This is happening as I type. Our workplace, which is a set of cubicles on our floor with each cubicle having a telephone extension, is under seige. Literally!
Each and every telephone in my vicinity has started ringing in synchronicity at the same time, since most of them have consecutive numbers, and this time, it is not the usual suspects in the form of credit card / personal loan salespersons who are causing megadeath (sic) level pains.
Everytime one chooses to pick up a phone, an automated message is being played with some subscription offer for something that I haven’t had the patience to listen to. What I can say with absolute certainty is that this telephone ringing menace is getting on my nerves much more than I thought it would.
If I find out who was responsible for having come up with the first automatic telephone call and consequently appearing automatic telephone message, I would, if said person is not already dead, wring his neck with my bare hands and make him pay for all my phone bills until such time that I croak.
As I have been typing this post, all the phones seem to have fallen silent. However, it is not without a sense of foreboding that I am awaiting the next wave of the attack of the killer telephones.
I wish the phones, if rung simultaneously, could simulate different sounds of music so that it would atleast seem like some instruments were being played. Of course, to keep everyone at the office happy, it would have to be muzak, the likes of which even the most rabid music hater would be able to withstand.
Once again, death to those telephone terrorists.

TT… nice! yup, same thing happening at my office too. I thought it would be more fun if each telephone ring would be a musical note, so a sequence of rings could actually be the jingle for some brand (like the airtel one for instance). Okay,honestly, i dont know jack abt musical notes, just shooting my mouth off!
Btw, got here from PGK. Nice blog and the article on citizen matters – had no idea, but real bummer that its gone.

P.S> weren’t you kutty’s roomie at some pt? i think i’ve seen you at his place, not sure tho.
Yeah dude, I would be the one.
However, I don’t remember having met you there – Kutty got pretty much half of RECT into our apartment, and I only have memories of greeting all of them and then going away and sleeping or something.
