A Dial up Saga !
Tuesday, September 04, 2007
I was hurriedly walking past the main road that leads to the telecom customer care center at my place. A walk impelled by an agenda as I carefully placed each steps! Phew, this might sound grave but on the contrary, this was an unornamented thought to ease of from a carked internet connection involving dial up. Willy-nilly, these dutiful responsibilities were taken up by me being on a vacation.
As I was walking towards with the aim in getting a broadband connection, I vividly recollected the pain in getting connected to cyberspace. As I was churning out all these, I barely recognized the familiar faces on opposite sides. In one word, the dial up way of getting connected proved futile as it really judged my patience. The intricacies of the telephone network spanning here attributed to be the root cause of all anomalies. I had to wait for hours altogether to get a connection, to see the familiar blogger window as to upload chunks of my harmless imaginations.
And there lies the known trouble of slow connectivity, making me doze off while waiting for the sites to show their beauty. Each passing minute, each progress in the taskbar gave hopes which are nipped by a premature termination owing to silly reasons. Those endeavors wore me out as nights passed with me stressed up to keep the ‘fire’ alive. Well, enough reasons to substantiate as I reached my destination.
Stunned on seeing the closed door, I slowly walked up to read the graffiti posted on the door. A small paper read out holiday in black bold letters. I stared again as my mind went blank and I retraced my steps with slowly building anger.
