Marital bliss

Around 10 million Indians feel the need to get connected and so buy a new mobile phone every month. But if Railway Minister Lalu Prasad is to be believed, this could cause serious harm to their married life. He told a radio channel recently that the secret to his happy married life was his wife Rabri Devi’s inability to use a mobile phone. Otherwise, he said, she’d be calling him every two minutes the way many wives do — and since she didn’t do this, he didn’t need to cut the call short either, the way so many husbands tend to do.
