What’s The Right Word Again?
So a couple of days ago I got this weird phone call in the
middle of a busy work evening….
Person (Sexy,female voice): Hello
Me : Oh, helloooo.
Person : This is Miss.So-and-so…and I am reporter with
So-And-So newspaper.
Me (wary immediately and wondering what they have on me and
who squealed): Yes?
Person : We are doing a feature for our supplement on
blogging in Chennai. I know you are a member of the oldest, largest, best, most
widely read and very popular blogging community of India who were the first ones
to introduce blogging to ignorant Indians and taught them how to write from A,
B, C, D etc and popularized their blogs and trained everyone to go potty etc…..and
do you want to add a few words on the greatness of this blogging group, care
to?
Me (irritated beyond measure): are you sure you dialed the
right person?
Person : this is ganesh right?
Me (in a- you asked for it baby mood): yeah this is DOCTOR
GANESH……
If you are Former Patient – Say “1”,
If you are current patient – Say “2”
And if you are a future patient – Say “Cheese”….
Now which one of my buttons would you like to press?
Person : Total silence….
Call Cut…
And that’s how I deal with pesky callers who impersonate
reporters but act as publicists for random blogging groups. And for the record –
no bloody blogging community taught me how to blog- I did it all on my own. And
I would never go around ass-kissing anyone to get mentioned in the morning
papers…I would rather get on with my life- my blogging is time pass and not an official
endorsement for anyone
Why don't I get such calls? Just wondering . . .

DeleteNow, why don't I get such calls. We are infamous bloggers who will remain unseen and happy, I reckon.
