Newton's Law of Hired Autorickshaws

Whenever in hurry, or urgent need to get somewhere on time, you will get the slowest bloke driving your hired autorickshaw, who is of the opinion that gear 2 will be invented in the next century and will follow all the traffic rules and be gracious enough to let other vehicles, pedestrians, dogs, cats, etc. pass on ahead.

Broadband... is it Really?

These internet service providers come to your door with a big smile and offer you broadband...hooray its finally here!!! ...aah think of all those songs/movies that I can stream online... mmmm.
Well, hang on and read the small print. Somewhere at the bottom there is this line, "80 paise per MB downloaded". What the .... {{{{whaam}}}} ... I just fell from my cloud there.

I dont get it. Why do they say broadband and assign download limits? Who wants to check emails at 512 kbps? I want broadband for downloading stuff. With the 1 GB limit so graciously given once I download Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server I will need to go to my good old MTNL dialup for browsing. Then wait till next month for that new movie that I wanted to stream. The internet consumers here just put up with it all eh... aah well, just to be connected.

Im waiting for unlimited bandwidth @ 1mbps (VDSL/cable) whichever comes first, at a price that wont have me giving up a few meals a week.
Till then...
