missing you!!

Oh i miss my AIRTEL!!


I had been a Airtel Customer for over 3 years till the dreaded day arrived..used to curse airtel alot, but now that its gone..i really miss all the fun AIRTEL gave me..not to focus on the highest service cost, calling cost n blah blah..

Till date Airtel continues to amaze me with their business tact as no one did..i used to get so many calls from airtel centers to take new offers n schemes which did nothing apart from drilling a bigger hole in my pocket..During the months of December, January and February my phone bill touched new heights, thanks to my trip to Goa and the so called big FEST @ colg, each month bill competing with the earlier months' in a race to doom my financial fortunes .. they did fully succeed .. and during this period of three months I did not receive a single SMS/call from Airtel about offers/subscriptions .. the one time they called was around the 28th of each month to tell me that my validity was going to expire and i needed to recharge to continue making calls..
But the moment i tried to get a control of my spendings in terms of cell recharging s the airtel i guess became frantic and started making desperate calls.. ;-)

some of the unusually great marketing tricks which i can recollect that Airtel employed..

Offer 1 -> Dear Airtel Customer, We have a special Offer JUST FOR YOU. Make at least 5 calls everyday between 10AM to 5PM and win a chance to win a 29 inch color TV .. absolutely FREE (hello!! xcuz me!! yeah i get that dumbo .. WIN means FREE) Here you should know that Airtel had noticed that between 10 to 5 i was only receiving calls and had not made a single call between these timings for about 20 days ..

Offer 2 -> Dear Airtel Customer, NOW you can download your favorite ring tones for FREE. just dial #@%% and choose your ring tone (Note - standard call charges apply)Screw you .. given the time it take me to get to the ring tone menu . it's almost the same bill as having a heavy meal at Pizza Hut or Bercos

Offer 3 -> Dear Airtel Customer, We have a special offer just for YOU. This offer is extended to only a few select customers and you are among the lucky ones. You can now get your Hello Tune from amongst the top three Hello Tunes FOR FREE. We will play the top three at the end of this message and you can select you favorite tone. (This got me interested .. coz this was Airtel calling and i could download for free .. meaning absolutely no charge at all).

Song 1 -> @#$%^&*!ASW!#$#S#@.. ( Me .. "what the hell, which language..i cant even get till date" ) ..
Song 2 -> Aashiq banaya aapne.. aashiq banaya (Me .. "Oh god .. please tell me this is a April Fool thing and they will play some nice song at the end of all this torture" )..
Song 3 -> airtel tone(Me..." if u dont put the god damn phone down ill come to your office and will beat the hell out of your Head of Operations")...

that is where it all ended .. Airtel could do wonders!!
But no more airtel for me in the near future..
Any how .. im listening to this amazing track from "LIFE IN METRO"..n how very apt does it sound..
tere bina dil mera..
mujhse hai keh raha..
tuuuuu khawab saja..
tuuuuu jeele zara...
