Tk. 12!

Yesterday, after quite a while I had credit on my phone, yet it wasn't much, merely 100Tk, which by today morning was 86.

The one reason why I don't usually get much credit for my phone is because I have a pretty little habbit of calling up old friends or teachers and using up all my credit, totally oblivious of the money I'm spending. Today that happened again. I was early for my maths class, so I called up my friend Nabil on his cell phone, who lives in the US now.
'The caller you have called, does not have a voicemail box' said the flirtacious female voice from the other end, with a light accent. I admit I was confused, who wouldn't be? But then I realised his cell phone must be turned off, so i dialled his room number. There was no reply. Fun for me! I was surrounded by a bunch of insanely disturbing individuals whom I detest, who lack in civil manners, and fail to engage in a normal conversation let alone speak properly. It wasn't exactly my idea of a fun classroom.

So I go through my phone book again and Atif's name came up. He is another lameass friend of mine who had left for the US last year and I called him up. The godd thing was he picked up, the bad thing was all he kept on saying was 'hello hello?' It would have been ok for me to keep on sayin 'Atif, its me!' but I had called halfway across the globe and it was costing me around Tk.20 a minute. After 10 seconds of 'hello' I hung up and dialled again. This time, the wonderful magic of technology didn't fail me, and he could hear me and we had a 3 minute conversation. It was fun but how much could you share in just 3 mintues with an old friend? I got back to class and told my only friend in the class, sadia, about how I had called atif, and she thought I was insane to be calling up people in America when I hardly ever have credit. She did have a point, but hell the rest of humaity think I'm insane anyway so all I can do is just be insane!

As i checked my a/c I realised I had only Tk.12 left. It did come as quite a surprise, I assumed i would have atleast Tk.30 or 40 but well what do you know? Life is always full of surprises! It wasn't great for someone who is completely broke at the end of the month. So as much as i hated it, I had to ask sadia to lend me Tk.50 for my phone credit and assured her I would pay her back on the 8th of next month, the day I would get paid. So much to pay for, so much to buy, and all to be done within a mere Tk.4000...sighh..the only thing I can afford is an occasional coke, the rest is all spent on my rickshaw fare and buying birthday gifts for friends or family. Which reminds me that Aumiya's birthday is coming up next month, mine the month after that and Imtiaz's the month after that! hahaha...another 3 months of borrowing more money from my mummy! life officially SUCKS! when did it stop sucking anyway?

Good Phase

Today the sun is up.
