MARCH 7, 1964
A 12 year boy ran to the postoffice/telephone exchange to covey message to his elder brother who was at a distance of 30 miles as his father was at dead bed.  The hospital authorities asked the boy to take back his father from the Hospital to home as he was at dying condition. The boy had only one rupee coin. He didnt know what to do and rushed to the telephone exchance to call his brother.  All the 10 telephones at the exchange were occupied by the people.  They were going on talking.  The boy waited at the booth, more than two hours and pleaded his case but failed. Again he rushed to the hospital to see his father but his father died at 12.15 pm..His brother got news at 7.00 pm..........

Moral:  communication should be quick, brief and fast without hindering to others
