Shivraj Patil Answering Machine

The BSE was closed today, so I had nothing to do all day. CB Bhave personally called me and told me that because the terrorists had taken over the Taj Hotel and the Oberoi Hotel and left the city in a state of chaos there would be no trading on the stock market.


I always enjoy an unexpected holiday but I do not enjoy being told that I can’t show off my genius on a daily basis. In any case I was pissed with the terrorists and since I was stuck at HOME all day I decided to call up the HOME Minister to demand an explanation.


All I got was this voice operated message in Shivraj Patil’s voice on Shivraj Patil’s answering machine:


"Yo dudes! You’ve reached Shivraj Patil’s residence. Sorry I’m not available at the moment because I’m in Mumbai which as you all know is dealing with terrorists. Don’t you ever wonder how come I always reach a place after it’s been attacked by terrorists?


I’m sorry for the inconvenience; I will try and get back to you after I get back from Mumbai.


For any further help feel free to browse through my voice operated interactive automated user menu developed by BSNL.
