Yes, I have had my share of the neighbor teenager getting "urgent" calls on our phone.A "loaded" question from my ma-in-law to her, put a stop to that....:-)<br /><br /><b>manju</b>Someone needs to research caller tunes as a function of personality. I know lots of folks who get impatient listening to Dehachi Tijori on my phone.... <br /><br /><b>Kavi</b> It is all about having "time". In the old days, folks had time to listen. And sometimes act and help. Today its all about symbolic tunes, attitudes, and a rush to get somewhere, so much so, that proper English is a difficult thing to type.<br /><br /><b>HHG</b> True. The cell phone stuff has spawned several innovative ways of cheating amongst young folks. We didnt really need that...<br /><br /><b>Radha</b> Yes, for some of us, having a wonderful caller tune (like some you mention) is a bonus, but the main thing is we are not given to permanent stuff attached to our ears....the young folks do that all the time....<br /><br /><b>Lilly, Aleta</b> Thank you. <br /><br /><b>Kirti </b>Thank you. And I would love to visit your site....will do so very soon. Just wondering why you call yourself a recluse housewife ?<br /><br /><b>G</b> Thats why they have speaker phones today. Shouting is out of fashion. :-)<br /><br />And about your meeting spot, come by next time you visit your sasar. Evenings around 6:30. you will see me with my walking friends, taking a chat break here, trying to solve the world's problems. <br /><br />P. S.

(Mainly because the tiny dent on his forehead is because he tried the grab the phone out of my hand and someone landed on his head....)<br /><br /><br />I recently posted on Facebook that I have a cell phone, but it's more like a paperweight in my purse. I keep it only for emergency uses. My family and friends know, too, if they call me while I'm driving, I'm not going to answer. I get too nervous. It amazes me how many people hold the phone and drive! Crazy!<br /><br />But yes, those tones are something else. Our customers do not turn off their cell phones when they fill out paperwork. Every now and then we hear some pretty stange stuff from the phone.Aletahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05605214202876973830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-33731650662620606422010-03-01T18:42:32.579+05:302010-03-01T18:42:32.579+05:30As always, nice read :)

As you said, the phone was used only for necessary talk. When I set up home it was only after years, when we could afford the Rs 1000/- deposit that we finally applied for the phone. We got it a year later. <br />I thought I was the only one without a caller tune. I do use the cell phone mainly for my morning alarm and have Vishnu Sarasanam as the tune. So MS Subbalakshmi's 'Om' generally lulls me out of deep slumber.radhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837846875386312338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-81060255382318474252010-02-28T16:00:39.464+05:302010-02-28T16:00:39.464+05:30BTW congrats on being among the top 5 entries for ...BTW congrats on being among the top 5 entries for the IWD contest.Hip Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891699611146003601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-79130099484975535832010-02-28T15:59:50.443+05:302010-02-28T15:59:50.443+05:30i too want the old days back when the t'phone ...i too want the old days back when the t'phone was respedted and used only as a neessity.gen X is going to skin me alive for saying this but we have boy friends calling up their GFs in the middle of an examination (we know since mobile phones are either switched off or surrendered as per rules) and the BF suddenly becomes a brother and her mother is seriously ill and in hospital.The girl couldn't switch off the phone naturally. Many of their parents don't even know that their daughters have mobile phones.i am fed up with such stories and would like to know how these BFs manage to pre pay for their own mobile and that of their GFs.Do you know?Hip Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891699611146003601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-32553593101392041152010-02-28T15:16:10.045+05:302010-02-28T15:16:10.045+05:30Mobile phones have ushered in a completely new cul...Mobile phones have ushered in a completely new cultural revolution of sorts. Havent they ? <br /><br />Starting with sirens, wails and stupid tunes which state " Excuse me Boss, you have a text message' ! <br /><br />Ofcourse, the olden days didnt have the concept of text messages. Nor did they have any idea of murder of the English language with so called 'SMS' lingo ! Pls Xcus da angr !<br /><br />on another note, the fibre of folks who anywhich was want to help, even if it was a wrong number like the lady you mention...well, that fibre is wearing thin. <br /><br />This post brought many memories !!Kavihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11426040093753611098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-46413917648702543842010-02-28T13:53:28.766+05:302010-02-28T13:53:28.766+05:30"Dehachi Tijori.."

There was this one neighbour who used to get calls after 12 am or at odd hours like that from her relatives all the time during the week... and when they at last got a telephone, it was strictly private and locked at all times!!<br /><br />Oh! these ringtones, my bro has one for his messages, which sounds like a coin falling off the table on to the floor, and whenever it rings, one unknowingly looks down for the falled coin:) and the hello tunes, I've asked my cabmates to keep something for me, so that I will be pulling my hair off during the entire of the day looking for another good tune to occupy my thoughts!<br /><br />Between, need ur email id mine's pinashpinash@gmail, and I just loved ur verses, putting it up with the pic.

Even we didnt have phone at home, till I got to college, in spite of the fact, my dad was working for the telephones. Now, he has 3 phones, but dont know what to do - thats an entirely different story. :)<br /><br />Ringtones - certainly some are quite irritating !!! I hate the reverse music in cars being too noisy and out of context.<br /><br />I too want those quiet days where we are not bugged on all sides by different kinds of communication.<br /><br />Gud one !!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
