New Delhi — In an unprecedented crossover of judicial frustration and weak reception zones, the country’s Supreme Court has accidentally ignited a nationwide “phone-etiquette” crisis.
Supreme Court Enrolls in Telephonic Etiquette 101
It all started when a special call by the Supreme Court to the top official in Bengal went unanswered. The Court, not accustomed to being put on hold, was visibly irked by the officer’s voicemail: “Hello, this is my mindlessly cheerful voice reminding you I’m not picking up your call. Dance to the hold tune!” This resulted in the Court, in an outburst of frustration, criticizing the officer’s cell phone manners publicly, “Why don’t you answer the phone? Don’t consider yourself too important….”
This offbeat interaction has now sparked a nation-wide debate about answering the phone in busy meetings, during chai breaks, or even while using public bathrooms.
Condolences Pour in for the Abandoned “Missed Calls”
The incident has deeply stirred the nation’s empathetic emotion for “missed calls”, which were, up until now, an overlooked tragedy. Candlelight vigils were seen outside mobile network offices, mourning the loss of all the unattended conference calls and ignored ringtones. Conflicting reports suggest even the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is caught off-guard and is believed to be contemplating making “call ghosting” a punishable offence. Isn’t progress beautiful?
“Even my Parrot knows how to pick up calls,” says Petulant Pigeon Park Uncle
Harish Chacha, the neighborhood’s resident gossip and self-declared telecom expert, passionately shared his nuggets of wisdom. “Back in our day, when the dial-up internet would scream its lungs out, we would still answer the calls,” he reminisced. “Even my parrot, Mickey, knows how to peck that green button. These big-shot babus should take notes from him.”
