All those who avail the facility of a phone are quite used to the phenomena of wrong-calls blank calls and 'cat-calls'.

This is a nuisance but one such happening turned out to be pleasant for me. It was a wrong-call in the beginning but a series of such calls by one person led to my one and only phone friendship.

I accepted the polite sensitivity of the voice and over a period of time the friendship grew.

He decides the time to make sure that I pick the phone. It is always he who calls. I don't know his phone number, may be because I never asked and he never mentioned. I have never seen him. He doesn't want to meet me either.

All I know is his name and I recognize him by his soft voice. He has a good sense of humor.

I like him because he is sensible and never persistent. He is a good phone friend.
