Once Bitten, Twice Shy
A blogger on Dawn complains about the avalanche of commercial/spam texts Pakistani cell-phone subscribers are subjected to:
And this, my friends, is the comment of the week, maybe year:
For its convenience and revolutionary potential, I have always enjoyed texting. Lately, however, SMS messages have become the greatest irritant in my life. Two out of every five messages I receive are spam – a gibberish amalgam of symbols and text, an advertisement, a riddle, a prayer or instructions on how to pray, a plug for a television show, a homeopathic remedy, or a solicitation from a political party.
And this, my friends, is the comment of the week, maybe year:
Atleast you never got a text message early in the morning (jolting you out of your sleep) that said “A.A. Nazia” with the subject, “Call for love”.
Indeed.

I will admit that the first time I did call it but then then automated lady said that the number was not in use. Now I’m wiser.
