One commonly observed phenomena of UK and India:
Young people are most often on the phone both in UK and in India. The only difference is that in India they are chatting away and in UK they are texting away!
Another feature related to this but reflecting a more profound reality:
Here in UK people purposely use the phone to block out others. Meaning to say, interaction with others is not something they look forward to or encourage. While in India, being on the phone is another way of getting closer to someone. Rather than an escape from people, it is a tool that connects people - though, mostly a distance away. But Indians surely are not shy of interacting with one another, even if the other is a total stranger.
