Well I am a happy man, I am overwhelmed by the moderate responses that I got from the blog titled "The day Andy said good bye to 9893159679'. I know that the story could have been better written. I would try to spend more time polishing my next story. Well friends I write stories by visualising myself in other people's shoes. There is nothing more or nothing less.

Well the protagnist in the story was giving up his SIM number because as it is said in the story that he was migrating to another state. The concept of number portability happening in India is still somewhere in the distant future. Once that is implemented there would not be the need for surrendering the number when you move out to another telecom circle. With a prepaid mobile connection you have the advantage of retaining the SIM but when you have a postpaid connection, there is no option but to surrender the SIM, otherwise you need to be ready to pay huge monthly bills in the form of roaming charges.

I want to thank all the people who have been kind enough to encourage the small writer in me.
