The Digital Mosquitos

Last Friday, I was returning to his office after finishing my matters in Delhi High Court. I felt relieved as the case I had been working on for months had finally come to an end. 

As I was walking towards his office, he noticed a crowd of my friends standing in front of a TV screen, watching the news. Curious, I went over to see what was going on.

As I approached, I saw that everyone was talking about Rahul Gandhi, who had apparently been removed from his position as a member of parliament. I was surprised to hear this news, as I had not been following politics closely. 

However, before I could join in the conversation, I was interrupted by a young lady who introduced herself as a social reformer. She claimed to be working for the welfare of blind people and was asking for donations.

I wasn't interested in donating at first, but the young lady was persistent, and I eventually gave in and donated a small amount through PAYTM. I forgot about the incident soon after and continued with my work at the office.

However, my peace was soon disrupted as I began receiving several unsolicited calls and messages from unknown people asking for donations.

I would receive at least 5-6 such calls daily, and they would disturb me even during my arguments in court. The constant ringing of my phone felt like the buzzing of mosquitoes, and I found it difficult to concentrate on my work.

I soon realized that the social reformer I had donated to had likely given my phone number to other organizations or individuals looking for donations.

I felt frustrated and annoyed that my privacy had been violated in this way. I tried to block the numbers, but new ones kept appearing, and I couldn't seem to get rid of them.

As the days went by, I became increasingly irritated by the constant calls and messages. I found it hard to focus on my work and began to feel like I was being harassed.

 I tried to take legal action against the organizations that were contacting me, but it proved to be a difficult and time-consuming process.

Finally, I researched ways to prevent unsolicited calls and messages and came across a few helpful tips. 

I also installed a call blocker app on my phone, which allowed me to block specific numbers and even entire area codes. These helped to reduce the number of unwanted calls I received.

With these measures in place, I was finally able to get some peace and quiet. I no longer felt like I was being bombarded by digital mosquitoes, and I could focus on my work without any distractions.

Now I was at ease to have found a solution to my problem and vowed to be more careful in the future when donating to charitable organizations.
