Psychiatrists reveal that an increasing number of Indians are suffering from what they term, 'ringxiety', a condition wherein users imagine their phones ringing...
It reminds you of the wedding scene from "Bend it like Beckham" where a cell phone suddenly rings in the midst of a group of gossipy women -- and almost all of them check to see if their phone is ringing -- but in vain...

Psychiatrists reportedly reveal that an increasing number of Indians are suffering from what they term, 'ringxiety', a condition wherein users imagine their phone to be ringing or vibrating when actually no such thing is happening.

Isn't this "news" from May 2006 or even earlier? Are we running out of fun things to report?

It's a literal truth.. i sensed these symptoms a long time back.. but after that i stopped using mobile continously.. now i took the mobile in hand only after hearing the tone.. It will be lesson for mobile addict's.. As the technology grows, humans are losing their naturality
