सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Calling late at night (after 10 PM) is generally considered intrusive unless it's an emergency or a very close friend. The 'Missed Call' was a way to communicate without spending money. One ring meant 'I'm here' or 'Call me back'. It is polite to ask 'Is this a good time to talk?' (Kya yeh baat karne ka sahi waqt hai?) before starting a long conversation. In offices, people often use 'Call' instead of 'Phone', but 'karna' remains the verb.
