The Caller/"Hello" Tune Obsession

So, for some reason, Indian people love caller tunes. They're the music that your hear when you call someone instead of the usual (triiiing, triiing). The tunes are usually a super annoying a la mode Bollywood song.

The problem with this comes when cellphone companies by default sets your phone's caller tune to be some crazy, random song you don't know. This has happened to several colleagues that have traveled to India for business and give clients their Indian cell #'s. My aunt (who's a doctor) has given her # to some patients; unbeknownst to her, the caller tune her patients/clients would hear was "my heart is beating and making funny noises...just for you!"

Never thought I'd miss the simple triiing triiing when calling someone.
