she - hi, may i talk to nishant?
me - yes speaking.
**she - hi nishant. i'm aarti. i'm calling from the world-exchange consumer center.
nishant, we have an excellent offer for you. you can call india now at 23c per min.
me - (mum)
she - (waits, then proceeds) nishant, so could you tell me wot is ur long distance provider?
me - thank u for ur offer. i'm not interested. (hangs up).
This is wot happened today.
Pretty dull n boring conversation as u may have observed. me too feel so.
Yaar, koi khanakti awaz wali mohtarma aapke karnon mein itni snehmayi vaartaalaap karen, aur aap yun hi? chup chaap. not interested? no spice. no advice? naaah.
So, one of these days, the conversation from the ** marked point went as follows:
**aarti - hi nishant. this is aarti malhotra. i'm calling from world exchange.....
me - i c.
aarti - yes nishant. so we have this incredible offer for our customers like you. How often do you call india?
me - well. i'm sorry i dont call often. i'm not interested in ur offer.
aarti - But, listen nishant. you can call india now at an extremely low price of 23c. day or night. the rate is same.
me - i don't call india at all. thanks a lot for ur offer.
aarti - (slightly flustered) o nishant, u dont call india at all? (momentary pause) alright. but u must be making calls inside US.
rite nishant?
me - (not again! badlaaaa maange hai ye khoon..badlaa!) i c. umm yes. umm.. kya naam aapne apna.. kya naam bataaya?
aarti - jee. aarti.
me - umm..aartii...
aarti - jee..aarti malhotra.
me - (extremely soft n polite) haan aarti jee. aadaab. main bahut shukriya-guzaar hoon aapke is offer ka. lekin main india nahi call karta.
aarti - (interrupting in a sweet voice) o ho. aap bilkul nahi karte? aap apne ghar pe to karte honge.
me - (pyar se) mohtarma, huzur, bataaya na. nahi karta. india se mujhe koi lagaav nahi.
aarti- to america mein to karte honge. friends, relatives out of town.
uske liye kaun sa long distance provider use karte hain?
me - nahi, main unhe bhi nahi karta. kewal local calls kartaa hoon. aap kahaan se bol rahi hain?
aarti - kewal local calls?
me - jee.
aarti - i c. i'm sorry. thank u sir for ur time. have a good day.
me - thank u aarti jee. aapse baat karke bahut accha laga. (both hang up)
