Do I Really Want To Express Myself

This is my first time when I don’t like my favorite musicians tune this is not because tune is not good. I think this is one of his greatest works which is still in my favorite list then what is the issue, why each time this tune meet my ear’s internal membrane, it triggers some chemical reaction which make me vexatious. I suppose in my unconscious mind somewhere some logic has been rewritten which is responsible for this effect. Let me tell you this story which I suppose is responsible for this physically strange reaction.

The story starts from that day when I need to go to America for one official assignment. So my cell phone was going to remain ideal for at least next 3 months I tried to find out a solution to keep my number to avoid any hassle of distributing it again to everyone but here was the twist, one lady in sweet voice offered me an option to keep my number by just paying few hundred bucks, wow this sounds nice (may be because of her voice but I didn’t give a second thought for opting that). So just like a responsible citizen I paid all my dues with additional service charges and made my cell into “Safe Custody” as they call it.

When I returned back from my trip, I tried to activate my number again. Some lady again in sweet voice asked 50 bucks from me as service charge to activate it again. No issues please do it as soon as possible I replied ( even it was a pain for me, why the hell I need to pay 50 bucks again but never mind I getting my number back may be I have not read ( * ) section). Ur number will get activated in next four hours sir, she replied.

After 12 hours my number wasn’t started, I called them back. This time a guy replied sir u need to reinsert ur SIM, ur number is very well activated. I feel satisfied with the answer I said thanks and disconnected. After making several effort of reinserting my SIM in phone I still get same message “Registration failed” (but that was a nice exercise for ur fingers, try it). I again made a call, this time lady again. Sir it seems u have some issues with ur SIM u need to go to other customer care centre (It’s a pain if someone ask u to go some centre which works only 11 am to 6 pm in mid of a week), My reply was Ok ill try to manage. When I appeared next day at so called Customer Care centre they told me that ur SIM has been changed this one is wrong SIM please ensure( How the hell this could happen) I told them this has an impossible probability but for the god sake tell me the solution. We can give u another sim on the same number with the cost Rs 300 and it will get activated in four hours, they replied. After 72 hour long struggle I wasn’t able to deny this offer. Please do it.

After another 24 hours and make reinsurance calls saying “Our apologies for delay and ur nos will get activated in next four hours” (loop at least 10 times) they told me that before three month ur number was not made in self custody but u had closed ur connection (another Mystery if I made self custody call then who did that, I suppose the same person who did my SIM change in US), So u can’t get ur connection back because it is now converted into lifetime prepaid. Here is new form sir u just need to provide us few document and Rs 250 deposit to so called “ Express Yourself ”.

That’s my story, responsible to decide me not to express any further and thus I changed my service provide from AIRTEL to HUTCH. Now I am planning to sue Mr. A R RAHMAN whose alluring tunes are responsible to put me this ambuscade, be prepare sir. I am also planning to find out and sue the Mysterious Mr. X who is playing with my life from the last three months. Someone asked, Why not sue AIRTEL. Let me think …
