Hello, Helllo,Halo, Hallo, Hellllllllooo

Nothing wrong in saying a hello, right? If I say there is a m then does it rings a bell. Read forward the whole alarm will start buzzing and you won't snooze that.

To make it clear, I am not opposing 'hello' based on cultural or religious grounds but on a background which everyone denies but is raison d'etre for everything - money.

Digest there facts:

1.543 million mobile customers in India.

2.37 million wireline customers in India

3.Around 200 mn per-paise customers in India.

On an average 5 calls are made by a user, then there are 1900 mn calls made by per-minutes plan users and 1000 mn by per-pase plan users. For you to say a hello, and te other caller to revert back it takes approx 2 seconds.

Now consider this for per paise plan users-

· 1000mn calls a day

· 2000mn seconds a day

· 2000mn paise a day

· 20mn INR a day

· 7300 mn INR a year

Now for per-minute customers , speaking hello in not that injurious as they could be used to fill the pulse. Chance of a call being carry forwarded for the next pulse is 1/30.

· 1900 mn calls a day

· 63 mn calls being forwarded a day

· 31.5 mn INR lost in day (50p for each call)

· 11500 mn rupees a year

So by saying a hello, we are losing 18300mn INR. Never thought a single word could be so costly. And the most beautiful part of this is we can go without hello. I wonder why Caller Identification was made!!

P.S.

· All the relevant statistics and facts have benn taken from internet. Writer is not responsible for the authenticity of sources.

· Writer don’t give a damn, if you still don’t stop speaking hello. Its not his money you are wasting

· Writer is also slowly giving up thehabit of speaking hello. Old habits die hard.
