" SECURITY" POWER CUT

         There is no powersupply- I am on batteries of my netbook. Yesterday around 10am the power was switched off it looks. I left for trivandrum around noon and came back by past 2100hrs. And throughout the night the power line was off – not only in my house in the whole area.

The rains have lashed this area yesterday and surprisingly there was no rain in trivandrum city just 10kms away.

PETITE LILY BADLY MAULED

         My petite lily is in the workshop. She landed up on a boulder that had hit exactly the petrol tank. I tried to drive her off and may be that caused more damage. Ultimately I had to jack her up where she was release the rock and drive her out when I noticed the tank leaking.

        The service people promptly came and said she will have to be towed to the work shop. Their towing vehicle was in tamilnadu and I will have to hire one. I was even otherwise sorry for the poor girl – she never got towed and was always on her own steam. So I suggested why not connect her to a small tank – a bottle of petrol and that way she was driven to the work shop.

           the whole episode was on 20111020. The spare tank was to have come from quilon by yesterday. But it did not. How come ? simple – the gestapi has put himself on the job and there is no point my trying to expedite.

INFOTECH INDIAN EDITION

          I got a copy of the fiirst bill from the telephone company – I got one print out from the cto tvm. The copy that was to be sent to me by post never reached me. Reason – obvious from the address given on the bill.

               This must be the address provided by the intelligentsia of the nedumangad bsnl – remember initially they claimed that the letter for shift has never reached them that was till I brought the cat out of the bag.

Procurer calling

And here is a procurer calling me desperately on the phone in the dead of the night 0220am indian standard time to be precise. Around five times 

– you can get the record from the incoming calls list that is incase the data again has not been wiped out from the data base. i did not bother even to see who is calling and did not switch on the light; just lifted the handset and kept it back immediately - the call gets recorded and is cut off within seconds; the ring came again and ditto happened I remember how many times and then I went back to sleep.

Thank you very much

now I am trying to see if I could connect to the net with whatever is the charge I have got in my UPS
PS. all went well till i started uploading the pictures. then the adsl led switched off and then i also cut off the linne and redialed. i feel it should be reaching the internet!

“ bhakshanam kazhicho ? “ 
have you had food ?

That is one of the most frequent questions people who meet me ask now a days! 
 

Why this sudden interest in my welfare ?

It is not the interest in my welfare dummy;

they are following orders - orders from the indian pimp service. 
 

        The tricks are not working and the pimps have to save their face some how or other and cannot afford to fall in the eyes of their admirers mainly members of the SFF (sexually frustrated females ). so they are turning into “welfare” officers – “udaranimitham bahukrita vesham”

        But i have not forgotten the days when I did not have any cooking facility and had to walk out of the joints I used to have food as the indian pimp had ordered the staff not to serve me.

 on the

BSNL BULLOCK CART

        It could be that the modus operandi of the indian pimp has changed regarding my internet connection tampering. It could be that I am allowed to log in directly into the server rather than through the pimp's proxy server and once I log in the line is taken over and the pimp's system is interposed in between me and the server.

         could that explain the adsl LED getting switched off and even then the dialer showing me connected and then the adsl led blinking and the connection getting going again as if nothing had happened – just a novice's guess work; you dont have to take it seriously. but is that a possibility ?

then let me assure you;

any thing is possible over here in this country

* * * *

ps. just now i am connected to the net without using the splitter - are you getting the point ? i cannot use the phone right now for the whole line is jacked into the modem. and interestingly there has been no disruption - the type i mentioned above. what is the row ?

SOMNOLENCE POST-PRANDIAL

           now a days i get up rather early; there is a reason - my semi starvation diet.

               i take a breakfast bread and eggs  mostly and drag on till the evening. and it is when i feel terribly hungry that i cook my main meal of the day. - i hate cooking . this rather heavy meal ( yesterday it was boiled tapioca and a mackerel - rather a big one ) on an empty stomach eaten with the greed of a violently hungry person makes me feel real sleepy and once i get into the room, where i have nothing else to sit on except my bed,  the next thing that happens is that i am fast asleep. try however hard i may i will not be able to keep awake and many a time a wake up early in the morrning with the door open and all the lights on - not a very safe thing to do.

        so now a days immediately i get inside the room - i cook my meal in the varandah - i lock the door and switch off the lights. the end result is that i wake up early.

         but waking up early does not help in any positive way for there is the wiring work for the transformer - yes, the transformer is going to be installed soon - and  so these days the electric power is off on that pretext throughout the whole day. so no way of doing any positive work and the sweltering heat of the day time makes you drowsy. i do not even have a fan.

ECONOMY MEASURES

                yesterday i made a trip to thiruvananthapuram and i used public transport - gas is almost INR70 per ltr and i will use up  two ltrs for a trip to the city  and back -  in the first half km of the way from my house to the bus stop one would use  4 wheel drive if that was available -  and was trying to  economize. i walked the mud path covered with boulders to the local bus stop.

              as i was waiting in an isolated corner,  at the other side of the junction an informer of the indian gestapo was describing me to an old woman who probably was seeing me for the first time and educating her on the gestapo gesture -  but she will have  a problem showing the gesture for she uses purdah. 
             then another person came to me to gather information about where i am going and i lied to him on purpose. 

          (  A FEW DAYS BACK  a couple of school children, there were three of them , waved my car down and asked for a lift to their school about two three kms away. as i was trying to let them in a "gentleman" of the locality started bullying them and was commanding them to go walking. the youngsters  ignored the chap and i also did and let the boys in. enroute i asked them if the fellow was a policeman -  there was no point for they wouldnt know ; to them all policemen are supposed to be in uniform.

             i collect water from a distant neighbour's well - luckily they have not said no to me till date though i am really worried about being told so. there is a youngster in that house very fond of my bike an enfield bullet on which i carry the water - how do i carry the water on the bike ? some one asked me . interested ? please look up my web albums with picasa. he used to play with the bike while i was drawing the water from the well and a few days back the men from a neighbouring house were trying to scare him away from me. rightly so i feel.  - I AM A WILD ANIMAL  )       

        soon the bus which had gone to mula mukku it is not amminja but bamboo, mulla   came back  and i made a comfortable trip to the city - got down at statue - by then i was terribly hungry and had a cup of coffee and a banana fry at the coffee house - brought some dough from spencer to make dosa and took a carry bag as well for i was planning to buy fish - at athe fish market instead of paying one hundred rupees and getting eight mackerels purchased three for forty rupees.

         walked to kaithamukku and looked up  the sintex water tanks - got some very useful information from there; it was a company run outlet. 
          been to a computer shop where i purchased some cases 20 x 1 x 3 cd books for most of my cds are lying helter skelter and walked over to teh east fort in time to catch a bus that goes directly to my place - lucky me

          to cut a long story short i made my purchases and came back and made the trip on just 22 rupees by public transport. i do enjoy driving my little lily but spending at least INR 150 on petrol  is some thing i can ill afford and taht is why i chose to travel by public transport putting up with all sorts of inconveniences - i like the walking part of it but detest the bus ride.

BUT WHERE IS THE POINT !

            the above is all to put in proper context what happened day before  yesterday - that is on friday. i the miser drove all the way to the military camp in thiruvananthapuram in vain. the indian pimp service saw to it through a very carefully executed "security" operation.
            i mentioned the sweltering heat over here. i do not have a fan and one badly needs one over here - actullay i have two table fans brought in the mid eightees and ninetees obviously not in very good shape and i had taken them to the repairer  and the repair charges were a bit too high and i thought it was not worth spending so much on thos old specimens and had taken it back home.  what i was planning was to buy a pedestal fan so that i can use it here and once i complete the house it can be useful there as well for i do not intend to use ceiling fans.

          so i made enquiries, on the phone mark you, and found that one of teh army canteens which i used to frequent in the olden days had pedestal fans available.  there i could get a fan at a lower rate than in the open market.  as an ex-service man i am eligible to purchase goods from the shops run by the canteen stores dept.

        but  when i reached the station canteen at pangode at 1400hrs after driving all the way for this sole purpose alone for it was going to be extremely inconvenient if not impossible carrying the pedastal  fan in a crowded transport bus  the shop was not open though the afternoon session was from 1400 hrs onwards. 

           the grape vine had it that they will open at 1430 and i decided to wait. but even well past 1430 there was no sign of any activity and gradually i realised that waiting there was going to be futile. the members of the indian pimp service were already there ( i had made the enquiries on the phone ) and their  prostitute birds were making a racket on the trees near by. 

          i have not used up even a small fraction of the  goods i am allowed to buy from the csd. so once the fan is there there is no way the staff can say no to me. so it was very likely that the canteen will not open as long as i am outside there waiting. and even if i get in at a later stage i could find that all the stock is finished

         so i gave up the idea of purchasing a fan from the csd,  called it a day and drove back home  empty handed - thank you mr.pimp

            as i was driving past the gates two tamilian women who were carrying their purchases - made in the morning session - waved and i gave them a lift to teh railway station and that was all the good that  happened that day by my driving fifteen kms to the military camp from my home and back.       
                          

the bsnl

BULLOCK CART 

                  i was typing this matter on line direct on to the blog.  the situation now a days is that even  if the ADSL LED is gone the dialer will not kick in and i wouldnt know anything except for the fact there is no transaction of data one way or the other. then the adsl led starts blinking and is restored and the BSNL  bullock cart starts moving again at the snail pace. 
              could be this is the latest strategy after i made a compalint about the ADSL led of the modem getting switched off and the connection being disrupted and may be in this mode the disruptions will not be recorded at the self care portal.
               a bull that is "ocked" and deprived of its virility is called a bullock. who ocks the bull ?  no questions asked - it is all in the interests of "security" of the nation.
