Not too long ago I knew how to text on my cell phone. Thanks to inexpensive charges for messages, we would send out tons of messages to friends everyday during college.
I was introduced to the concept of messaging quite late compared to my peers. That was because I had a BSNL connection, which somehow disabled the option of texting, when I was gifted with a cool phone first time. Persistent complaints to the customer service never yielded any solution. So, I never sent out a text message until I was in third year of engineering when I switched to another service provider.
Funny forwards made us smile. All of us friends stayed connected 24X7 through texting each other. I would share practically each moment with my best friends. Be it complaining about weird people, unhappy incidents, sharing thought provoking quotations or 'cloud-nine' moments, my friends were just a text away.
On some rare days when there were no messages in my Inbox, I'd check if my phone is turned on or not!
Now in a foreign land, where texting costs more than I am willing to spend, texting has become a thing of past for me. Moreover, nobody here seems to use the texting service.
The other day, when I was noting down a sequence thoughts on my phone after a long time, I realized that I was finding it difficult to type!

The only reason I stuck to BSNL for a long time was that it was a PSU. It was not worth doing so...

Borrowing trouble is so very me! When will I stop doing that! God!
