Ever Wondered what is the replacement for Hello!

Filed under Special Feature

If I am going to ask you one question, “Which word is the most used word through out the world?”. What would you reply. I guess it is undoubtedly “Hello”, the common protocol of beginning the talk in the phone. Isn’t it?

Well it is my assumption that every 8 out of 10 people (even more) are using the telephone either in the form of land line or cell phone or in wireless form. And it is also true that they are going to receive at least one call in a day.

So whenever they are going to receive any call from any one it is almost 99% sure that they will going to pronounce ‘Hello’ and this way it will be the highest speaking word through out the world.

Now as you know that if you are doing any thing regularly then you must be feeling bore about it one day. So if I ask you which word can replace “Hello“, then what you will respond?

Most of the young guy’s has already started saying “Hi” in place of “Hello“, and even some of them are using “Hey” too. So this way young generation is choosing some words for the replacement of Hello.

Do suggest us which word you are going to choose in place of “Hello“, please post your comments and we will include them in the discussion.

Mobile use while driving can cut your connection!

Filed under Lifestyle

Accidents are increasing day by day on roads. Two wheeler drivers are not using helmets and car drivers are not using seat belts. But the main cause of accidents is found to be using mobiles during driving. Only paying penalty didn’t control people to not use mobiles while driving. To put a hold on this habit, concerned Gujarat traffic police has suggested an advice to high court which says that if any one found using mobiles during driving any vehicle than his mobile connection should be cut off.

If the suggestion is granted by the court than Gujarat people must be aware of using mobiles during driving. This can make the people take care of misuse of mobiles during driving and police expects that the number of accidents would definitely be decreased.

Concerned Ahemdabaad police has put forward this suggestion to decrease the number of accidents. A few people are with this decision but many others are objecting this rule. They said there will not be any benefit of this rule if granted and blockage of mobiles will mean no sense.
