Wrong Number

Caption: So TRUE

Wrong numbers: An eternal part of Mobile communication.

There exists no living human being who dint dial or received a wrong number.

Mobile these days is an essential tool, one can’t imagine to live without, even for a single day & with Reliance "Jio" coming into picture, every other person has smart-phone & a full excess of Mobile data.

I often think, should I save the second contact number for any user or not as they say " हा फक्त नेट साठी आहे, कॉल जुन्या नंबर वर करत जा ".

Basic idea is "One mobile number for Internet, second for receiving calls as it’s the old number".

" ह्या बाबतीत मात्र आमचा विषय गोल आहे ". कॉलिंग पण त्यात आणि नेट पण त्यातच, it’s a different story that I use a small little basic smart phone. (Sometimes the smartness is only limited to the appearance).

Mobile phones:

It has been a longtime friend of mine, together since 2002 to be precise, from Good old college days, limited calling and unlimited messages time frame.

"Miss call" was the happening thing those days.

Mobile scenario was like:

      1.      Big in size handsets

      2.      Fancy heavy mobile cases

      3.      Mobile hung across the waist belt

      4.      Mobiles with Antennas etc etc etc.

A lot to be said about Mobile phones, but this write up @ something else.

I had a BSNL sim card for long time then, but as I was going to be out of India all the way to England for higher studies for couple of years, my phone was going to be with my mother.

(It’s very difficult to handover your phone directly to your mother, which she will be using it full time & that too post your college days is a big risk your taking- [Boys would definitely understand what I am saying rt. now]).

"जुना नंबर सगळ्यांकडे होता आणि त्यात कोण कधी कॉल करलं, काय बोललं & कोण काय मेसेज करलं काय सांगता येत न्हवतं"

But I had no other option & I handed my mobile to my mother “जे होईल ते बघून घेऊ”

Personally I have a habit to save every other number in mobile contact, so I almost have each number with whom I have ever communicated.

So I was in England for higher studies & was back to Kolhapur almost after a year for vacation.

Meanwhile my mother had regularized my Mobile, she said " आता ह्यो माझा नंबर आहे, तुझा तुझा दुसरा घे".

I was going to be in home only for a month, so I dint bothered her. I took a temporary number from Pankaj my friend. I was lucky enough to get a Fancy number on the very same day.

One thing @ Kolhapur, u might be knowing or ever heard about "The Numbers Craze"

We are die-hard number followers like Vehicle registration number (हृदया जवळ चा विषय), Mobile numbers are also similar subject of interest for us.

So as my previous number was taken by my mother I opted new number with ending of 0909. (त्यातल्या त्यात बरा). 

Number was on & so was the communication.

Days past by & one late evening I received a strange message inbox "Dont talk to me again". " आता म्हंटलं ह्यो कोण आणि "

Number was unknown but looked familiar, So I called back to see who it really was, to my surprise it was disconnected that too I guess intentionally. I instantly received a message " I dont want to talk to you". I got more anxious & called the number again. Disconnected again. I thought it might be friend of mine since I was back in town might be bluffing with me. So I forgot the matter & carried with my routine.

I received a message after some time "Sorry message was sent by mistake".

I became more curious now " हे आहे तरी कोण ". Few messages were exchanged, the getaway was "The sender desired to send message to another number by was sent to me as only one digit of the number was wrongly entered".

एक फेमस dialouge आहे " गल्ती कि सजा मिलेगी बराबर मिलेगी".

Dont know why but somehow we started exchanging messages, some way or the other. (वो वक्त हि कूच ऐसा था ". I knew it was a girl, so I was more keen to know @ her. (आईला हे तर rhyme झाला कि राव)

Within next few weeks we had a telephonic conversation & yes it was a girl & she was Dr. D. (Name not mentioned). Life is so strange & we come across so many strangers, some we remember some we dont.

"It very nicely said Strangers are just friends waiting to happen".

This Stranger which is none other than Dr. D, we met couple of times then after & now she happens to be one of my good friends.
