted. While dealing with all these folk, you hardly realize until you either crash against a wall or lamp post…(hopefully not another human being). Now that’s when ‘ Mobile ’ comes to your help ( not forgetting the extensive damage already caused ) to reach one of the recent entries - ‘ On-the-spot’Auto Insurance services. ‘ On-the-Spot’ will arrive within minutes (provided there is no mishap to him as well). Thanks to the arrival of ‘ Instant ’ and her brood, what was termed daily happenings have been christened with new names and changed lifestyles across the globe. Postal Mail has become ‘ Snail Mail ’ telephone calls to get simple product information have been ‘ automated ’ airline travel, medical channeling appointment, movie tickets, shopping, could all be done through Instant’s grand uncle ‘ online ’. Only when either of Instant’s folk decide to take a rest occasionally, we find life next to being impossible, forgetting that all of these were still possible before ‘ Instant ’ and her family came along and stole the human peace of mind !
