Cellular

I saw this movie on cable - Cellular, the story is bout an average house wife, played by Kim Basinger ( yeah right, Kim average house wife!!) who is held hostage in her house and her only medium of contact is a random cell phone number...n blah blah blah.

I had a slightly different experience recently…..
Our Global Business Head (GBH) was in town . As usual, after a lengthy meeting in the morning I stepped out of my office for a smoke and was enjoying the view of the sea and warm breeze.
One of my buddy from Vegas had come in last night and I thought of finalizing the evening plan (we r pretty simple folks, plan = getting blind drunk).
This is what happened…

I Vs The cellphone

Dialed the number and pressed the call button on my phone.
(at the same time GBH called, n my cell phone connected him)

I: Hello
Cellphone: Hello

I: Yes sir, how was vegas ??
Cellphone: Hello (obviously confused)

I: So gr8 gambler, how were the nightclubs ?? u must have gambled a lot.
Cellphone: Hello…Divyadeep ??

I: (suddenly realizing what has happened)
I: no…wrong number…..

Thankfully….the guy had a sense of humor, and the department a good laugh.
