My First Satellite Phone Call

Scene: My place...9 PM IST

Some good Chinese, Coke, Gtalk & Westlife(Seasons in the Sun).

*Chat Window*

High intensity chat session

Me: let me see if we can work things out

X(Girl from far far away land): I know things will work out. Please give "us" another chance.

Me: I don't want to get into anything now

X: Where are you now ?

Me: Home

X: I'm in the middle of nowhere. I want to talk to you right now.

Me: Do not call me now. (Meaning: Call me now)

X: Please I need to hear your voice

Me: My voice ?? Why ??

X: Please don't be funnny now. I'm serious

*Tring Tring...Tring Tring* (Yes my ringtone is also quite dramatic)

*Satellite phone - Unknown number* (My first ever sat call)

Intensity magnifies

It either one of the two below:

A) Long lost love

B) Indian Intelligence calling me to Hire me (Bond... James Bond)

Me: Hello (Acting all cool)

Voice: Hello

Me: It's not clear...Can you speak up please.

Voice: Hello (Man's voice)

"I'm pretty convinced that it's Indian Intelligence by now"

Voice: Listen... I have 3 mins only. So hear out my instructions.

Me: Sir...Yes sir

Voice: I need you to login to my email account and build an NFL team for me.

Me: Who are you ??

"Turns out I was expecting Mohini and Mohith Rao called. My first sat phone call down the drain".
