How many times can a man resist?
I did, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…
I flirted with Korea and Canada
A Finnish affair lasted slighted longer
But it never did work out
And for a while, my mobile nakedness
Was embarrassing for all to see
My Eve, long fallen
And my daughter, completely smitten
Chastised me and demanded
I hide behind a shiny new fig leaf
When Steve’s serpent enticed me again
Now I have bitten into the appetizing lure
Of a metallic silver object of desire
Which has taken a bite out of my wallet
And added a few more dollars to a 190 billion stash
With this forbidden fruit
In my constant company
I join the company of Adam, Newton and William Tell
I have succumbed to the charms
Of Cupertino’s Garden of Eden
So help me, God
random rants ruminations ramblings 
You are the 500 millionth victim of that serpent. Unlike adam, having this apple actually admits you to eden apparently. Good one Kunal, excellently written.

Sigh! What to do, Aseem, I stayed away all these years but as usual, the wife prevailed! Oh, and I totally agree with your comment that it’s my ticket to Eden 😉

Technology the undoing of man’s intellect to actually think and engage. Well done and although not an apple, I’ve also succumbed to the evil song of sung in my pocket lol. Nice write 🙂

Seems to be a recurring theme. I like the use of metaphor.
