UBC Day 27 : Silence…

Tring- Tring, the phone rang.
She willed it to stop ringing.
Unmindful of her turmoil, it continued to disrupt her inner peace as well as the silence of the room.
Thoughts of an impending harassment over a crank call were clouding her mind, when she heard him say, “No, I don’t want a credit card.”

Fortunately, I don’t get any credit card selling/upgrading calls (any longer). BTW, why should the phone ring only in ‘Tring tring’ still? It can also ring like ‘Jadoo hai nashaa hai…’, no? 🙂

After a few rings, it should go to voice mail. Right?
July 27, 2013 7:53 pm|
The Tring Tring phones here have still not upgraded themselves to send the calls to a voice mail 😉 😛

I know… very irritating! 😐
July 27, 2013 8:50 pm|
That was an anti climax but matter of fact.
July 28, 2013 9:05 am|
Yeah, I chose the route of an anti-climax… providing a seemingly trivial solution to a significant conflict. 😛
July 28, 2013 1:03 am|
This actually made me ‘guffaw’…seriously!
July 28, 2013 9:05 am|

You must definitely try it out! 🙂

the end is quite an unexpected one and yet when you imagine our lives with pesky calls, who would it have been really!

True, we always wonder who might be that regular crank caller and in some homes, these calls might be the reason for discord in the family, much to the oblivion of the caller.

lol!!! I pick the phone listen the word “I am calling from XYZ Bank” and promptly say, “Not interested than you” and disconnect the call 😀
July 31, 2013 3:25 pm|

July 29, 2013 11:56 am|
Yes,these cranky calls are a great nuisance.
July 31, 2013 3:26 pm|
True!
July 29, 2013 5:51 pm|
I get sometimes irritated by these calls. Nicely written for the prompt 🙂

Nice micro-fiction Shilpa 🙂 These are the times you start missing the calm of the pre-cellphone times 😛
