Can you send a SMS without a valid mobile number?

We all send SMS from our mobile phones. Do you know how to send a SMS from your mobile phone so that the receivers cannot call you back?

Do you think it is not possible?

Ask AIRTEL and they will tell you a way.

Yesterday, I received a SPAM SMS from mobile number reading 91880024852. Like so many fraudulent messages, this also informed that my mobile number won 3.6 crore rupees and also a Chevrolet car asking me to furnish my name, address, mobile number etc to the email id chevroletpr@live.com  I tried to call the message sender only to hear a message that the number is invalid.

So, even without knowing my mobile number, they sent a SMS and asking me to provide by mobile number.

My mobile phone connection is from Airtel. I am sure thousands of people in India would be receiving such emails regularly. There are no laws to catch and punish them.

The only way I see to stop such nonsense is to punish the mobile phone service providers who gleefully allow the fraudsters to use their services.

World’s most beautiful silver coins.



Occasionally, I go against the wave. The recent slump in gold price was an occasion. When everybody invested their savings on gold hoping to make a quick profit, I bought some silver eagles

I have been reading a couple of highly trusted precious metal investment newsletters. Majority of the authors maintained that silver price is expected to go up to unexpected proportions.

I trusted my instinct and garnered up several American Silver Eagles. Look at this stunning silver coin minted in 2013.
On one side of the coin, it is the walking liberty and on the reverse, the familiar American eagle. It is 99.9% pure and weighs 31.10 grams

It is a coin collectors’ pride.

Do you have dental fears?



I think it is almost without exception that dental fear is common to all. I am terrified to seek an appointment with a dentist. We can even be prepared for a skull surgery but we would certainly back out at the mere mention of tooth extraction or root canal treatment.

The pain associated with any type of dental problems would create fear instantly. It is no wonder statistics reveal that dentists are the most feared out of any type of doctors. 

Cause of Dental Fear
Why dental fear is so prevalent? After all, the pain associated with it won’t last more than day when compared to any other forms of surgery.
             Previous terrible experience with a dentist.
             Fear of being embarrassed or ridiculed for your dental condition. This is quite problematic since your own fear is also the reason for your dental neglect in the first place.
             Fear of the anesthesia shots and needles registered by the dentist before proceeding to any dental procedure.

Overcome dental fear
I learnt to overcome dental fears by visualizing a pain relieved night after dental appointment. The fee minutes would pass on and surely, we can see 9 PM in my watch and by then, all would be over.
