Ive been to India recently. Had SIFY BROADBAND while i was in Hyderabad. The funny thing after returning home is, INSIGHT internet wont work!! Thank goodness that there is a free wireless that i could use to check mails regularly, but this is wierd.

Being a Tech Support at UofL, i knew i could figure this out. The only obstacles in me working on it are:

1. Crappy feeling after cutting the trip to India short,

2. Moved into a new apartment and all the stuff needed to be out of the cartons!

3. My biological cycle just finds the right time to kick in!

4. Just not in the mood for it !!

Well, anyways, after all that, i thought maybe i should call insight tech support.

Being in that role for sometime, i know that the fellow on call can see my account and tell me whats working and whats not!

But listen to this conversation:

TECH SUPPORT GUY: blah blah blah blah how can i help you?

ME: Hi, i have a weird problem, my internet on insight used to work, but now it doesnt. The LAN connection says its connected, the modem lights are on and flashing, but no internet!
TECH SUPPORT GUY: Can you check with another cable? Maybe problem with your laptop.

ME: NO, that cant be, because i can connect to internet at my work and wireless at home too.

TECH SUPPORT GUY: Then you will have to call your PC guy!

ME: uhuh!

TECH SUPPORT GUY: let me get you you PC support no, what model is ur laptop?

ME: DEL Inspiron E 1505

TECH SUPPORT GUY: ok, here it is: 1-800-624-9896

ME: uhuh, thanks

TECH SUPPORT GUY: blah blah anything else blah blah

ME: UHUH! bye

My laptop came with windows media center, but trust me, i tweaked into it with Aston shell, and a lot of crap, that there is no way, a dell tech support will be willing to do anything with it!

So what now?

I’ll take care of it myself…L A T E R !

VERY IMPORTANT RULES TO FOLLOW ::

1. Look into the eyes of the official during the interview!

2. Demonstrate respect, confidence, grace in every sentence you speak!

The interview most probably will last one to three minutes.

3. Be prepared to answer why you selected the school in which you have received admission.

4. You may be asked how many admissions you have received and the number of rejects from various US universities you have applied to. DON’T HESITATE TO TALK ABOUT YOUR REJECTIONS.

5. You must demonstrate how your education and your degree will be of value to you in India. You dont have to sound too poetic/patriotic. Something like “I would be able to takeover brilliant jobs in India after this valued degree”

=>Be ready to clarify your goals upon returning home.

Until about 3,500 years ago, a spectacular ancient civilization was flourishing in the Eastern Mediterranean.

The ancient Minoans were building palaces, paved streets and sewers, while most Europeans were still living in primitive huts.

The myth of Atlantis, the city state that was lost beneath the sea, was first mentioned by Plato over 2000 years ago.

It has had a hold on the popular imagination for centuries.

A group of scientists have uncovered new evidence that the island of Crete was hit by a massive tsunami at the same time that Minoan culture disappeared.

Many scientists are still of the view that these waves only blasted material away and did not leave much behind in the way of deposits.

For all the innocent people’s lives that ended for no reason, my heart goes out…

To the insane meaningless massacre that happened, iam speechless. WHY??? WHY do such things happen.

What should be the reaction?

Anger?

Sympathy towards what a human being is capable of?

Helplessness towards happenings beyond our control?

How many more American families need to be left with just a photograph by their fireplace before the politicians will get started on serious gun-control legislation?

The second amendment gives the right to bare arms. It does not give us the right to carry an ARSENAL! WHAT????

Ramada Plaza Resorts ripoff!!

They are nagging me and now offering the deal for $99.

These people called once a few months back and I said no because it seemed all too good to be true and a little shady to accept right then and there. They called me last week and offered the deal for $99 per person for the 7day cruise.

Today, I got called thrice from this number, no one talks, just a blank call.
When I call back, its picked up and kept aside, what kind of joke is this??

So the first thing I do is Google this number and guess what? It is auto-filled by my Google toolbar!!

Look how weird this is : phonesearchcentral.com lists this number as a frequently searched number.

Now, as to how to get them to stop calling you:

* You need to go to www.donotcall.gov/

* Register your phone number with them.

* If you continue to receive calls- file a complaint on the website as well
