We must use politeness and civility in our social behavior. The first prerequisite of civility is, when we need a service we must learn to say 'Please' and when the service is provided, we should gratefully recognize it by uttering `thank you'. 'Please as well as 'thank you' are the civilities wherein we keep the life’s machine oiled and graceful.
