NATASHA

I am quite amazed by the sick and ugly voices which you have to hear when you call someone and the number is either "This number is out of service" or "has been switched off" with the same being repeated in Hindi/ Punjabi/ whatever. I have realised that over my intense practise and my luck of knowing people who are either somewhere where you cannot reach them or have just changed their numbers (when you were too lazy to store the new one that they had messaged you)is that the ugly the voice the ugly is the phone service. I was horrified to hear this voice when she told me that the "phone is out of reach". I mean with all due respect, but all I could imagine and relate this was to my maid in my college days when I was staying with some friends asking me early on a Sunday morning, "Baba, kamra saaf karduein". Anywhich way, it serves the purpose BUT can definetely be improved.


And then sometimes, I just wonder why it only has to be girls voice fed in the computer chanting the slogans time and again. More appealing for sure is one reason which leads me to the topic I want to write about Natasha. People have never seen her but have only heard about her. She is a Russian with a very soothing voice but in the event that you hear that, the only option which you have is to press the red button and eject for she only knows how to say and ofcourse in her seductive and soothing voice, "the engine is on fire, please eject". The voice is still there in the Migs which we fly now but its rather unfortunate that most of the pilots who have heard this could not survive to tell the tale.
