INSIDE GITMO
i got up today at past 1300hrs - well, i went to bed at 0600hrs only for i was busy editing a movie i have made on what was going on on my home telephone connection.
both the main boards of my xp desktop has been compromised - in both cases the problem is that the video display is not coming up even though the processor is revving into action. so i am left with my atom processor jyoPda and movie editing and all are taking time. The result - I could not go to bed till 0600hrs for only then I finished the editing and uploaded the video to the youTube.
i am not very happy with the movie - it is rather haphazard. the voice record was as it was when i made it for i needed the sounds recorded to prove my point and could not add any comments afresh for that could wipe out the original sound track or at least mask it. but i think the movie proves a point and reveals a very interesting phenomenon.
on the morning of 201101009 ( that is last sunday - the movie mentions the date as 10 jan 2011 which is wrong - but that hardly makes a difference to the essence of the movie and so i am not going to correct it in the movie for it is not worth the trouble ) my home telephone +94(484) 2682505 was working for all external appearances but you cannot call anybody outside or receive a call; interesting?
it is the usual thing with my telephone connection - the tampering from within the system. but this time i feel i have succeeded in making it real obvious.
You lift the handset of +91 (484) 2682505 you will get the dial tone and every thing looks ticky ticky boo boo; but if you want to talk to someone and dial the number you will get a funny sound and no call to any number was being connected. This included my usb internet device which when connected to the puter can be used to make and receive calls. All the response you get is a peculiar sound for all numbers whether it is the help line of the local bsnl broadband 12678 or the telephone number enquiry 197 or the number of the local Nib or even my usb modem.
now the other aspect - you dial my land line telephone +91 (484) 2682505 from any other telephone the call will not mature. I tried from my usb internet connecting device to dial my landline number +91 (484) 2682505 again the response was the very same funny noise.a novel feature that got recorded was that as the noise supposed to be emanating from my landline phone in response to a call from my usb device was ON, i lifted the hand set of the landline phone and it was giving the dial tone - evident in the movie;
FANTASTIC !
The aftermath
Well; I did not bother to register a complaint – that would have been ridiculous, making a complaint to the same setup that is doing the tampering – and left it at it. In spite of that and as expected by me every thing had returned back to normal later in the night; even the internet connection which had stopped working earlier – the adsl light was on and that means the physical connection was ok – did start working.
The basic crux of the problem is that the primary function of the telecommunication system in this so called largest democracy in the world is to act as the sub-contractors of the indian pimp service and every thing else is secondary to this primary function.
It is not only the telecom services; even the electric power supply can be cut off just like that and it has happened many a time – “intelligence” information!
The only way out is to hit at the root cause of the phenomenon – that is the members of the pimp service. Put them on leash. Make something like gitmo in the lakshadweeps or the andamans and let them loose there like the ferocious dogs let loose in prison islands which you read in crime thrillers - they have no place in civilized society.
I will be trying to get an answer to this question from the apex court of this country in the very near future.
PS. right now the indian pimp or could be his catamite is on line and is manipulating this page. all the aesthetically pleasing formats i have applied are being changed into a pimpish script - the fellow has to earn his salary or at least make a pretext that he or she is doing so! what a bloody effing disgrace "officer" police!
NB. now a days i use the phone only to make calls - at other times it is off hook.
by the way when you take the telephone off hook you better remove the mouth piece for otherwise it can be used to monitor the sounds in the room and the indian pimp will start counting the strokes - pull out the clip from the mouth piece and that will do the trick. and do NOT use a phone with a hands off facility, that is one with a mic.
incidentally a couple of days back i had just made a call and carelessly replaced the hand set - that is i did not keep it off hook as is my usual wont now a days. immediately a ring came and i attended. a "chetathi" was on line and rather than respond to her gibbering i replaced the hand set and then again took it off the hook - good riddance to bad rubbish.
my sane ( syn. sober) advice - try yP

kitna romance hai;
bahar ki Chokkarree,
kitna ad-vance haai !"

and my efforts are paying off - the format changes i made, that is the major ones at least, from this win98 system are holding. you see the pimp does not have as much freedom on the good old win98 as she has on the winxp -thank goodness!
i am running a temperature; now a days i wake up in the morning or in the afternoon whichever way it is with both my nostrils clogged and till it gets cleared i have to perforce breath through my mouth. there is severe bodyache - breakbones? i dont dare take aspirin my favourite drug now a days - i am afraid i already had an attack of dengue. i hate paracetamol - still i am having small small doses of calpol syrup which i find tolerable and it looks it is working.
and the funniest of all things i have to catch a train to trivndrum which leaves ernakulam at 0550 hrs. that means i have to start from here with petite lily at at least 0450 hrs - there are no bus services here from 2000 to 0600 or so!
i have mentioned earlier of my locker key of the godrej storewell getting stuck. now it is another godrej lock that has gone on strike - the one with which i lock the gate of the compound. luckily when it stuck work it was open. just imagine when i reach the gate at 0450hrs the lock refusing to budge and me getting stuck! "parameswar" may ne kya galthi kiya?
