I think we all have a visit from wrong numbers. Typically, when I say, Wrong number or in the local accent : Wrang Numberu !! It stops..
But well this started with my husband receiving calls from somewhere around North Karnataka. Now don’t ask me what kind of cosmic connection Rocky has with North Karnataka, but there you go. All the numbers who misdial are from that side.. having similar denominations.
Typically, Rocky being used to many wrong number calls, he starts off responding to Kannada Dialect with his Assamese dialect and typically, the person on the other line disconnects coming to the conclusion that it is not his number.
What is more interesting that we have had our numbers from past 10 years and have not changed it and well the spate of wrong calls have been increasing for the past year.
Case X :
This caller turned out to be more painful than the others…
Day 1 : Caller ( an old lady voice ) calls and Rocky responds in his Assamese dialect. Caller drops the phone.
Caller calls again …. and again…. and again… after a spate of about 15 minutes.
The “you speak your lingo and I speak mine” obviously did not work.
Rocky puts this number in his address book addressed as “@(&#^ moron” and we forget about it after having a short laugh.
Day 2 : Caller ( the same old lady voice) calls again and says .. Hella!!Hella !! Helaaaa !!! ???? Yaru ( In Kannada : who is this) !!!!!
Rocky keeps talking nonsense in his lingo and well she puts down the phone.
Day 3 : Day 4 : Day 5 : This keeps on repeating.
And to add to it, the first call would be this old lady and after that she would call her husband or son to make the call again.. maybe thinking that a male voice would scare Rocks.
But Rocky being Rocky undettered , sometimes puts hard rock or the radio near the phone sometimes generally talks whatever he feels like. I can see Rocks getting pissed with the Hellaaaa !! bit..
I am meanwhile watching this without much reaction.. to see who will give up first..
But Rocky keeps trying to invent creative ways to make them drop the phone.
Day 6 : while we were having tea, in the morning, suddenly this number calls again… Fed up of this, I pick up the phone and tell them in Kannada that its the wrong number and why dont they stop calling ??
Caller sheepishly apologizes and drops the call.
Every other day, the caller keeps calling and sometimes, Rocky just keeps it on silent but then otherwise, he ignores it.. sometimes, he really gets irritated…
One day, I see Rocky searching You Tube for some Kannada Dialouges.. funny dialouges to spout when the caller calls..
I still very much ignore his efforts.. To me, I know till Rocky does something crazy to have his anger satisfied, he will not stop.. and its fun actually watching him come up with newer methods..
Day N : Caller again calls Hellaaaa !!! ???? !!
At this time, I think I was working with some music.. it was evening time… and while I was key banging in rhythm with the music, the living room had its light dimmed…
Suddenly, I hear Rocky skipping on alternate legs, dancing and singing.,…. loudly to the phone….. Helllaaa ??? Hellaaa !!HELLA !! LIGHT FORCE !! K&N …Helllaaa ??? Hellaaa !!HELLA !! LIGHTFORCE !! K&N …Helllaaa ??? Hellaaa !!HELLA !! LIGHTFORCE !! K&N …Helllaaa ??? Hellaaa !!HELA !! LIGHTFORCE !! K&N … ( by the way, if you are wondering what Rocky was shouting, he was randomly shouting the names of some car accessories brands.. )
with the now not so soothing music.. .. .
I was like :O :O :O …
Rocky does not sing… so seeing him jumping around and singing to the phone was a sight to see…
I was rolling with laughter… till tears came out of my eyes..
Suffice it to say, the calls stopped for a while…
But I have to update saying that after that while, the calls still continue… now, we just keep it on silent, praying that it goes off..
Caller refuses to believe that our number is the wrong number..
GAHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!
