My Vodafone - Friend, Philosopher, Guide

Its amazing how you find people who turn out to be that father figure and guiding light in your life. For most of us you need to go out there and find one for yourself. For some of us, a fatherfigure is always at hand offering succinctly worded wisps of wisdom now and then. For Vodafone users ofcourse, advice is only a message away; a portable, on-demand, 3 bucks per message, Friend, Philosopher, Guide, Astrologer... and quite a bit more that you'd never realise if you were one of those who delete these messages as soon as you see the sender's name.

Sometimes, there are sources of joy in our lives which remain hidden to us. You need a wise person to point it out to you. For eg. wouldn't you be positively thrilled if you knew that your zodiac foretells of an imminent meeting with a vivacious young maiden within the next month. Wait, it gets better. Clearly you must be wondering what to do in the meantime. Well, VT-VODAFONE has answers to that too. It acts a carry-in-your pocket pimp always eager to let you get in touch with 'girls in your neighbourhood.' Well, either that or its probably try to do what those online marriage brokering sites do.

 So, now that you are hooked up (one way or another) with a 'pretty maiden' (well, not so sure about the 'maiden' part, strictly speaking), Vodafone even tells you how to pick the best of the many maidens who'll come your way. Afterall, you definitely need to brace yourself for many more than one, what with the several times it is predicted by your zodiac (I get
three everyday, boy, next month's gonna be busy).

For eg. based on the numerological significance of the arrangement of letters in my name, V-VT tells me that I am most likely to be happy if I marry someone 'vivacious and full of zest', one who can 'share my joy for living it up'. See, why I trust V-VT so much is because of the fact that it(?) is able to see my real personality, of how, even though I appear content doing a mind numbing 8-6, on the inside, I really want to 'live it up' (though I haven't really thought about how; must make a note to ask V-VT).

Its V-VT that helped me discover my real character. For instance, I never knew I had an 'innate ability to connect with people'. Forget the fact that on any given day my interaction with anybody would be confined to no more than 15 syllables or so; what matters is the potential: that I can connect if I try. Another thing I didn't know about my own character was that I was a very caring person.

Apparently, because of this inherent character, I love animals and children. Now, I don't have any kids (to the best of my knowledge) and the only significant thought I have given any animals were when they came served on a plate. However, its good to rediscover oneself. Coming to think of it, maybe I do like children (and V-VT is already trying to help me make
some) and as far as my love for animals go,  I am now considering quitting my job and setting up a poultry. That way, I get to give animals my attention well before they end up on my plate.

V-VT always puts a smile on my face at the end of a long day with one of 'em, "Your motha's sooo fat that ..." jokes. It helps me plan for the weekend movie by delivering the best snaps of the women starring in it. It helps me find out cool facts about the world that I never knew, like the fact that reindeer is a delicacy in Sweden (Does Santa know?). And I never start a day without one of those thought provoking messages that VT sends me, "If you think you can't, you can't."

What would I do without my Vodafone-VT? Have you noticed how persistent VT is? Do you realise how desperately VT wants to help? If you don't have someone you can look upto and turn to for help when you so need it, look no further. Just stop deleting those messages that VT sends you. Let them in and watch your life transform.
