feedback on BSNL broadband services - part 2

{Update in the evening of the same day, with the hope that tired staff would be more than willing to give me their ear}
They have a nice music in backdrop, only when its ON there are birds chirping and flute taking you to distance. You can simply meditate on it and forget about why you dialed this number. I had chosen English and they were conveying ads in local language. They also promise that "You will be attended shortly". I desparately needed attention now. Thank heavens, its a tollfree number. Then the music stops. You are in suspended animation till the line drops and you are left drooling for attention. Even the engaged tone disengages itself and there is drop dead silence later.

{update from next day morning}
The jingle urging me to have wide range of entertaining and educating games for me and my family through bsnl gaming experience at bsnl.indiagames.com
I got through as it was early morning again and she asked me which website I went and what error I got? I was so sorry to forget the website and with shaking voice uttered the query "What is the website again, Ma'am?". She dragged the name "www.dataone.in". Again she asked what was coming and I said "Login failed". She put me hold and requested "actually -umm-dont leave the line" - luckily this time the flute was playing. It has been over five minutes now.It is nearing 10 mins and I am desparately hoping to hear her voice again.
I did and I am glad of the service I recieved. She walked me through all the necessary steps required for the changes and explained why the password was not going through?
There are two places where the password is needed. 
  • For your direct internet experience your Modem stores the password at Home-->Setup-->PVC0. This can be obtained from http://192.168.1.1, Once you have changed it there you can check your connection status at Status-->Connection Status and find the state connected. Dont change the username.
  • When you want to access the online portal at www.dataone.in --> administer your account. You use the same password and username as above. You can change the password here too but you need to update point 1 above.
I was scared to death at paying more than the said download/upload limits as my brother had warned me that he had to shell out over Rs 2K for over usage. I kept on searching for my plan and finally found the link at http://www.bsnl.co.in/service/dataone_tariff.htm. Heavens were in place because the limit was 2.5 GB and my usage was about 1.3 GB. I would have had to pay Rs240 if it was 1 GB. They charge 80 paise per MB over usage limits. 
I am satisfied lot with BSNL service even though the turn around time was around 24 hours. I am sure its a systemic problem as systems are overloaded. 
Gods do listen and BSNL too. Do you think so? Have Patience.

Success is exchange of energy

The definition of success is very elusive. It means different things in different phases of life to different people. When I was in school and college it was to pass somehow. When I was in 12th it was to get into engineering somehow. When I was in job it was to make more money anyhow. When you were in marriage it was to demand happiness and feel proud in pronouncing to yourself that every act of a frustrating job was for the sake of family and their well being. I was focusing on doing. I was focusing on achievement. So whenever I reflected back in life I always felt less. I could have been an IITian, I could not crack CAT. I could not join an organization during their early stock offer days. I could not go to US and earn in dollars. I simply missed doing too many things.  Now I feel lack of achievement. Now I feel lack of doing. Did I miss out on something while I was undergoing all this doing? Why was I nervous all this while? Why did one achievement led to other? Why...

तुम दीन नहीं हो - live ashtavakra commentary by Sri Sri Ravishankar ji

तुम वही हो. तुम सूर्य कि किरण नहीं, तुम उस किरण का विस्तार हो. तुम सूर्य हो.  जिस प्रकार सूर्ये अपनी किरणों को हर खिड़की के माध्यम से हर घर मैं भेजता है, उसी प्रकार परमात्मा अपनी पूर्णता को छोटी छोटी आत्मायों मैं भेजता है.  यह बात दूसरी है कि जब आत्मा अपने पुर मैं वास करने लगती है, अपने शरीर रुपी घर मैं रहने  लगती है तो भूल जाती है कि वह सिमित नहीं है, उसका विस्तार ही परमात्मा है.  लेकिन घर मैं घुसने के बाद आप कांच के टुकड़े मैं सूर्य का प्रतिबिम्ब देखते हो ओर अपने आप को सिर्फ एक किरण मात्र समझने लगते हो. जरा बाहर झाँक कर भी देखो, सूर्य का अनुभव तो करो. तुम्हारे आस पास भी वही सूर्य का अंश है. तुम्हारे पड़ोस मैं भी वही सूर्य कि किरण है, तुम्हारे गाँव मैं जो रिश्तेदार हैं वहां भी वही सूर्ये है. सूर्य कोई भेद भाव नहीं करता. तुम क्यूं ऊँच- नींच मैं पड़े हो.  तुम्हारे दुःख का कारण  क्या है. तुम गुरु से तो मिले हो. तुमने गुरु को साक्षात् किया है. लेकिन तुम संपूर्णतः यह निश्चय नहीं कर पाए हो कि येही सत्य है. पूरे भरोसे कि कमी होने से ही दुःख होता है....

second day at school

The stomach did pain again and bu now she had learnt the art of unbuckling the belt. Fortunately the pain came up just as her father was opening the door. The mother came rushing and wanted to help but the strict father wanted her child to master the art of releasing the belt and walk the distance towards potty on her own. The child did not disappoint and fulfilled the fathers desire in aplomb. to school. They went to the car together. Poor father carrying the bag full of books and the daughter carrying the empty bag as they were hopeful that something would come back in it from school. As they were moving out of their apartment complex the father eyes turned to the side and saw a lady with more than usual broad smile. He wanted to be the good man and stopped the car. He was sliding down the side window and almost opened his mouth then he heard " Are you going to school? ". " Ofcourse, I was with my daughter in the back seat. Where else could I be heading? " The fat...
