It is easy to be an owner of a cell phone


How much classes of people have you heard? Karl Marx, the philosopher classified the class of people, we all know. Bourgeois, Petty Bourgeois, laborer class. In India there are more classes – Upper class, upper middle class, middle class, lower middle class, laborer, agricultural laborer, skilled laborer, unskilled laborer, marginal laborer, land less laborer class and so on. But have you heard the name of mobile class? Yes, a class has so far been generated in India through the years - the “mobile class” who use mobile (Cell) phone.
These classes of people forces to listen others their funny ring tones of cell phones in a cinema hall, meeting hall, buses, in a queue and even in hospital. These people are talking loudly on their phone in public place without bothering etiquette (is there such a thing?). They set volume level of their cell in a high blare. This is simple because, these class of people wish to show in public that how they are greatly in demand especially in business community. Their conversation, obviously you are obliged to overhear, always involve nothing and simple, but they believe that they are from very corporate groups. But they don’t know that the corporate man doesn’t need a portable phone, they have efficient secretaries and managers who whisper something in their ear even if his father is dying. After all, these people try to snap others attention to show their symbol of power and to perpetuate their class difference because it is easy to be an owner of a cell phone.
It is easy to be an owner of a cell phone and any one can experience that some people who do not need a cell phone but poses it and have no least idea of using it. The ring tones, now days a good business, they are often choosing in a loud and thinks just because they like it so every one like it. Though the portable phone has made our communications easier, at the same time it made the public aggravated. The manufacturer of hand set provides a guidebook for several ‘DO’ and ‘DON’T’ but who care it.
