Missed call

Tring.

I got a missed call yesterday in the bus from my friend. I wasn't sure what it meant to me. Was it that I had to call him back, or he just rang my number by mistake - how should I make out? I just ignored.

Tring.

Again a missed call a few minutes later by him. I was confused. Now, does that mean that I need to call him back? If that was the case, why can't he call me up if he wanted to talk to me? Or lest, he could have just messaged me saying I need to call him back telling any reason (low currency, may be?). I again ignored.

I don’t know, I get irritated when I get such missed calls. If the missed call is predefined, like - "Give me a missed call when you start/reach", this sounds fine. Or, if I'm held up with other things & so couldn't take the call, or I haven't heard the cell buzz and there’s a missed call, this is also acceptable, and I call back them immediately once I check. Or, if the missed call is from the predefined group of missed call givers, like Dad, who has life time validity & so never bothers to recharge - I call them back. But when everything is right, and I get a missed call - weird!

Anyone there with me..?
