Next Generation Tele-Marketing

I had an interesting phone conversation today.

It all started with a missed call on my mobile a couple of hours back. it rang a couple of times and stopped as soon as I got near it (Murphy at work). I had a few things to do immediately so I gave a call back a few minutes back whence I am promptly greeted by — Insurance company.

The telemarketers seem to have found a new way of cost cutting. The female voice on the other end now asked me if I could spare a few moments. I politely replied that I was indisposed at the moment and they should call me back later (Like hell they should)

I m not quite sure if this has any relation to the wrong number/prank calls I got over the last couple of months. The usual pattern of these went.

1. I pick up the phone
2. A pleasant female voice says hello from the other end
3 I say Hello
4. The voice turns unpleasant and starts scolding me in Kannada(at least I think it was that) as if I am the husband who got drunk and didn’t come home last night

Another Era gone by

Being full of C%$# is the usual state of affairs these days. I just saw that if you search for
somalian “run over by a tsunami”
on google you will end up on my home page. which is cool as well as scary at the same time.
I finally turned 23 this month (which makes it sound as if I was just waiting to turn 23) and each oncoming Birthday is no longer the wait for a cake (there was cake though, and a good one too).

Some of the guys got together and threw me a surprise birthday bash. More on that here

In the mean time I’m just chilling out and taking life easy for a few days to come up with a brilliant and devious plan to subvert the world

I guess I don’t have much more to say except I’ll again try to write in soon
