Untill a few months ago, the connection at my home used to give problems every once in a while, and I used to get heavy bills for the usage though I doubt that I have used it much in those days, but right now, with the unlimited connections both at home and office, there is hardly any downtime.

Untill recently. At the office, for the past few days in the afternoon hours a strange phenomenon is occuring when the internet goes off every 150 seconds and comes back after every 150 seconds. This simply acts an an on off cycle with a frequency of 150 seconds. I got fed up with this today and went directl to the exchange, and they asked me to bring the modem stating that it si a modem problem. Bloody hell, a modem will not act like this, it is the problem of the bloody port to which our line is connected.

They are just refusing to check it, and when I came back to the office I found that net is working without the breaks, but with latency of upto 5 seconds per ping. I wonder how that works, there is a delay of 5 seconds or over 5000 ms for every request that is sent every second. Maybe the people programmed ubuntu know what they have been doing, and its correct.

Well, what is the best way to get connected to the internet? People these days do say that there will be satellite downlinks all over India in the next 2 years, and India would be the next server farm, and that you will find one in every home. If BSNL doesnt improve its service, people will start hosting their servers on BSNL, and that would come down as another black mark for India. The Land of Bad Servers.

What will happen if all mobile companies keep their networks busy and stop providing decent services to the people around? Who would serve the country with a billion people and a trillion mobile phone connections? Maybe there would be a new player who would be soon coming in to take over all these service providers and become a monopoly.

Addiction to mobile phone has affected almost everyone in the world, particularly Indians, and no drug rehabilitation center will be able to help them out, as even in a drug rehab you find people talking on mobile phones.

The Kerala Government says in its tourist guides that ages ago, the Chinese used to trade with Kerala. I think thats bullshit. There were chinese people here before Aadhi Shankaracharya arrived in Kerala. He drove them out, but somehoe the people seem to have retained the ancient culture still. Thats why in a stupid country such as India, there is 100% literacy only in Kerala. People there know the value of education.

Malayalam is a mix of Tamil and Sanskrit though. There has been no influence of the Chinese language.

How is it possible for anyone to make such accurate predictions? And if his predictions on the world war were correct, then why didn’t people forsee the 9/11 attack? And as for India, looks like BJP is going to be coming back into power, and that the Congress would fade away slowly. Well, looks like thats what is going to happen. Yet to wait and watch.

Well, why hasn’t he told anything about ravisblog.com or podworks.in? Or atleast me? Didnt he care about me? Or did he not find time? Well, if my theory about a time machine is correct, then he should have all the time in the universe.

If you are running an India based Hosting company, several of them being there already serving the whole wide world, paypal should be your first choice. You can register for a business account, get it verified with your credit card, and integrate it with your site. If your site is a basic html site, you could paste payapl buttons on the page with which your clients could get into subscriptions, and terminate it when they want to discontinue. Paypal is a service that is used world wide, and you can withdraw money to your indian bank accounts, and you dont really need an offshore bank account in the US or UK to receive payments which you can wire to India.

Otherwise, you could opt for a USD payment processor which can process credit cards for you. But this will need an offshore bank account into which you could collect the payments. You could always bring any amount of money into India, without any taxes.

I am a heavy smoker. I suck up atleast 10 cigarettes a day. And days of stress would make me a chain smoker, and there are days when I have smoked more than 30 cigs. One problem is that I do not like to smoke in a closed room. I always like to smoke where there are no walls. That is either at the terrace or at the balcony. Or at roadsides.

What does the doctor want? Why doesn’t he just ban the manufacture of cigarettes in India if he is so concerned? I now cannot smoke at the office as it is a public place, and we cannot afford to leave a room for a smoking zone, and with no shade in the terrace or the balcony at the office, where am I supposed to smoke now?

Well, I don’t affected from smoking at all. I know that. I can still inflate toys with my mouth and blow baloons with my nose. My lungs are just fine. And I can climb any steep slopes without any problems. What is my secret? I drink a lot of water. I just keep on drinking water and keep on peeing. I drink atleast a litre of water every hour when I am at work. That is atleast 10 litres of water a day. And when I am watching tv too I drink a lot of water. The wanter makes your insides sparkling clean. Blood cleans the lungs, and with a lot of water, it cleans better. The only thing is that I am giving my kidneys a lot of work, but I should hope that the water would keep the kidneys clean as well and keep it safe. This is not a metabolic process, so a colon cleanser might not help much.

If you are outside India, you might laugh at this cos probably you might be on a 10 Mbps connection while reading this, but in India owning a 512 Kbps connection is like owning a Rolls Royce. I sit before this computer for about 6 hours a day, and therefore the AC runs here for 6 hours a day, and for the remaining 18 hours, the door is locked, and so are all windows, and the heat is almost unbearable when I enter the room in the evening after office. No AC, no ventilation, and all the heat that is released by the cpu and the modem have no means of getting out of the room.

Well, anyways, I am quite happy with the performance of the modem, as I know that the computer has to perform, after all it is a server quality cpu that I have got, and the monitor is always turned off, as I use it only when I am working on the PC. The modem is working in its full effecienty round the clock for the past 2 months, during which time it has not been turned off even once, and BSNL too has been able to supply data all this while (i think i am sure that there has been no downtime or anything), though at the office it is a different story.

Some one starts a site, advertises it, makes visitors visit it and apply for a report. They say they take a few days to process the report and get it ready, and they never get back. Then what do they do with all the details that they have collected from you? Well, they sell it.

It is the best way to collect the biggest bunch of personal finance details from any person. These details are sold to other credit card providers and agents who would pay quite well for information of this sort.

And, once they get hold of your information, you start getting spam mails and phone calls, and ultimately you will end up changing your phone number and your email address.
