Mr Raj Viresh

In order to finish my book on Natascha, I stayed up late on both Monday and Tuesday.
It literally means I was going to bed at nearly 2am.
So I was definitely not a happy camper when my mobile rang at 6am this morning!!!
"Hello, hello, Mr Viresh?!?!" accented heavily by an Indian voice. I was so drowsy but I managed to retort "WRONG NUMBER" before I hung up the phone. Less than a minute later, the phone rang again! WTF! I picked up ad was ready to set off my tirade before the other party hung up. WTF again!?!?!
It's common for people to ring the wrong number but this is happening too often! I have been receiving calls for Raj on my phone lately. WHY? Because Mr Raj Viresh (as I found out this morning) had mobile number: 83399XXX whereas my number starts with 983399XX. We have literally the same numbers except that his started with 8. People are so used to pressing 9 to start for mobile numbers that my phone would ring the moment they hit the 7th number for Mr Raj.
There was a caller who rang me 3 times even after i told him that he had the wrong number! He still managed to sound indignant and ask,"Raj not there meh??" He then said isn't this 83399XX??
One day, if I ever found out the last digit of the mobile number for Mr Raj, I might just call him......
