Two weeks ago I was peacefully watching TV when the phone rang. It was a 1-800 number. Usually I do not pick marketing calls. That day I was indulgent. I took the call.
"Hello", I said in a deep, booming voice trying to scare the other person away.
A female voice spoke back to me in a high pitch, "Hello, may I speak with...."
There was a long pause...she was trying to pronounce my name.
After 10 seconds she came back, "Hello, may I speak with Mahavas?" I told her that was not the way to pronounce my name. Over the next couple of minutes she tried every possible combination she could think of. Every time I said no. I was beginning to enjoy this. Finally I told her to call me back when she got it right.
