Pause whatever you’re doing, and ask the person nearest you what they’re thinking about (call someone if you have to). Write a post based on it.
My husband is out of station and so my elder son. Son no.2 is preparing for his debate competition to be held tomorrow in his school. So right now the nearest person is my neighbor, actually an elderly couple who constantly miss their sons as they both don’t stay here with their parents.
The other option is a nice thing to do – To call someone if you have to.
I have whole lot of friends, relatives and of course my son is always happy to receive my call.
Have you ever experienced that sometimes you can actually cure a person’s depression by talking to him/her on phone?
I recently felt so. was fortunate to assist, to let someone feel light. Did I feel drained out? No, I felt worth that God has chosen me to help someone cure. May God bless the restless soul and I do hope that so called treatment to tackle depression must not eventually bring more pain and agony to the individual as causes to a disease are always multiple.Â
If throwing the venom was the only option, I kiss the poison, it’s fine
Bring on more ! I’m a soul seeking for happiness in the psalms of life !
Why not use phones for spreading love rather than hatred ? Point to ponder…..
Dedicated to politicians, page 3 lot and scheming minds:
Avoid hitting below the belt by taping the phone calls.
Kindly don’t put the call on speaker without informing the person at other end. The person comes to know while talking. You may lose your credibility.
Never blackmail a person since you have somehow succeeded in hearing the conversation on other phone with cross connection. It is a breach of trust.
The act may termed as illegal and  against the ethics of phone etiquettes. It reflects insecurity and fear.

We get literally 20 or more calls a day from organizations trying to sell us something, or scam us. Doctor’s offices and pharmacies call using recorded reminders of upcoming appointments (or filled prescriptions). The rarest thing in the world is a personal phone call from a friend or family member. When it does happen, I’m almost shocked. I don’t know what to do … I’ve forgotten how to have a conversation. Everyone texts, no one talks.
I agree with you. A personal phone call can make or break your day. I am sick of receiving phone calls for updating my present wifi package. Fed up with selling of life insurance, mutual funds and mobile phone schemes.
It seems that the speech contact is becoming out of date. My oldest son talked me into uploading what’s app on my phone. He told me writing messages is free. Great, but I don’t like writing messages because my fingers are too big for the typing pad on the phone. anyhow he solves the contact problem by calling past now and again to see how the old folks are keeping. Otherwise I have daily contact with Hong Kong, America, India etc. I think they are called call centers and they always want to sell me something.
I generally talk to my parents and in-laws on phone as we hardly stay with them. I think one should talk good things rather than cribbing.
I rarely get to talk to people through phone… I still remember those days. 🙂
Hi Amy, nice to hear from you. I missed you last week and I felt bad that I couldn’t do 3 quotes post because of headache. Can I still join in?
Sure, Rashmi! Looking foward to your 3s. 🙂 btw, no due date for this one .
That’s great !
I haven’t beeb able to leave comment for you post. The wifi in the hotel on the mountain is extremely slow …
No issues. You are always there in my heart Amy, sending you smiles
I really liked this post and it meant a lot to me, since my Mom still gets excited if someone calls. 🙂
Oh, I missed this one. So glad to know about your mom’s happiness when someone calls her Robin. Thanks for the feedback.
