The art of snoring...zzzzzzzz

I had taken a day off so that I can spend a long weekend with my parents in Mysore. The moment I stepped into the house, I received a call on my cell phone - call from my work place! It was not one of the admiring looks that I saw on my parents' face as I was answering the call.Then on, I decided to take zero official calls and only personal calls on my cell phone, that too, strictly on priority basis. To make things better, I put the cellphone in vibrate only mode so that even on receiving calls, the ringtone would not disturb my parents.

Since the call on Thursday night, my cell phone had been really quiet throughout the day of Friday , with all these precautionary measures.Everybody was happy with this abnormal quietness, though, I would secretly keep checking my cell phone, if it had got discharged or had stopped working:-)

On Friday night, I was enjoying a movie, dad was walking towards his room and suddenly came back to me.He had my cell phone in his hand.He handed it over to me and said "It was snoring !!"

It took me a moment to realise that I had received a message and so the cellphone had vibrated instead of beeping, due to my precautionary settings !!!! :-)
