Finally Online!

Saturday, August 11th, 2007

Sorry people for being offline for more than 2 weeks. Actually my college has started and I had to leave for Manipal on 26th. I had applied for getting my private Airtel internet connection shifted to my new block. My college intervened and stopped Airtel from giving any connections in any hostel blocks. Actually they too have a horrible internet service (that’s also not free). You pay some 500/60 bucks only to find your p2p networks and orkut blocked. When am paying so much, i have the right to p2p networks. If college blocks explicit materials, it can be understood, but why orkut blocked? If the service was free, its easy to understand. Nobody can accept this form of censor on a paid service.

After a long discussion Airtel was allowed but this time they did not bring the discounted student special plan which makes Airtel a bit costly. I smell something wrong. Looks like Airtel was allowed to enter the blocks on the condition that they would keep their services costly. No matter how costly it may be, students first choice is always Airtel.

Between, yesterday Jumbo  was in full form. Hit his maiden century and today took 2 wickets before lunch, the England score now stands to 124/4. Come on Jumbo. U rock!
