Monday morning blues? Where is everyone? Kishores net still retaining its 'Holy' status?
ReplyDeleteIf everyone is in Monday morning blues, no comments would be seen on your post as well. I am the exception, of course. ;-)
DeleteStill holy, but nothing getting thru. Working thru mobile phone. The bsnl guy came on saturday, fidded around unsuccessfully, said exchange would reset and legged it, switching off his mobile. Got to track him today.
ReplyDeleteNice byeline to roar, yell, shout, utter and scream the theme !
ReplyDeleteWhen my BSNL LL was dysfunctional (as opposed to malfunctioning), first I made a complaint by another phone, then I met the staff at the locality centre three or four times (meeting the Asst. Engr. twice) before the prob. was fixed.
ReplyDeleteThe only way to get BSNL problems fixed is by getting pally with the JE who deals with Broadband at the exchange and in case it is a line problem then keep the number of your friendly neighbourhood BSNL lineman handy. Go forbid if you try to sort it out through the call centre manned by our desi foreigners.
DeleteRunnung thru the same grind. Wondering if i should change sevice provider. btw, CV, your usage of decadent had me musing : is decadent a person with only ten teeth left in the mouth?
ReplyDeleteAll this time I thought one could count the teeth and tell the age of only a horse...
Delete7D In Pondicherry many streets are still called 'RUE' though it attained independence from France in 1954.
ReplyDeleteAnd in Tiruchi, we have a 'boulevard' though our municipal sign painters now can never spell it correctly!
DeleteAlso, 'Pondicherry' has now become 'Puducherry'.
ReplyDelete17Dn. 'Emergent' in the context of a nation means 'recently independent'. Mere 'independent' may not fit the bill. Will we still call India an emergent nation?
As we have become used to a high quality of care while setting from Neyartha, small points like this stick out like a sore thumb.
I have always wondered if it's spelt Puducherry or Puduchery.
Delete16 A - I solved as TELL. T for Y, not reverse. Which is correct.
ReplyDelete16a Mention time to make way for the Yankee with a hoot (4) YELL (TELL with Y for T)
DeleteThe surface reading is quite clear that T makes way for - goes away making room for Y (the Yankee).
So I would holler it's YELL.

ReplyDeleteChanging the serice provider may not really help.
When our desi LL was out of service last month the BroadcastArcherWilliam LL too went kaput. And the latter too took some four or five days to set it right.
In the beginning the latter was good with letters mailed to customers by snail mail etc but with thousands of connections now their junction boxes on the streets are deteriorating and so is the service.
From 3 pm my BroadcastArcherWilliam too is behaving erratically.
