Funny Thing Called SMS

Funny Thing Called SMS

Hi This is Bobby Koshy Varghese Reporting Yet Again From God's Own Country. This thing happened when I was in One of those Beautiful, vibrant, enigmatic , euphoric , sentimental, romantic , magnanimous n buoyant college days.

Mobile phones Where Usurping every Jeans Pocket In the College. On My End Its as Usual as to grab any new Trend that’s at the gates of the campus. So there I was in front of all the mobile stores in the town in search of the so called “Cant- BEAT- my-Phone “ sort of Phone. Keeping In My Mind the Serious scarcity for money I tried to negotiate Between Style and the golden Bucks I managed to sneak from Dad on my last trip to Home.Finally I got Hold Of one Which was really cool and which was a fair compromise between my likings and my budget.Anyway I ensured that it would impress everyone. On the days that followed the whole campus started twinkling with Mobile Phone Mania. People got Phones Which were more impressive than that of mine. This is what u call as Getting Outdated. And Hence Forth Came the Great Era of SMSs. Coz making calls wont suffice the monthly Pocket Money That arrived from Home. I used to wonder How many SMSs ld b flying across the skies of our campus. So much so that they could cause air traffic Problems.


SMS (if U dont know ) fall into 8 different catogories. They are:-

1.Love Messages( Couples Sending it to each other. 24X7 service and forms the Bulk of the Lot)
2.Friendship messages( The Solace of the commoner. This comes with the relief that someone is there to think of u )
3.Group messages(Cheapest of the lot and the most widely exploited)
4.Forwards(U do it coz u r frustrated since u don recieve any and hence in expectation of recieving a reply or another forward)
5.Airtel,Hutch, Idea Offers(Sometimes Very Useful, at times it will rib ur brain)
6.Informational Messages(Like The Ones U recieve from ur class Rep Saying that the class test is postponed)
7.Personal Messages(Eg: "Hows U? Hows Life?" Though U met her Before leaving college,that particular Evening, u just cant resist the crush)
8.Anonymous Messages(The Most Interesting as well as the Most DANGEROUS of the SMS genre)

Since I din fall into the first 7 catogories and GOD's will was that i must fall into the Eighth, I started recieving a set of highly interesting Anonymous Messages on a beautiful december evening. I welcome U all to the series of SMS messages that i shared with my Anonymous Messenger...!!!
