It’s a hit… err… miss! Missed call, we mean. A six-country survey in Asia has found that only Indians have the unique ability to ‘make’ and ‘receive’ missed calls. Most cellenabled Indians know the missed call code, which means they can interpret what a missed call means at various times, and many important messages are communicated without ever answering the phone. No wonder they call us clairvoyant! The missing – oops – missed callers Many kinds of mobile users have contributed to getting the missed call international recognition. Here’s a big thank you to:

 THE FIRST TIMERS: These are students who’ve just gotten their first phone. Garima Dhillon, 17, got her first phone recently, when she got admission in DU. “I’m so excited, I don’t know what to do with it! So I give missed calls to friends and in return, they miss call me (missed callers’ slang for, well, missed calling),” says Garima. THE WAIT WATCHERS: Moms, wives, girlfriends – anyone who’s waiting for you to get somewhere safely and announce that with a – you’ve guessed it! – missed call. ‘Pahunch ke missed call de dena’ might have single-handedly got us the unique distinction of being the only miss-calling people. Dolly Khatri, mother of a Class X student, shares the secret of staying safe in Delhi – “I tell my son to give me a missed call when he reaches his tuition centre. When he does, I know he’s reached safe and sound.”

THE MUSIC LOVERS: These are the callers for whom caller tunes were made. They really, really like the song that plays when they call you, and due to a strange and inexplicable impediment, cannot hear it anywhere else but on your phone. Sachin Kumar, a regional manager with an MNC, complains, “I had to unsubscribe from my caller tune, because people would give me missed calls just to hear it. And if I answered the call, I’d get shouted at and told, ‘Abe phone kyun uthaya? Call lagwa di tuney!”
