Manners and mobile phone
Further to my letter a few months back about manners and mobile phones, there was another incident to which I was witness that shows how ill mannered people can be when it comes to their precious mobile phones. In a seminar, a professor from abroad was giving a talk to Bangladeshis about the problems of Bangladesh. At the end a gentleman from the audience asked him a question through a microphone when the musical tone of his mobile phone started ringing. He continued asking the question with the music in the background now amplified by the microphone, so we had music with the narrative! When he finished the question and the professor started addressing him with his answer, the phone rang again. Without any hesitation the man answered the call while the professor went on speaking.
This is the kind of behaviour that sets us apart from others!
