Facing problems due to some habits created on our own
Almost all persons around us now possess mobile phones. In one house itself there are more than two to three mobiles in place of one landline phone. Nowadays many people are surrendering the landline phones considering the same as a waste. Let it be. But it is a pity to see that many mobile users do not pick up their mobiles suddenly. Instead, they see the name or number and respond only if they are interested.One day I had a doubt whether I have taken my mobile or had kept it in the house itself. I called my younger brother from the phone of a friend of mine who was on the bus with me to enquire about the same. But he did not respond. In the evening, on his return from his office, I asked him why he did not pick up the phone. He casually told that 'I do not attend any calls from unknown numbers, it is my habit'. I kept quiet on hearing this. But yesterday, when waiting for a bus at the bus stop, I received a call from some number. As I normally attend any calls, I attended the call. That was from the Election office to verify our application for Voter ID to the shifted house address. I answered his questions and he told me that the verification was found okay and that I will get the ID card soon. In the evening I asked my brother whether he received any such call for his voter ID. He checked for the missed calls and found the same number nearly ten minutes later to mine. As he did not respond the matter went inactive. Immediately I called that number from my mobile and referred the call of that morning and explained that application of my brother's Voter ID which was given along with mine was to be verified and explained the situation by giving my brother's mobile number. By God's grace, that person was good enough to understand the situation and agreed to verify.
I think maintaining such habits can create problems at times. What do you say?
