Call from Death: My Experience

Have you ever had an experience where you don’t want to believe something but you still do? I just had one. Yesterday night I got a call from the weirdest number ever. The phone was ringing but to my dismay I couldn’t find it. As usual my mother kept it somewhere after talking on the phone. By the time I reached the phone, it had stopped ringing. Generally when such a thing happens the best thing to do is check the caller ID, just to make sure you didn’t miss a call from someone important. So I did, and the number was 999-999-9999. I was freaking out since I’ve never really received a call from The number before.

What is one supposed to do when one doesn’t know something? Google it of course. So I did, and the first search that came up was titled “Phone Call Of Death.” Being the nervous guy that I am, for a second there I actually believed the title. So naive. Daringly I checked the topic and I find out that it’s just a telemarketers way of stopping phones from blocking them. Ah! The joy of feeling safe.

But what this unique experience, if I may call it that, taught me was that no matter how hard you try, your natural instincts take over. I been brought up in India, the land of superstition and weird beliefs, and even though I try hard not to believe in such things, at the moment I need my “I don’t believe in this crap” mentality it never seems to work. On the bright side, I got something to write about.

On a side note: People need to choose better titles if they’re going to be the number one search result for Google. Almost gave me a heart-attack.
