Missed Calls!!! The ever growing menace specifically with Indian mobile users. Its again kind of funny when India has the lowest calling rates in the world. Neverthless I had a humorous situation to render.
I had a college pal Kapil Kurien Palathingal who is currently working in Dubai. Due to some shit reason on his part, we had to split as being friends. He tried to woo me back with missed call syndrome. He used to call everyone from his mobile at around noon-ish UAE time. Well any layman knows that the timezones vary from place to place. So it is 2.30am here that is in North America. First I just ignored it. Later as I started having bout of sleeplessness this became a menace. It went on and on. And yours truly having bitter experiences with him over the past, dint want to antagonize him: just let it be!!
It went worse. Even after moving to the new residence, despite repeated requests it all fell into deaf ears. So one day I called him up and explained to him things in a jocular manner. I told him, your problem is a disease and it has to tackled scientifically. I told him to make a list of people he needs to give missed calls to. Then when it is morning in U.A.E, he should give missed calls to the people in North America. Then later in the noontime, the regions around the subcontinent and South East Asia could be covered and the evenings for Australia and New Zealand. This gives him a wide coverage of area and ample options indeed. Though the suggestion might appear off the cuff, he understood the tone behind the whole arguement. Like Russell Peters says "Somebody is gonna get hurt really bad tonight."
Never heard of him ever since. lol!
