Professional Ruminations

Yes, I should start this blog with a 'wow' to our BSNL (The biggest Indian Telecom provided). Just like every other Indian national, I do carry the same notion about our Telecom provider in this country. Perhaps, that would have came from my own real personal experience. Having said that, with a very recent sealed envelop that came all the way from our local BSNL office - that too with a check for Rs. 112/-. How cool is it? Read on.

It was roughly 2 years ago when I wanted to take up a new telephone and internet connection for my family in India (during this period I was in the US of A), I was asked to provide a deposit of Rs.100/-. I simply showed Rs.100 bill across the counted and waited for nearly 2hrs to get the receipt of the same. Finally, I got it (just the reciept). Then the real story unfolds..

After a couple of days, with no sign of new connection, I inquired at the same office and got a reply that "your home is in a remote place (village), and there are no nearby telephone posts / poles we probably will not be able to provide a new connection". This is weird right? when every government, even the central government initiates / aims at every development projects to promote villages / remote places, why not a new connection can be provided? - I asked this question to myself and just the place.

It was just 2 days ago, when I got this envelope with a check for Rs.112 in it, I realized what a wonderful organization.. which made me wowed for this act.
