When the phone rang...

The phone at my desk NEVER rings...Everyone calls me on my mobile..and junta here either mail or walk over to my desk, as we interns are all on the same floor!

So, it was a wonderful feeling, when my phone rang...Loud and clear..Heads from other desks turned..My hand just reached the receiver when the ringing stopped as abruptly as it began..!!

Few seconds later, it rang again..I glanced at the unfamiliar number and let it ring for some more time..People walking past my desk gave me a quizzical look..'Never mind..it's not always that my phone rings..' I said to myself!

This time, I was quick to pick up the receiver...'Hi, this is pavan..' Pavan went on...where he worked, what they had installed, what problems they were having...Whenever I began to say something, he simply ignored me and went on and on...At the end of it, I thought he was facing problems with his refrigerator...such was his clarity!

When he couldnt think of anything more to say, he took a micro-second break..I grabbed the opportunity and told him..'I think you've got the wrong number..Who do you want to talk to?!'..'Oh no'..he almost screamed..'Is it something-systems?'..'Wrong number..' I said.. There was no response for sometime..'It's alright..Now that you've heard my problem, do you think you can help me?!'

'Sorry,I have no idea..' I managed to tell him in my near-dumbstruck state!
