"Get up!" Calls my mother in the morning as she enters my room. I reach for my cell phone on the side table to check the time and unlock it. Here they are! The daily 'good morning' and 'good night' messages I receive along with some quotes from people I've never heard of. Here's an example:

"To accomplish the great things we must dream as well as act. Good Morning"

I start reading them one by one while going towards the washroom. Then I come across this message that makes me stop in my tracks. With my hand on my racing heart, I say to myself, 'What is this?'

"28 aur 29 november Pakistan key lye aik tareekhi din hoga. is din har taraf khoon kharaba hoga aur charon taraf khoon ki nadiyan bahain ge. kion k...."

I scroll down and my blood boils with anger, you can see below why:

"us din bari eid hai! :P"

I delete all these messages because they are taking up too much space, and also because me and my Nokia just can't bear to keep all this junk with us.

There are many types of such lame messages people send me and my inbox is full of them. Some are supposedly sent from ISI warning the receiver: "Intelligence report: next targeted areas are: All fast food places, DCO house, PC hotel, Fatima Jinnah University, Bara Bazar, NUST, LAL kurti, metro3. more chances of a huge blast in next 24 hours. keep yourself alert round the clock. Please forward to all you Care about!"

I never knew that there is a department in ISI whose job is to send such reports to people through text messages, did you?

Then there are the 'touchy' ones which are aimed to touch your soul and make you say 'aww that's so sweet'.

"A Sad girl was sitting with her boyfriend..Boy: 'you are the second most beautiful girl I've ever seen'. Girl: 'Who's the first?'. Boy: 'It's YOU! When you smile!'"

And then my 'favourite' type; the 'funny ones'. After reading them I can hardly breathe because I am laughing so hard.

"5 Reasons Why "You" Are my Friend :

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

No REASON, Bas meri mat mari gai thi..."

I'm sure you must be in stitches after reading the above mentioned text message, too.

Oh, and did you know you can change the whole system of not only this country, but the whole world through text messages? Wow! I just found it out myself after reading this one.

"next generation wants imran khan to be the president of pakistan. if you agree then forward, if not then delete. its time to bring a positive change in pakistan and the world"

And people you call the greatest poets – Allama Iqbal, Mirza Ghalib and Shakespeare?! You have been deceived my friends! I am in love with the person who wrote this!

"Bikta hai Ghum is dunya k bazar main

Lakhon Dard hote hen Chote se Sansaar main

Ho jaye agar zamane se nafrat to,

WELCOME he apko hamari

Dosti k Darbar main"

And by the way, did I tell you today is "miss you day" because I received this message:

"I Miss you. Aj 20 november Miss You Day hai.Ye sms apnay sweet friends ko send kro muje b karna agar miss kartay ho.Agar 5 sms apko wapis ae to.You are so loving"

I fail to understand why this is not mentioned in any newspapers or why the television channels, which are hungrily looking for such occasions, are still unaware about it or they would have bombarded us with each and every aspect of this day!

Come on, girls and boys, line up! Now I am going to tell you what your life partner is going to be like. All you have to do is just reply to the following message!

"select one of the following and i'll tell you whats your husband/wife will be like:

1- leather jacket

2- blue sweater

3- black shoes

4- red rose" and so on…

And I don't even know you, but still you have to tell me what you think about me.

"what was my first impression when you saw me

innocent, smart, naughty, sweet, rude, cute, beautiful? Reply is must"

And last but not the least, the black mailing ones!

"mai is waqt hospital mai hun aur mujhe paison ki shadeed zarurat hai. meharbani farma kar is number per 100rs ka credit send ker dain Allah apko iska ajar zarur de ga"

All of the above messages fall in the category of the most easiest and efficient way of irritating someone to death, especially the good morning and goodnight messages. The point is that there is no point at all in sending these messages. Why do you waste your money on this?! Why do you waste your time?! And above all why do you waste MY time?! Please let me and my 6300 stay in peace!
