The spam called Airtel

Spamming thru e-mail is passe, now it's spammng ur cell phones...

"Koothapur, Pathur oorgalukku vandachu Airtel! 400kkum athigamaana oorgalil prachinai illadha sirandha coverage!"

"PLAY & WIN 1KG of GOLD. Just call 6060 and be lucky!"

These are some of the spam messages that Airtel regularly sends out to its customers. One can expect at least 6 or 7 message on average per day. And irrtatingly enough, it will come at all the wrong times... When you are sleeping, wen u r attending a meeting etc.

I have a honest request for Airtel, please don't spam the customers and test their patience... I mean, it doesn't make a difference to me if you announce that you have network coverage in some remote town/village when at times I myself living in a city is not getting full coverage.... I doesn't make any sense when I lose Rs. 10/min calling your so called "lucky win" numbers...

I still remember that during this New Year's Eve, the Airtel network was down from 11:30 PM to 2:00 AM... Hoping tat they will stop spamming (hope it doesn't remain as a hope!)

PS: If you know of anymore spam mobile messages, please feel free to add it in the comments section :-)

Ariyaatha pillakku choriyumbol ariyum!

As a kid/teenager, my only source of information to learn malayalam was Manorama Publications' Balaram, a children's fortnightly and my granny. I still vividly remember how she used to teach me the basics of malayalam whenever I come to Kerala on vacations. My granny was also a great source of amazement for me as she used malaylam proverbs or the so called "pazham chollu" every now and then. These proverbs, though small in length and use, had deep insights! Though I can read/write Malayalam today, thx to Balarama and my granny, I used to miss her proverbs a lot. But not anymore!!
