struggling with broad band

Quite incidental that the same mistake took three nights of efforts and hours of frustrations to rectify. In bsnl dataone once you change the password you need to apply and save all at two different pages. I forgot to save all and sweated out to find the same.

It was not the best of times to start a adventure with broom in hand before the sun rose and made his presence felt. Everyone was ready and we postponed breakfast to some place enroute on kanakapura road. Then we picked up my brother's family and moved on. It was a packed house for about 5 km but then kanakapura road opened up and offered its corners and lakes and we feasted on the early morning wind. we crossed kanakapura and had breakfast under a huge tree with muskan sitting on top of swift, it was a ideal locale and model for mayank's SLR to f...

catching infy bus at 7 in morning

the time to wake up was 5:30 AM todaythe time time to catch office bus was 7:00 AM todayI reached RBI layout wondering I was late and infact gave up hope when I reached bus stop around 7 then I started the painful wait for 215x becasue just yesterday I waited for her for 40 minutes and hung on to dear life on single feet with one hand holding tiffin and other the BMTC rod of support with shoes and jeans getting colored in muddy red I somehow reached 15th cross and searched for people with infy tag but surprising enough a bus dwindled in and was trying a U when I attempted to get in the driver queried "where to" infy and I said yes I thought there would only be few species getting in but the bus was full of being within a few stops with people settling in with their morning nap,radio stationor eyes dug into reading material only a few talked and there were fewer laughters.
