TALKING OF TELEPHONE CALLS
Not many may remember that Alexander Graham bell invented telephone which made our life noisier than ever before.
Besides serving as a communication device between two parties, it has contributed for the progress of our daily life and served as a good piece of companion in maintaining harmonious relationship between people especially married / un-married couple.
In my school days, I hardly could come across a telephone instrument not even as a dead one, as it was an expensive affair to maintain it.
Very few top executives / government officers could afford this luxury then. In one case, a marriage was decided when the bride’s party confirmed that they too had telephone at home. This is not a joke but happened in the family of my father’s immediate superior, way back in the 60’s.
Now days, people have something called mobile phone – some thing that even Alexander Graham bell could not have imagined of the development that his invention could reach this proportion.
Conventional instrument did not cause much damage to the culture of our society, but the mobiles are doing beyond imagination. It can trigger a bomb, send the fastest communication or monitor some activity of utmost secrecy. No need to even mention what the camera attached to it can do.
Caused, many confusions, contributed for divorces, created enmity among best friends/ couple, made many robberies possible, and is continuing to promote anti-social activities like, pornography etc;
While this is the case, look at the softer side of the revolution which is also causing loss of revenue for the concerned outfits.
I wish to quote my own experience in this matter.
I remember having a telephone of my own, from1981 (Overseas employment). All my official calls- with sufficient proof -were reimbursed, and I had to pay for all my personal calls. There used to be surprise audits of all similar connections (where the user had to carry official communications at times).
I always maintained record of every activity including telephone calls in my life. Recently, I went thru’ the same and I was shocked how much of my earnings have for TALKING TO PEOPLE alone.
This habit of frequent talking has hardly served any purpose except deriving temporary / momentary pleasure from such communication. The time lost was another regrettable act as well.
Some communications were of great use in resolving few issues. Some of them were:
1. Death of my parents – I couldn’t attend their funeral and had to direct the same to my brother.
2. My longest single conversation was from Oman to my sister in Delhi who was in dire straits then. It was of 30 minutes duration with a bill of Rs.3000.00
3. Few calls when I was un-employed (A total of 48 months putting together such situations during my career since 1981.) were of productive nature in resolving my situation.
I never made personal calls during my working hours except with the permission of my boss, who always understood my loyalty to the company and my honesty towards my work.
There is one unsolved mystery when it comes to telephone calls involving me. I will explain this:
Whenever I called any one, they took me for granted and never concluded the talk till I made it using some excuses.
But, when I’m called in by any one especially friends and relatives, that’s the time;
a.) Their door bell rings
b.) Some one knock their door
c.) Something is on the stove and boiling
d.) Remember to go for shopping
e.) Some one is about to arrive.
It is amazing to realize why I’m not in a position to cut the line after making a basic contact?
A rough calculation based on my records, show, that I have spent over Rs.5 Lakhs on communication alone, (besides Inter-net facility) from 1981 till last year.
There is another rough side of it as well. I’m frequently reminded of unproductive nature of most of my calls (which I make after tracking down some of my friends / relatives – who without exception has never communicate on their own to me –) just to find out if they are well off. So, even a well wished call also makes my life more miserable than it already is.
Recently, I was talking (not over the phone!!) to a stranger, on this matter who laughed at me and said, it is time that you realized who are around you and for what purpose, and limit your conversation accordingly or never make one which is useless. You will save time for better activities and save money too especially when you are not earning on your own.
VERY WELL, SAID by the stranger.
NOTE: I think I have to wake up and maintain communication where it benefits both me and the one I’m calling except my children who are already wise in this matter.

Travel
A Trip to Bangalore
Some days ago, Sheeba and Ananth wanted to look for an apartment, Flat or an independent accommodation.
As the rent is a non-recoverable amount and is given to somebody else for a shelter, it was considered to go for a flat with ownership and with a time frame to complete payment which initially is bourn by a Bank.
In this process, few flats in buildings closer to the present work place was looked at and one was decided in the area named HSR lay out.
At this point I wish to add, both Ananth and Sheeba, struggled enough, in arranging a lawyer to verify the authenticity of the whole arrangement – land, building and the status of the structure etc; besides a source for loaning the cost of the flat.
In this process, they succeeded in getting everything done and awaited, near completion level to move from the present rented flat at teacher’s colony area.
Formal, house warming Pooja (grahapravesam) was conducted on Friday 10th July 2009.
It was decided to move into the new house by 28-7-09, as the present house owner requested for handing over the flat by then for him to prepare it for the next tenant.
So, we wanted to help,Ananth and Sheeba - particularly in the absence of her in-laws who are taking rest after operation recently.
We left Coimbatore on 24-7-09 by Intercity Express, leaving CBE at 13.15 hrs.While waiting for the train, met Rajan s/o.Sh.S.Vaidyanathan of Pollachi. Rajan was going to Hosur with his wife to see his daughter employed in Bangalore.
We spoke in detail in person after many years of absence. We boarded the train upon its arrival on time.
The train reached Bangalore Cantonment by 20.05 hrs. Since we got down just across the Exit, it was further speeded our effort in getting a pre-booked auto to reach Sheeba’s residence.
We reached the house just in time to watch the T.V serial starting at 21.00hrs and paid to auto driver, Rs.90.00 – a reasonable amount for this trip.
During this railway journey, we procured few mini apples and suppota for Ayush.
Gave them, to Ayush who only took the apples.
The next day, - Saturday- 25-7-09, was a busy day for all, as we were to vacate the flat by evening. So, we all were up by 6AM. We started grouping items for packers to do their work faster and cleaner. The packers and movers team came by 11AM.
They came with ten cartons of medium size. The process took till 3.30 PM in the afternoon. As Ananth was away chasing left over jobs for the new flat, self and Sheeba went with the packers in their truck. This was necessary as these people did not know the location of the new flat. I was also unable to lead them being new to the place.
We reached the place on time. Unloaded and heaped all items spread in the hall and Ayush’s bed room.
Electrician worked relocating one fan to accommodate Chandelier – in the hall just above the designated area of dining Table. Kitchen lights too were fixed.
The new cot and dining table were also delivered in the same evening. We managed to keep it against the wall in the Master bed room. The mattress was used for self and Saro for the night’s sleep.
We discovered, the gas range’s knob was missing and we had to manage with one burner.
We had dinner brought in by Ananth. We created space among the house hold items for resting till next day morning. A new knob was procured by Ananth and was fixed easily.
Ayush was the worst hit person and was crying for a long time till the tiredness took him to sleep on its own. He woke up again and kept changing his place between us and Sheeba. Then, finally Ayush slept with Sheeba.
The next day was Sunday – 26-7-09. More work awaited us since dawn. Sheeba, I with Ayush went out to procure milk from the neighboring petty shop. We also could see the area which was not clearly visible the previous day.
Ayush enjoyed the walk and scenery.He came across dogs and two cats in the area. He started yelling Miyav, Miyav. Every time I said C for cat he will say Miyav.
We started pushing the carpenters and plumber to complete all jobs. Electrician fitted most fittings. (The GANESA light fixer was found cracked and was replaced by the supplier.) The base of this light was placed at the top of the entrance so that it was necessary for me to just place the diffuser GANESA when received.
This day, we managed space for sleep in the hall and Ayush’s room, as we have unpacked items of kitchen and cupboards in the second bed room. At the end of the day, we felt relieved as most items were in place.
Dinner was from outside.Had additional 3 idlies were found in the take away package which made Ananth very happy as he was very tired due to driving few times more than normal.
Yet another day was born- Monday 27-7-09. Earlier, the hole for the gas hose, was made properly and hence was installed correctly, for us to make coffee in the morning.
The day saw seepage of water was found coming as Ananth took shower in the second bathroom. The leakage was visible right above the hall electrical / T.V points. This was due to a broken joint of the shower connection.
The contractor deputed a plumber and replaced the faulty joint and cleared the debris including the tile. The place was left to dry to replace the tile. T.V point was reinstated.Breakfast was made for all and food for Ananth who, went to office on time via his old flat- to handover keys and collects balance of deposit.
Sheeba helped in setting up kitchen and other areas. The day was fully engaged in correcting and completing all jobs, so that we could sleep properly. We wanted to make sure everything is in place, as Sheeba was also to work from next day. Besides, we too had to leave for Coimbatore in the early hours.
Fortunately, things went properly and most jobs except those needed time was completed.
Out of the two bathroom facilities, one was O.K for hot water and W.C while the kitchen and hall area washbasins were working.
The overall situation was acceptable as it is common to have teething troubles of similar nature was the facts in any new building / flat.
The new cot was placed in the master bedroom; old cot was placed in Ayush’s room. Dining table was placed in the hall. I was the first one to make use of it, as; I had my dinner using it.
We slept, in Ayush’s room, while Sheeba,Ananth and Ayush used the new double bed.
We got up early in the morning, - of 28-7-09, 3.45AM, and completed all formalities. Saro prepared, coffee, for the journey. Also took one cup each before leaving for train.
Call Taxi came at 4.45 and we left by 5AM, to the station. We reached the station by 5.30AM and paid Rs.290.00 for the trip.
We managed to reach Podanur, as the days’ stop was not Coimbatore. Took an auto rickshaw to Vadavalli and reached home at 14.30 hrs. and paid Rs.180 for the trip.
After opening all doors, windows, and cupboards, and doors.
Lunch was made by 3.15PM and we had it as we needed the best food to meet the starving stomach.
In the meantime, informed Sheeba about our safe arrival back in Coimbatore.
So, ended our small and useful trip to Bangalore- for installing Ananth, Sheeba and Ayush in their new and own house.

Behavior
Thinking about Manners / Habits
(AND IT’S INFLUENCE IN OUR PRESENT SOCIETY)
A book was published in December 1984 titled SUCCESS by Michel Korda in the US. Essential part of that book narrated reasoning for Manners in particular.
Michel, basically mentioned about the history for certain habits like shaking hands, tasting wine, escorting a guest from right side etc;
Shaking hands was to prove the person has no weapon in his hand, tasting wine was to prove it is not poisoned, and escorting guest from right side is to prove accessing hand for a weapon.
Silver cups were used to nullify the effect of any poison in the drink. Removing the cap / hat with right hand and welcoming guest is just to make sure the right hand is engaged in a civilized action rather than taking out a weapon from pocket.
Most of our habits related to this virtue, is due to the good effort taken by the parents, followed by teachers, well wishers and the good natured people in the society – in which an individual is brought up from infancy.
Elders always say, learn from mistakes of others besides of their own.
Most children are considered as Angels gifted by God (of one’s own religion) when born especially after a long wait and lots of medical treatment to conceive one.
It all works out fine, till, the infant becomes a boy or girl say by the age of 5. This is the time to watch the person and guide accordingly to keep him in the track of positive progress. Such a care shapes, the child to become competent in the school, society and among relatives – with acceptable manners and habits.
The environment in which the child grows makes him / her to acquire ILL / WELL manners and get stuck with it for life. A change at a later date from bad ones to good ones is harder compared to a change from good to bad.
So, it is the childhood that dictates hard core goodness or decency in a person as stated above.
When talking of manners, it is not only of ON THE TABLE, but ALSO of various other situations.
For instance, talking to a person, writing to a person, or dealing in a matter official or un-official and so on all needs to be done with certain courtesy / manners.
Ever since computers were made accessible for writing, the language changed from standard to slur or slang especially by younger generation. They also use the so called short-cuts for saving cost on say SMS by damaging the originality of the language.
One can write a book or even an encyclopedia to narrate the ill mannered expressions that crop up in daily communication these days.
This situation has created indecency even among highly educated / placed individuals in the society who also have become victims of this kind of ill manners in communication. If such an act is performed on a legal situation, it can amount to contempt of court!
Reading through the daily news media both visual and printed, it has come to light, the pattern of manners and related behavior among the present generation has greatly become un-tolerable/ un-acceptable and of grave concern to all peace loving people in the society.
Say for example, the following practice is seldom followed:
Get up early in the morning and take blessing of parents / elders. Start and finish all routines in an order to pass from one to next etc;
There are more arguments between parents and children rather than a conversation on any thing. It is noisier than a normal exchange of words. May be term it as shouting at each other?
The whole issue is complicated than it appears. The once vacant or empty brain in the child-hood has filled in by itself of much good and not so good stuff in to it from sources that attracted the individual.
The other aspect is curiosity based on hearsay, observation and intimidation by others.
Therefore, a kind of inferiority complex tries to set in, which is very obvious to parents and can easily be eradicated. But, many parents ignore this act and the priority changes from corrective to corruptive one.
Similar uncontrolled actions / observations form into a child a more or less stubborn attitude of damaging nature once and for all. Later date counseling cannot remove this tainted nature from a grown up child.
One more reason, for one’s differed behavior is simply due to the adamancy of parents who load the child to the level of collapse – just because they think they love their baby and expect the person to become what they want rather than what the child wants overnight!
I know of so many persons who could not pursue any thing useful for themselves due to pressure from parents. Later they changed / adapted to their own choice and became better- in education and career- though after loosing considerable amount of time and money.
Therefore, this kind of exposure meted out to an individual can make / break him or her simply because, of the manner in which the individual is treated from infancy.
When I think of manners/ habits, I fail to understand, why the age old virtues are not to be seen or experienced any more.
I conclude in my own way on this question based on my observations and material available in the society.
Joint families are disappearing fast – where the head of family maintained an order in all good practices.
Even in individual families, parents have only a limited advisory status towards their wards.
Cinema / T.Vs have played considerable role in damaging the good nature of our youngsters.
There is more venomous stuff in the day-to-day activities which is increasing un-controlled.
Anti-social elements have taken a sizable percentage of the younger generation, for their own ill conceived plans.
We have ragging, teasing, eve-teasing, assaulting elders / parents, petty robberies, chain snatching, and many such ill mannered activities in our society.
There are more serious acts like drunken drive and razing people resting even on the pavements, murdering kith and kin just for a share of wealth for which no contribution was ever done, running away with some ones daughter / son and ending life at times etc;
If only good habits were planted in the children from their infancy, our society will become a place with an open Pandora’s Box.
With all the ill mannered activities on the rise, we will see many more un-wed mothers in our society in the age group of 8-12 years. We laughed at this phenomenon when found happening in the west few years ago, and now, time to laugh at our own selves.
One doesn’t have to fear the unknown (GOD) to correct and indulge in good practices, but to be truthful and honest unto themselves and fear their own conscious.
I believe that ones self itself is the best consultant in these areas. After all, one cannot cheat one’s self. DO AS YOU WOULD BE DONE BY
