Yes, I like sending messages. Mostly, I prefer sending text over whatsapp and facebook as they are extensively used platforms and all my friends & relatives are on it.

Have you ever received a confusing text message?

Yes, There was a time when I was befuddled by a text message. It’s interesting anecdote related to my trip to Kerala.

Initially, I get confused so I called the Indian railways helpline and found out that it was a technical glitch. Later they send me over the confirmed seat arrangement in another message.

In what circumstances is making a phone call better than sending a text messages?
