desi women and cell phones

You'd think they were born with that device attached to their ear. Now that we are gracing the local metro bus with our august presence. Case in point:
1. Lady in the first seat shouting in desi language at the hapless cell phone, all the way from the start to the end of the 45 minute bus ride. Actually she was considerate enough, she'd ended the call 5 minutes before the stop. Also she had this really loud frustrated tone, I did understand the language incidentally, which was why I realized it was casual talk. I mean any louder and she probably could have done without the cell phone.
2. Desi lady trying to balance a cell phone with her neck and shoulder, pulling a pullman with one hand, a lap top bag slung over the other shoulder and trying to get the pre-paid ticket to scan with the other hand. WTF. Can't you ask your friend/fiance/husband to hold on for a bit. I mean come on you are not only killing yourself out there but also holding up the line with your gymnastics.
3. The other two desi dames playing you hang up with their boyfriend/fiance/new husband whatever.
4. Then there are these other desi women who are constantly updating their husbands with geopositional information. I mean why don't you just stick a RFID in the wife dude.
It might sound like I am exaggerating, but really I am just seeing a cross section of the desi women in this city and almost all of them always seem to be stuck to their cell phones on the bus. I know it is a 45 minute bus ride, but, whatever happened to old fashioned book reading or catching up on sleep or even bobbing your head to your favorite tune on your ipod.
