MissTaken Identity

Telemarketers are a irksome lot but in this incident they provided the fodder for an interesting blog.

My colleague happened to have her husband's cellphone with her for a day. It was just about getting to the middle of the day with my colleague busy finishing up a technical document when she heard the one sound, that makes all scamper for it - yup, the indispensable Mr. Mobile. When she answered the call; at the other end was a insurance telemarketer. For the sake of brevity, I am just putting the first two lines of the conversation because the rest doesn't matter:

Colleague: 'Hello'
Agent : 'Madam. Good Morning. Am I speaking to Mr. Ramani?'
