Bas Button Dabao...

Ladies and gentlemen, kids and grandparents!
Here's presenting the million- dollar opportunity to win..errr...ten dollars!!
Jee haan, grab the million dollar chance NOW and the ten dollars could be all yours!!
All you have to do is answer a simple question...

Q. What is the abbreviation for Short Message Service on mobiles?
Option A: MMS
Option B: SMS
Option C: Chat

Hurry!!
Pick up your mobiles and SMS the answer to 0000.
Just go to the "Write messages" in the short message section of your mobile and type ANS and send it to 0000 now.
Lucky winner gets ten dollars, so send as many as you want.
**Cost $1/SMS.


The above is kindly dedicated to all those who run SMS-ki-dukaan in our country these days.

Seriously, everything and anything could be yours, bas button dabao. Your favourite singer/actor/doggy could win on TV, bas button dabao. Request a song on Radio, vote in another online poll, get your results, chat with a celebrity or her aunt, shop, bid do anything and everything by an SMS to an expensive four digit number. Wow! Everything is a touch away. And everybody from watchman to a sabziwala to a beggar has a mobile now. And still some people claim India is a backward country? I should be surprised.


Actually I know why they call us backward. Just look at the standard of questions they ask. They are sooo simple and mindless that the obvious aim is only the profit from sms revenue. And I dunno what kind of people actually blow money over SMSing all this.

Like Sunday's poll in TOI read: Do increasing prices of vegetables fruits and cereals affect the household budgest? Yes or No.


Get my point? So what are you waiting for, make your voice heard and SMS me your opinion now.:P:P

The questions are stupid no doubt ... But have you ever seen anyone win such competitions. None of my friends, relatives, faint acquaintance; nobody has ever won. I wonder how many SMS the answer to such questions. Again, none of my friends, relatives, faint acquaintance has ever SMSed a response to these questions.

Hmmm. Got your point. But I was new to your blog so getting to know you through your posts would've definitely taken time :).

Despite your preferences, I'm happy that I've figured it out so quickly :P.

You doing an internship right now ???
