Mobile observations

Its jst a coincidence that ths post too is about mobile phones. But the similarity of ths post and the one below it ends just at the subject - as u wl see.

Cell phones have been around us now for rufly close to a decade. Bt while there usage has multiplied exponentially, as a nation we collectively lack mobile etiquette and good sense.

The list of mobile offenses is pretty long for a device this small - there r public offenses such as loud, obnoxious ring tones, taking calls in theatres, clicking pictures without permission, etc. Then there are private offenses like breaking off into frantic smsing in the middle of a conversation, talking away to glory while at a dinner date (or no date)

But theres one offense that crowns them all - and that is taking calls while driving.

I see ppl doing ths all the time. At signals, heavy traffic, changing lanes. Most people dont even bother to stop driving, others stop in the middle of the road.

What baffles me the most is why people find it so difficult to avoid the call and return it later. What cud be possibly more important to risk lives?

As is the case with all other appendages of mordern living, Indians use cell phones without giving a two penny to its usage etiquette. Its like how we have the most jazzy cars but no clue of traffic manners.
