BSNL : connecting indian idiots

Well we all kno the BSNL tagline. They conect India. But God knows how pathetically they do it. I mean cmon, the main reson i'm ritin this is bcos is i hate their braodband speeds. Consider this i subscribed to 2 MBPS speeds hopin for atleast 150 KBPS  and above and they had a scheme tht 2AM-8AM free download withiut limits. During my first month of subscription i never managed to get up in the time for the free download but consistently hit 150KBPS.

 And then i tested my nitetime speed ... Horrific really. Speed was around 12-16 KBPS. Max probably around 30. I mean i pay 600 every month for this krap? And i'm gettin only started. Their call centre is horrible. One person i knew, when he called up he was aked which OS he was using. The guy said Linux. The call center person said " we dont handle such things " and hung up the phone!!!!!
                                   Hu call this service. And then comes their cell phone service. The voice clarity is krap and half the time wen u wanna kall sum1 urgently... the msg pops up "network busy"

 I mean wat the FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! i;M SO PISSED UP ABOUT THIS THAT I'M USING EXPLETIVES ON MA BLOG. Lets hope they prop up the best thing they  provided, their BROADBAND service and help deprieved souls like me to xperience the satisfaction of fast download

 I MEAN AT THE END OF THE DAY IT IS "BROAD BAND"

job mania sweeps san thomites

As you read this post .. san thomites(2008-09) are in quest all over trivandrum seeking the holy grail of all fruitful summer vacations. A good sum mer job.Well  wat is the reason for this sudden inspiration among a tribe that used to shun work.The most primary reason is that let's face it, we're bored  at home. I mean really, it's gettin a bit of drag at home. So a bit of timepass n gettin paid for it doesnt hurt. Seondly bit of work never hurt any1 especially after wat 3 months of idle time. But who started this.  For me the most likely culprit is Ansar, the fact that he's gettin paid 6000 a month caused a bit of sensation. The next n most startling  bit of news was that even lekshmi is employed as KK's secretary. This was the last straw and sent the guys running. And so it started. Guys putting themselves up at naukri, guys walking into BATA, Reliance fresh, and ppl runnin helter skelter. I must admit i was one among these. For me a job ensured stream of money.. enough to ensure some fancy food from thattukada n a 3 movies at the theatres.. So thts wat drove me. I'm pleased to know that i've managed to get a job at hrithwyk's  dad's office. Najeeb uncle was gracious enough to offer me and adi jobs at his place. So lets see how it goes. Hope i do well. Will post more if it goes well 

A journey ends and another beckons

This is the post through which i'm admitting to myself that a part of my journey through life is done and dusted with.How do i feel at the end of all this? Well thats something i cant say myself. As i try to recollect memories from the last 14 years moments flash by. My mum walking me upto my first school. My first plane ride taking mum and me to dad and a foreign land. My thrill at having an air conditioned school bus. My first school in jeddah(Saudi Arabia). Me getting spanked on the buttocks in my first day at school(was in UKG). And then my rest of my years at jeddah are pretty much a blur punctuated by moments of ectasy, and the inevitable moments of sadness. The best memories are probably going my first outdoor excursion to beach with my class during 6 grade. The most embarassing would be my dhoti slipping off while doin bhangra in my 2 grade. But the emotional ties i developed over there are quite strong and never fail bringing tears to my eyes. On to St. Thomas in trivandrum amd an uncertain future. This school gave me quite a bit of firsts. First co-ed school. I was shocked out of my wits when i first saw so many girls in my class. First crush, though that failed horribly. First inter school festival. It was fun studying in india. I was quite thrilled when i found that i was pretty good at public speaking. I'm indebted to St. Thomas for that. Ended up with quite a few extempore prizes and best debator 2 years running. Then came the time for the all important boards. Well honestly i screwed up a bit in my pre board exams. I guess my low point was when i screwed up phoenomenonly in my second pre board flunkin for math and physics with record low marks. Anyways moved on and managed to scape through with a respectable 80%. Then came entrance time, and the biggest bombshell in my life. Got 17553 as my entrance rank how i managed to get such disasterous rank is beyond comprehension and history anyway. So as i look back on a an eventful 14 years bittersweet memories come... sweet are obvious to every1 reading but the bitterness jus that i could have probably signed off a wonder ful skool life with a more respectable rank. Anyways all's well that ends well.   

Back to blogging and how

Well i'm back blogging after a hiatus( and a long hiatus it has been) now, i have always wanted to blog and my blogging standard has always been my good friend vivek kuruvilla(search for him on orkut) .I know in no way am i ever gonna be in his league of bloggin but no harm tryin. Well where do i start. Since my last post in 2006 live's gone quite haywire. NOw Im stuck here wondering where with an engineering rank of 17553 i'll get an admission into?Anyways most of my friends seem to have marked their 18 birhday with much gusto and celebrated it by running off to driving classed. Me still has to wait till august for me moment of glory. So how am i planning to celebrate my big moment Hmmm... tough one.. dont know really.Presently just stuck at home wondering what to make of life. I just hope the friends the so called 'best' friends ,those who all swore unwaveing friendship just a month ago dont forget my name by the end of this month. Seeing most of my 'best' pals went off on a little excursion to the mueseum and didnt even think of calling me. So these things make you wonder. Anyway enough of my tantrums, here's hoping everyone gets admission somewhere, france wins the euro and that sharukh khan gets an oscar!!!!!!!!!
