    Telegrams have a quaint connotation these days I suppose.

    In old Indian movies, a Telegram would only arrive to signify really bad news - someone died, or something like that. Why else would you pay for that expense? Well, it could also be a job interview or posting. So the connotation there, in that time, was probably not so good.

      This is at least an interesting use of tokens
