Breaking the Silence

September 14, 2008 

What has kept me away for so long from this space if you ask, I’ve no convincing answer. I wanted to do a third part to the “Moving Cities” series followed by a concluding one. If it hasn’t happened in a month, I realized it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon giving me enough reason to just forget perfection for a while and get on with daily blogging. Yes, the damn elusive perfection.

So, here I am typing away furiously on a dark editor close to midnight with a Internet speed of 31.2 Kbps. I’m feeling lucky as most times of the day it is at 19.2 Kbps giving me enough time to type a URL, go cook LG’s lunch and be back by the time the page half loads. BSNL dial-up has made multi-tasking much simpler without the temptation of hanging onto the laptop for extended periods of time. Broadband is happening soon or so I’m told by BSNL. If you need contact numbers of BSNL personnel in Bangalore, don’t hesitate to e-mail me. I have their internal directory with all the numbers listed area-wise (no kidding!) - thanks to a service called 1500 that I call daily. And, please let’s not get started on other service providers - I’d rather not let this blog turn into a grievance or broadband provider-bashing forum.

In other news, the move to Bangalore has provided new writing opportunities. I’ve probably done more work in the past two weeks than I have in the past two years. Keeps the mind busy with a daily industry news project. One more travel piece on “The Magnificent Mile” in a magazine due next month.

Enough to break ice and get started again. Thanks to all of you who have e-mailed asking if all was well following my blogging absence. Back in action now.

    Hi LV:

    With reference to the BSNL directory, I am facing major issues with BSNL in CV Raman Nagar (near Indiranagar, HAL Airport Road, Old Madras Road); may I request you to please send me a list of the senior guys for the area?

    Regards,

    Sandesh

    Sandesh,

    Sorry for the delay in replying. Is this for broadband? You could call 1500 or 18004242600 and first find out which exchange yours would come under - Indira Nagar or Vimanapura? Get the JE’s number from there.
