I had a lovely phone conversation today with a very polite young chap who said he was calling from Microsoft.
“Hello, saar, how are you doing today?”
“I’m very well, thank you for asking. And how are you? More importantly… WHO are you?”
“Saar, my name is Gupta, and I’m calling phrom Microsoft.”
“Microsoft, eh? Is that a city out there somewhere? How’s the weather today — hot, or is it monsoon season? I’ve seen those National Geographic documentaries… that’s some serious rain!”![]()

“No, saar, the weather is bery good. I am calling phrom MICROSOFT — the computer kampany — Mr. Bill Gates’ kampany. We have phound a serious problem with your computer…”
“REALLY? My computer? Well, that’s very worrying…”![]()
“Yes, saar, it could become catastrophic for your piles, your passwords, even your internet banking! But don’t worry — I can fix it for you…”
“No,” I interrupted, “it’s worrying because… I don’t actually HAVE a computer.”
Silence.
“You don’t, saar?”
“I don’t, Gupta. No computer.”
“Ahhh… then it must be your laptop.”
“Gupta.”
“Yes, saarr?”
“I don’t have one.”
“An iPad?”
“Nope.”
“A tablet?”
“Nope. None of those.”
Pause.
“As a matter of fact, Gupta… I don’t even have a telephone.”![]()

A few seconds of tense silence.
Then he says,
“Ah, saar… now you are lying to me!”
I replied,
“Well… you started it!”![]()

And I hung up.
