Sadly, this isn’t a lone example of people going to extreme measures for their phones. More often than we would like, ‘cell phone casualties’ are reported.

If an individual is close to the doors of an overcrowded compartment, why not wait till they alight at the station before returning the call? Taking calls or even talking on mobile phones while standing perilously close to the doors of overcrowded compartments is a strict no-no. Allow the call to register on your phone and call back once you have reached your destination or at least when you are better placed inside the train.

Pedestrians engrossed on their phones have led to many tragedies on streets. Even motorists tend to risk lives of numerous people by speaking on their phones while driving. More common sense while handling mobile phones is the need of the hour. It helps to remember than a call can be returned, not lives or limbs when they are lost.
