I never knew that I had become so addicted to the Internet! Spending a week without it was a torture...I almost went into depression.
The nightmare started two weeks ago. I was not able to access my mail account. When I checked I found that the connection was suddenly off, and I could not reconnect how much ever I tried. The error seemed to be there forever: Phone line is busy. What the heck! This is supposed to be a broadband connection. Checked up all the ports, went through whatever could be done at the control panel... Nothing helped. Finally got all fired up and asked mom to call the BSNL office. ( Guess we are at war with them! There were some problems earlier as well. ) And finally, today I get it back! It's an exhilarating feeling - to get it back when you thought you would never get it any time soon. Thank God!
Killing time was not a big deal. We had our lab exams this week. So it was a blessing in disguise. But then, I missed the whole Olympics story.. I couldn't access the net when it mattered the most - one gold and two bronze medals for India, for the first time in the history! How I longed to read about it.! I am not going to forgive the BSNL anytime soon.
