“We can predict a person’s personality by his sleeping position. SMS SLEEP to 51515 and find out more about your personality. Rs 3/sms”

This is the text message arriving in my inbox, four times one after another in a time span of 3 minutes. My Monday morning blues got aggravated the moment I saw this senseless message again in my inbox after deleting it two times already. I just felt like throwing my mobile in a random direction and praying it would hit the content writer of this promotional message. I really got no clue about the mindset of these guys when they draft such a shitty message. To top it all, on a second thought I wondered if there were people who would be inquisitive enough to respond back.

But seriously, I never thought that someone could predict my personality based on my sleeping position. So what am I required to do? Wake up in the middle of the night and without moving myself try to imagine the sleeping position I am in and immediately sms SLEEP to 51515y. Or do I need to appoint someone to sit next to my bed and make notes of my sleeping positions at different hours through the night? Or rather, I should have a camera fixed in my room doing the job for me.

But even if I achieve the step one, what’s in store for me next? Will they reply me saying my personality is identical to Adolf Hitler or Jessie Owens :-))). Either ways, humans have a tendency to turn an ironical situation into a humorous one to get over it. Similarly after few minutes when I had got over the rage caused by the sms, I stood up and shared this with one of my team members and we had a hearty laugh. The discussion roped in some more hilarious instances related to promotional messages and from that moment on, I eagerly await more of such nonsense to hit my inbox.
