Ghost call!

Sometimes when im alone in my room,its strange that i hear the ringing of my cell phone..Im delighted when i hear it,but when i run to pick it up,i get disappointed seeing that there is no call.

This is a psychological disorder in which the sufferer hears the mobile phone ringing ,inspite of no calls or messages.This is mainly attributed to the lonely environment the sufferer is pushing him/her into.

That’s one more thread in tech’s tightening grip on us. In a growing phenomenon called ringxiety or fauxcellarm, sufferers hear the SMS beep or ring tone, even feel the vibrations when these are non-existent. Medical dictionaries might christen it “phantom mobile call”. Ah, sweet revenge! Mobile users began their public assault by stepping onto balconies and verandahs to connect loudly and wirelessly. Then, cell phone in hand stepped into the streets. They walked down crowded streets merrily chatting with disembodied voices. In a pavlovian response(attributed to Ivon pavlov),people reach for the mobile even before it rings. In front of that hypnotising 6”x 3”, you, who can speak, hear and gnash teeth, are a powerless shadow. Your listener keeps casting glances at the little monster’s face for SMS. You were then startled by the sight of shoppers talking to themselves in shop aisles. Mind-boggling choices must have done him in, you thought, till you noticed the wires and the widgety buttons in the ears. The wire-free avatars dug a new low in public behaviour. Ringxiety is probably poetic justice. Retribution for mobile users’ contempt for the convenience of those around. Lesson: you can’t escape the wireless web you’ve spun around yourself.

In my opinion,checking a phantom ring isn’t a disorder.it is just a ring anticipation.How about the “pre-feel” (it’s going to ring) and “post-feel” (vibrations when it’s not there)? ” non-stop mobile users are  pushed to this sort of a habit”..it is but the very truth:)
