So strange…

Sometimes weird things happen to the best of us. Really.

I was just about to leave from office yesterday when a call came and sent a shiver down my spine!

There was this voice, strong, powerful and all consuming force. This gentleman was practically devoid of any feelings whatsoever.

But any case, he seemed helpful, just doing his job.

He told me in a hurried tone “You haven’t paid your bills yet for the past 3 months. You are given just 2 days extra after which your case will be submitted in court. You have a balance amount of KD 59.5 which you can pay in any nearby booth”

Guess where the call was from?

Zain!
Oh please!

I bought a Zain E-go wi-fi from one of their booths at 360 degree mall.
It was meant to be a one month test drive for me which I wanted to try so that I can use it whenever the Wi-fi in my flat goes way too low in terms of it speed.
I consumed all of it around 2 GB worth of downloads and just forgot about it.

Unless I don’t use it, I don’t pay right! And moreover I had already consumed my quota for that month.

When I bought this piece, I had given my contact numbers, civil ID etc but no SMS, calls, emails etc came to me to remind me of my due payment. And all of a sudden I am expected to pay it? And I was even told that they were not able to get in touch with me.

When they couldn’t contact me then, how can they get in touch with me now? Strange isn’t it?

Anyways, its better to be safe from burdens now than repent later.
My urgency in this issue got better off me and I hurried to Souq Sharq to go and pay the bill rather than attracting such problems.

Finally I managed to pay the bill and call back at the same number to inform them that the amount has been paid with no overdue payments.

I swore myself that I’ll be happy with whatever Wi-fi strength I get at my place and not run around for such gadgets offered by these telecom companies.

Atleast I’ll get a good night’s sleep.

About Raj

Hey Guys, Welcome to my random world where only thoughts matters. We’ll see where it takes us. Atleast I hope it will initiate a debate and probably aid in changing perceptions and opinions. My name is Rajan and I am based in Chennai I am from the advertising world (You would have already guessed it by now) and mainly to do with media planning. It’s a great world out there. I am thoroughly blessed to be married to Sowmea who happens to be my sounding board and my great critic. We have two kids and they ensure that we are grounded to reality and keep up with their quest on exploring unchartered territories with their loads of questions and finding eternal answers. That’s where the idea of Random thoughts was born. The “z” in the thoughts implies a twist in the tale and hopefully my forward outlook! Keep visiting… keep thinking… Have a nice time!
