Long live telephone conversations. So addictive, there are so many of us who just cannot get off the phone.
A junior colleague of mine talks endlessly over the company land line phone or his own mobile. And when I say endlessly, it is no exaggeration. This guy speaks on the phone for atleast 6 hours while in office! He is on bench and that usually means you are without work for most of your working hours. It is clear that mostly he talks to his boyfriend/girlfriend, cause he talks in a hushed tone, keeps giggling, kissing, or getting sentimental in between. I have tried to remind him at times of the harm to his career growth these conversations are having, but he doesnt appeared too bothered with all that. I'm sure the telephone conversation is a newly acquired craze, as is the person he's talking to, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to clear entrance to get into IITKanpur.
And then there is this acquaintance who goes to sleep every night talking over the phone, so much so that he just tucks his phone under his head on the pillow, and slowly dozes off as he speaks over the phone!! I pity the poor people on the other end who suddenly are subjected to snores instead of the conversation that they were supposed to be having...lol
And I am no better. I've been spending almost a couple of hours everyday during office hours on phone :) Even though I think about postponing conversations to night (or during the car ride back home), it doesnt end up happening... Addictions, addictions, we just keep adding them to our lists, don't we?
