Telephone Lines Snap!

Over the weekend, our broadband lines got snapped due to windy rains in Mangalore. I was unable to publish any posts or reply any emails which you might have sent during this period of time. I’m sincerely sorry for the inconvenience. Normal posting schedule will continue from today onwards.

Here in India, telephone companies suck big time! It’s common for the over head telephone cables to break up and go unrepaired for days, or even weeks.
