For the past two weeks getting internet access has been harder than finding a virgin at an all girls catholic school. Though I have finally moved into my happy new office space (yey!) getting things to work has been a painful ordeal (boo!). During the same time I have been trying to get internet connected at my house. The thought of being able to work from home and avoiding the traffic enticing me to shell out the installation charge and deposit. However, 2 weeks, 3 phone calls, and 4 'different people coming to my house' later. I have yet to have working internet at home (or at the office).
Currently I don't know who to blame (because of course it is someone's fault). I'm torned between blaming karmic forces torn asunder by the monsoon or the fact that all of the good engineers have left India and all we are left with are the drags which did not seem good enough to get a job abroad. Either or it's the same. I still don't have reliable net access. But I keep getting promised that it will be up and running soon. Sigh!

To put things in perspective, it took my maternal grandparents 10 years to get a frickin phone line at home!! Anyone susprised that socialism died?
I have to say things have improved a LOT since then, but still not up to western standards.
I'm sure it's Bush's fault somehow. Most things are.
i find it ironic that you had better internet access in Kolkata than you do in Mumbai.
when you find yourself on the internets again, hit me up so we can finish our conversation.
