a story of a yellow box: PCO (Personal Call Office)
".. If there’s one man who built the foundation of the revolution in telephony usage in India in the last two decades of the 20th century, it is Sam Pitroda.
Ironically, this father of the Indian telecom revolution first used a telephone only after moving to the US to study electrical engineering. "Since the fascination of that first call, my dream was to set up small, rural exchanges and connect my country," he thought.
C-Sam Inc, a telecom solutions company promoted by Sam Pitroda, has set up its first India development centre with 40 professionals. The company has offices and development centres in the UK and the US.
"If you want to get it done, go do it!" With one hand in fast-paced business, and the other driving world-changing social development, Sam Pitroda has carved out his life's work with this as its underlying theme. Never satisfied with a standard version of success, he left his career in the United States and returned to India to head the country's first Telecom Commission, and consistently achieved the previously unachievable, including wiring up the entire country
His vision, and his technology, helped connect the people of India—in its far-flung regions and remotest corners, to each other and to the world. When the developed world saw a resource-strained country heading toward a billion people separated by large distances, it saw a tele-density gap nearly impossible to bridge. Looking at the same mammoth problem, Sam Pitroda saw access, not tele-density, as the solution.
He visualized a countrywide network of thousands of phone booths to provide this access. He battled conventional wisdom and lobbies that questioned why impoverished people needed telecom.
Pitroda has been a crusader for long. As a young man, he battled stiff opposition from the ‘roti, kapda aur makaan’ lobby, which was against the concept of a ‘connected’ India. But this young man stood his ground, making the case that telecommunication—along with substantial food, clean water and adequate shelter—was a fundamental component in the process of modernization. The smattering of bright yellow STD PCO boxes in India today, is a manifestation of his efforts.
Pitroda’s tenacity helped create the concept and technology behind the network of ‘STD/PCO’ phone booths across the country, in every village. The 600,000 booths, providing employment for a million people, today dot the remotest regions of India. This model is unique in the world, unparalleled to this day..."

If it isn't treated, over time it can lead to serious health problems, such as diabetes, heart disease, and even cancers! Most women with PCOS grow many small cysts on their ovaries. That is why it is called polycystic ovary syndrome. The cysts themselves are not harmful but lead to hormone imbalances.
