2 by 2 ?

If your answer is 1 , that wasn't the question.

This would also be the answer to the question "What are the dimensions (length and breadth) of the Satyam IWay's Phone Booth used by Kapil to call the few friends he has abroad many times?"

I never realised the frequency of my visits to the booth till one day , the caretaker ( let us call him Raju.) whom I meet before and after every call and who was still an absolute stranger to me was upset because I didn't invite him for 'Masti' movie playing at Inox.

You have to get used to keeping your 'cool' for hours when you are in the air-tight , compact , AC booth on a sultry ,oppressive Saturday/Sunday noon.(The outside temperature matters when the AC is un-officially not-working , Raju says it is working because the red LED for AC is ON.)
I was very close to suggesting this 'dare' to FEAR FACTOR.

Add to that ,the very elegant decent gentleman keeps asking me "How much more time will you be speaking?"(the answer in my mind...hmmm...How long does a typical 'how have you been conversation take place @#%$@')

Try avoiding wearing a thin fabric , you will have a checkered design on your backside if you talk for anythg more than 10 * minutes sitting on the 'spacious' seat. I think I could tell how long a person was seated inside if I was "cheap".

All you want is just that 'Hello' from the other end ;then you really start liking the design patterns on your rear AND the heat AND you may also look foward to the prospect of Raju telling you about his new bike for the FOURTH time.
