“Unlock the Journey: Discover the Hidden Layers of Ananya S. Guha’s ‘Mobile’ Poem”
What happens when you’re lying in a hospital bed, limbs loose, feeling both vulnerable and detached from reality? You grasp for the one thing that connects you to life—your mobile phone. In this starkly poignant poem, we explore a moment that balances on the edge of existence and the profound simplicity of modern connectivity. As the speaker desperately seeks assurance from their doctor, only to find that their lifeline—literally and metaphorically—lies just beyond their grasp, we’re reminded of how intertwined our identities have become with our digital lives. Can a device truly represent our very essence? Join me as we delve into a vivid reflection on mortality, technology, and the unexpected significance of what we carry—both in our hands and in our hearts.

Limbs loose
I was in hospital
I asked the doctor about my
blood pressure
the doctor told my wife
I had almost died
looked for my mobile
and was told that it was
in another ICU
and, then I knew that
my mobile was my
life.
