“hello, ms. calamur – would you be interested in a Norwegian Cruise. Our company xyz is offerning you a specail 3 day four night tour in association with Standard Chartered. ” ” would you be interested in a Ford Ikon. this is a once in a life time offer which Standard Charteredis offering its special customers”. “Hello, mein Atal Behari Vajpayee bol raha hoon”” The last six months has been a pain. in the middle of a client meeting, a date, the night, or lunch – a chirpy voice will call in association with one of my service providers – to offer me everything from managing a balanced portfolio to a home in Mulund to a resort in Mauratius to a vehicle on easy installments. It is really truly irritating beyond meausre. One of these days I or some other harrassed soul is going to put our life on hold and sue our service providers(s) for breach of privacy.

The SMS that brought this blog on was from the BJP – if you believe in Vande Mataram and not VandemataRome – vote for the Shiv Sena BJP alliance.
