Sometimes you receive SMS, totally irrelavent to you, from not only unknown numbers but also from your dear ones. You can conveniently satisfy yourself that the person is unconsciously thinking of you while messaging to some other person.
Once, I received a message from my dealer in Bangalore, 'Back from where? I am in Bangalore!!' Obviously it was not meant for me, I had not asked his whereabouts. So, it meant that he was thinking of me. Or, patting my own back, I had made an impact on him!
This happened when I was at Hospet waiting for my friend to return from elsewhere so that we could spend the evening together. I had been trying to call him all afternoon, but he was not reachable. I finally sent him a message and waited.
Still no response.
I was getting angry. If he was busy or in some meeting, he could have atleast replied or kept me informed, so that I could make other plans. It can't be that he is out of coverage area for this long- the SMS gets delivered at the feeblest of the signals.
He finally called up late in the night enquiring about my plans. I gave him a mouthful and told him how desparately I was trying to reach him.
He said he had not received any SMS from me.
That was when I checked up my sent messages and saw that it was me who had, involuntarily, sent the SMS to my dealer instead of my friend, asking him when he'd return. My dealer had promptly messaged back and I was flying high,convinced of having been all over his mind...
