20110529 : It is a sunday and the time now is five minutes to 2100 hrs IST.
My telephone is dead since morning – there is no dial tone. when you dial from outside you can hear the phone +91 484 2682505 ringing but it obviously is not ringing over here.
I went to the telephone exchange close by and have recorded a complaint in the book over there but the complaint has not been entertained yet. I had been to the market of kzh and there some one kindly obliged and registered a complaint from their bsnl land line phone – the docket no. is Z 209.
I was in trivandrum on 27- 28. had a nice journey for I could sleep comfortably till the late hours of the morning and that in spite of the complete disorder in the compartment – luckily no one usurped my berth.
If you are travelling by the late night trains like the malabar express or the chennai express from ernakulam to trivandrum you do not require a ticket. Just get into a sleeper compartment and occupy a berth – my experience is that the conductor never bothers to check up who has got in.
I stayed over night in a hotel and reached back only in the early morning hours of 20110529.
kind courtesy the help of some one who arranged for a couple of workers I could get a sort of roof put over my temporary shed. We do not have any electric power at the location as yet and so the roof had been fixed by sort of tricks. But I think it will work for the time being and we can fix it permanently later on. And I do have plans to build an appendage, a varandah of sorts in the front with some tin sheet forming the roof – but that also will have to wait till electricity is available for the frame work has to be welded in place before the tin sheet forming the roof can be put up. All the same, I am planning to move in at the earliest.
I have packed up my things but I have got to arrange a truck to carry it to tvm and I am on the job. So all is set for me to get out of the vala.
So during the remaining couple of days the indian pimp service and their local subcontractors will for sure make a desperate attempt to put up a show of some sort as a face saving exercise, like say for example, letting loose a couple of the local goons on me who will stage a break-in on some pretext or other. I, in deed, had a biped gorilla trailing me while I had gone to the local market today – it is in reality these gorillas that “make you say all” to the “officer” police and this is not the first time that such a show has been arranged for me – I have seen it all time and again. The gorilla's keeper a destitute old man also appeared later on the scene.
Well; I will try to cross the bridge when I come to it. And now I am planning to make a list of the things the are to be transported in the truck .
and so i am here in the hotel room in thiruvnanthappuram at it again!
PS. it is 1835gmt of 20110603 and i am sitting in a bed in my hotel room in thiruvananthapuram. on the day i wrote this i was still in the vala at kzh. and i was using my wireless connection and later on got disconnected, this time for a genuine reason - my prepaid money had been exhausted.
i tried to connect to the net last night in thiruvananthapuram after i had recharged with 200inr; but my username/password were being rejected.
today i had been to the reliance outlet to complain and there the very same username and password were being accepted.
