"Hello Sir, This is Shreya calling on behalf of Airtel relationship centre."
"Sir, Since you are our esteemed customer we have a special offer for you."
"But..but..." (She ignores all the interruptions as this is priviledged call for her.)
"We have a special offer for you. On the basis of your Airtel connection we are providing you free add-on connection"
"See am already pissed off with the Airtel service and am planning to change my connection and switch to some other provider"
"Sir that's true but this is a great offer for you. You dont have to pay any extra charges for it."
She continues with all the details and i hang up।
****************************************************
"Hello, Is this Mr kumar"
"Yes speaking"
"Good morning sir"
"Good morning"
She appears to be very soft-spoken.
"Sir, this is Kavita calling on behalf of CitiBank. We have a special Gold card offer for you which is free and through this card you get benefits at various shopping malls.
We offer you a watch as gift for your membership. Also, on this card you get upto 5% cash back on any Indian Oil petrol pump."
She completes all this in one breath and could have continued, had not i interferred.
"See i already have credit card from some other bank and am not interested in getting another."
Now her voice gets pulsating..
"Lekin sir agar ek aur card le lenge to kya hoga. Free hi to hai"
"Nahi mujhe nahi lena."
Now she gets too much urging with a lucrative offer.
"Theek hai sir, aap aisa kijiye ye card banwa lijiye and then kutch dinon baad disable karwa dijiyega. Aapko ek watch bhi mil jayega."
"Sorry, am not interested."
And i hang up.

It is not that these sells person think about their benefit only. They are too much caring and can be good consultant too.
"Hi Sir, This is Vikas from ABC credit card section."
I can't ignore the call as i hold the card from this bank and am expecting that they are trying to give some info.
"Sir, You are holding our credit card and your payment record is very good."
"Yes i know, go ahead."
"Sir, we have a tie up with xyz life insurance. So the company has decided to give you mediclaim upto Rs 10000, on your card."
"See i already have mediclaim for myself from some other Life insurance so i dont want any other."
He now tries to become a consultant who charges nothing but your time.
"Ok sir, but you know medicalim is never good enough for a person. You need to get as much as possible. And also this offer costs you nothing more than a premium of 1k yearly."
"But i told you na tha i dont need it. Thanks"
"Ok sir, so there is another offer for you"
"Sorry, i am not interested."
***********************************************
And this is really funny....
"Hello sir this is Kavita.."
Before she speaks anything i interrupt her in between..
"Ok so you are calling from CitiBank credit cards. Ma'm you called me just a few minutes back."
She starts laughing.
"Sorry Sir.."
