I received a call this morning. As I grunted lying on my bed, my mobile was promptly brought and dumped next to me. As it lay ringing and whining, I resigned and unwillingly stared at an unknown number. I picked the call and politely grunted. The voice at the other end said, 'Arre...Sonu hai kya?'
I shouted back, 'Subah subah wrong number lagate ho. Sharam nahi aati hai kya!'
The man was audibly dumbstruck. Expecting no intelligent response, I cut the call and went back to sleep.
In the ensuing hours of the day, there were two seperate observations made at home.
First - Does 8.30am count as subah-subah?
Second - Despite being a Dilliwaala, how come the guy didn't scream back at me? Is there no appropriate comeback for the line ? [in bold above]
There was a weak suggestion - "Wrong number lagaane ka koi time nahi hota hai.", but its not acidic enough!
What is your opinion :) ?
