b) You move away from the place to attend the call.
c) You don't switch off the mobile, nor silence it. You also don't realize that others are looking you.
d) You let the phone ring, which by the way has the latest hit song in the highest volume as the
ring tone. You belatedly pick the phone and speak to the person at the other end in a tone which could be heard by him even without the benefit of the phone.
