Generally I am all for technology, but in some cases people misuse to the point of absurdity. Take SMS for example. I get all sorts of nonsense wishes on my cell phone, here are various samples that I have got over the past few months
- Happy New Year ( Well this is not too bad, apart form the awful text art some folks seem hell bent on making)
- Happy Republic day !!? ( really ??? when was the last time you wished somebody in person for this ?)
- Happy Men’s day ( Please, never ever wish a man on “Men’s” day, if at all there is such a day. I beg of you, please don’t)
- Happy Bandh !!! ( this was when there was a call for a one day Bandh in Karnataka following the fights between CM and the Governor)
- Best wishes for “XYZ”-festival ( Might be useful to check at least if this is a festival that I am even aware of, let alone celebrate !!)
- Motivational messages – (I do read a considerable amount of books, so chances that you will tell me something original is slim. Why not avoid it altogether ? )
I really need to update my phone to something that can bulk-delete. My old-fashioned phone is killing me :-(

A straight-forward approach of dealing SMS format of writing. Could relate to each of the sentences you have mentioned. Delightful and fresh piece of thought. Nice one Sir.
Happy bandh was a good one........did you actually get it?
