The title says it all. Still, it you are not able to figure out
what this blog post is about. Be patient and read incidence below:
All Delhi Metro travellers must be aware of the flood with which
people get in and out and travel in metro. These people don’t have much time to
bear for others, however, being Delhiette they can’t leave peeping into each
other's life too. One of such passenger is me.
One morning I was travelling in Metro from Tagore Garden to Patel
Chowk in metro. The metro was over-loaded with people. After missing couple of
metros I was finally able to enter into one. As I was somewhere near Karol
Bagh, the phone of the person standing in front of me ringed. He picked up the
phone and put it on video call mode. I was like what show-off he is. You don't
have space to talk and this guy is crazy enough to make video call. Next moment
I saw him making signs with his hands in front of the phone. I tried to look
into his phone and I saw that the person on other end of the call was also
making signs with his hands. I realized they were not just making signs; they are deaf and dumb and are rather talking with each other in sign language. I felt bad for making
such baseless judgement about them. Felt sorry.
However, post doesn't ends here. I tried recalling and was not
able to recall if such an idea was ever used by any mobile operator to market
3G services. Being it Airtel or Vodafone with their puppy running behind these
people or zoozoo in their need or Abhishek Bachann saying 'what an idea sirji'.
Maybe there is some law which abide these operators from marketing this way. Or
their population is so less that revenue short mobile operators don't want to
spend any extra money on them. However, I feel it’s such a nice way to make connect
with people and also letting all Dumb & Deaf people know that technology is
advancing for them also. Distance is no more barriers for them. They can enjoy
video calling service more than couple sharing love moments or businessmen
attending business meets.
I am waiting for the day to see such an advertisement.
