* Cut the call*


----------------------------------------------------


Your mobile rings, with your friend's name flashing on the screen... you pick up the call and say "hello". But your friend doesn't respond. Instead, you hear anonymous sounds and voices. Ooops... she did it again.

Yet another instance where your friend hasn't locked the keypad of her mobile phone, and mysteriously, at the mysterious push of a mysterious button, a mysterious call comes to you. You answer it and find yourself listening to a mysterious conversation. *cut that call*

Well getting such phone calls maybe entertaining... It solely depends upon whats happening on the other end. Sometimes it makes your imagination soar. It could be your friend talking to a special someone (hey I am not eavesdropping, trust me !) Or what if her mobile phone was stolen/ lost/misplaced, and whoever has found its, is unable to handle it (That's a reasonable concern worth imagining)

My concern is - you burn a hole in your mobile phone bills, by failing to lock your keypad !!!

And also, do be warned... you may be talking about someone or something and you accidentally press the call button, and your phone connects to somebody else. It leaves you in a situation where someone is listening to your private conversation.

You are not going to lose anything by consciously locking your keypad every time after you use your phone. If you are so absent minded, consider using your phone settings to set to an automatic lock after... say..10 secs ??? I hope that serves the purpose.

If you find yourself reading this post and nodding your head at the same time, acknowledging the fact that you do receive such phone calls.... Then please for heaven sake talk to your friend and ask him/ her to do the needful - "LOCK THE KEYPAD"


*Trrriiinngggggggggg*

oh nooooooo..... not again !
