Hectic Means Not Hectic But OK!!

Say what?? The title of this post is what a friend of mine commented about his new job and work place. It makes you want to smile, but it also makes you think - how many people really mean what they say?

Sure, we've received lots of forwarded mails about girls not meaning what they say. Forget the ladies, the elections are even hotter. Every politician lies- they make promises and then denies them. The whole world heard them going live on radio and the telly promising roti, makaan and kapada for the masses. Or are they referring to themselves as the masses?

A helluva lot of big companies have this urge too - take Reliance, for example. When they first started out as a CDMA telecom provider, they said 40 paise per minute for local calls. Then they said 40 paise per minute for local calls between Reliance phones. They also quoted very low STD rates. Then they said very low STD rates between Reliance customers.

They said something; and then they said something. Sow what'd Reliance have me do - buy their phones for my family members, my girlfriend and my dog so that I can avail of low phone costs?

I pity those who fell for the Reliance offer at the start of the decade.

As for my friend, he'd probably start with his own personal dictionary.
