A “STRAINED” BACK
have you ever been diagnosed – strain back ? Well; I am aware of the terminology, but I never knew how it felt; that is till last friday. now I know, for I think I have strained my back.
The ache is dull but movement makes it sharp. All the treatment that i can have is naturopathy and my own resourcefulness – I have decided that I need rest my back and make as little movement as possible and hope for the best – it could be the disk!

It is past midnight - as is my usual wont now a days I had fallen asleep after my first and last meal of the day some time in the evening - a full meal after starving for the whole day makes me real drowsy and I woke up feeling refreshed and was thinking it is already the morning but it was just nearing one AM over here.
the time now is exactly 0100 hrs IST : and I am trying the internet connection after a rather long gap. After repeated breaks from 31 october BSNL has connected me again today 20111125 around 1300hrs.
The usual practice is that the moment a complaint is registered the external staff will be put on duty and invariably they will come to me and tell me that they have checked the line and there is no fault. This time, for once after I shifted to nedumangad exchange, the line staff had invented a break in the cable at one spot. That was during the break on 17.11.2011. and today ( 25.11.11) they had found that there was another break at the same spot where they had repaired the cable on 21 nov. An earth mover was working in that area and was the culprit I am told! I had visited the place ( about 500 mtrs from my residence ) and the under ground cable is lying very much over ground there at the moment waiting to be damaged again.

The latest strategy
The latest with the internet connection is that the dialer is unaware of the adsl link being broken; however immediately the LAN connection is broken the dialer will kick in and ask whether to redial or not.
My hunch is that this technique has been developed to mask the break in connection being recorded on the self care portal as was being done in the past after I had published the usage details of my connection on the web.
Of course without the ADSL connection I cannot browse the net and the data transfer cannot take place. So I keep a watch on the ADSL LED and rest assured as soon as I find that the ADSL link has gone off I will cut off the LAN and the connection will get broken physically.
I have changed my plan with the BSNL from a rural un-limited to COMBO 500 which is a limited one. The advantage is that the speed promised is 2MBPS while the earlier plan it was 512 kb only. and I am trying to find out if it is going to make the bullock of nedumangad BSNL change its ways.
As I am typing this in, I have the ADSL modem switched on. I have connected it to the telephone cable – the line was getting noisy on connecting through the splitter and so I have the whole telephone line connected directly to the modem. The LAN is not connected. And I can see the ADSL light getting switched on and going off time and again. Ultimately the member of the indian pimp service ( or his subcontractor for that matter ) has become tired of the gimmick and has left it on.
Now as soon as I plug in the LAN cable on to the puter (my poor net book), the ADSL light will get switched off and then start blinking again. And from my part immediately the ADSL light gets switched off I will pull out the LAN card. This struggle will go on for some time. I do not know whether my doing so makes any sense at all; but there is no harm denying some thing the pimp wants –why not connect the adsl cable first and then the LAN ?
Ultimately the pimp gives in and I use my dialer to log in. I visited the hindu and after going through the head lines turned to manorama. And within no time I saw the ADSL LED goes off. And I had cut off the lan and the computer came to know that the connection has been disrupted.
Right now it is 2056 GMT and the power supply ( the mains of my shack ) has been cut off. I have my emergency lamp close by and have switched it on and am continuing after shifting from the monitor to the net book screen. Usually the power supply will be restored after a few minutes for the pimp has to switch off the line supplying the whole area and if the power cut drags on one of the neighbours might complain.
And if you think the power cut is due to the slight drizzle going on outsied you are sadly mistaken )

It is 09:22:53 PM gmt now and the power supply has not been restored.
I have got the ADSL modem on with whatever power there is on my ups and am going to try logging on to the net and publish this – now as a law abiding citizen of india you pray to whichever god you have in your pocket and wish me Bad Luck.
Well the LED has gone off !
09:26:33 PM The ADSL LED came on and I connected the LAN and adsl got switched off
09:26:48 PM LED ADSL on
09:27:05 PM I connect the LAN
09:27:20 PM LED ADSL off I remove the LAN cable
09:27:51 PM LED ADSL on
09:28:18 PM ADSL off
09:28:36 PM ADSL on
09:29:25 PM I connect the LAN and the ADSL gets switched off.
09:29:59 PM Adsl on
09:30:25 PM ADSL off
09:30:35 PM ADSL on
09:30:53 PM ADSL off I think I will wait till ADSL LED stabilises
– the time is as it is being inserted by the system
09:34:03 PM the ADSL has been on continuously for more than well over a minute now and I am going to put the LAN cable into the slot on my net book now
09:35:32 PM LAN LED on and I am going to dial the connection now
09:36:23 PM connected trying to browse
09:37:12 PM ADSL light gone and I cut off the connection and pull out the LAN
09:37:48 PM ADSL LED on again
09:39:15 PM connecting LAN to the puter
09:39:46 PM LAN LED on
09:40:31 PM dialing
09:40:53 PM connected
09:41:48 PM browsing ADSL still on
09:42:49 PM ADSL light off I pull out LAN card and the dialer kicks in asking to redial I refuse and cancel
09:43:27 PM ADSL light on again.
A LAY MAN'S CONCLUSIONS
I have absolutely no training in info tech and you dont have to accept my view of things – make your own conclusions. It could be that I am completely wrong on my presumptions but I can vouch for the fact that the internet connection is being tampered with.
After the repeated breaks in the connection coming out graphically and being published on the web the indian pimp service wants to do it on the sly and avoid being exposed – it could also be possible that the telecom had objected to this obvious interference. So instead of taking over the connection to my computer before I log on to the server of the ISP now a days the manipulation is being done after I have logged on to the net.
the system of the indian pimp service is interposed between my system and the server of the isp via the LAN and the pimp would love to do this before I dial the isp and log in. the adsl connection will then go through the pimp's system when I dial the isp.
If I have the adsl already connected before I connect to the lan and log in the ADSL connection will have to be manipulated to enable meddling with my net connection and it it is during this meddling that the ADSL light disappears from my modem.
The transient interruptions in the adsl led after being connected to the net and the connection to me for all purposes appears to be intact is when the pimp is trying to manipulate the web sites I am visiting – most of the time this happens immediately after I type in the user name and password to one of the sites I frequent.
My internet connection for all practical purposes can be squeezed or freezed at will by the pimps. The speed of data transfer will be decided by the indian pimp ( or this sub contractors for that matter ) and the speed claimed by the isp 2MB or even 2GB will not make any difference to the way I access the net. There is nothing I or anyone else can do about it – because I am living in a police state with no rule of law and where the secret police rules supreme.
When you are sure you are going to be raped, why not lie down and enjoy it . Well “gentlemen” then it is no more a rape; but a consensual act of sex. My principle is to fight them to the last breath and rest assured I will do it.

I am picking up the pieces of what i have typed in last night under the lights of my emergency lamp – the system time and date is as above. The mains power supply is on at the moment.
The ADSL LED which was lit up continuiously went off and had come up again.
I am trying to get on to the net to publish this.
04:26:16 AM Adsl LED getting lit up once more
04:29:34 AM it is on now
04:30:44 AM I am inserting the LAN cable into the netbook
04:31:05 AM LAN lights up
ADSL LED still on
04:31:57 AM I am dialing the connection
04:32:25 AM connected adsl led still on
04:33:02 AM opening firefox
04:33:30 AM adsl light goes off
04:33:52 AM adsl blinking but goes off again
04:34:16 AM dialer is unaware of the fact that the adsl is off
04:34:58 AM this time the dialer kicks in. I refuse to reconnect and pull out the lan cable.
REPEAT
04:36:38 AM dialer blinking again and adsl stabilises
04:37:10 AM I push in the lan cable lan lights up
04:38:15 AM I am dialing connected
04:38:52 AM starts the browser and am going to access sites on the web
04:39:59 AM signing in to google mail – power supply goes off - the modem is on mains power and the line obvioulsy gets cut off
04:42:30 AM switching on to reliance wireless
04:43:33 AM connected to net via reliance modem
04:44:33 AM signing in to google mail – mains power comes and goes ( some one is at it )
ADDENDUM
i got in through the reliance modem and got this blog published, thank goodness; and have logged in a second time from reliance wireless to check up and make some corrections.
the blogger it looks is in basic html mode and there is nothing i can do about the formatting and all and i cant afford the luxury of long hours on the wireless net even to spite the gestapi - gestapi is the indian secert police.
see ya.
