10 Reasons to Like MTNL's Customer Care!

1. The call centre is so full of aunties! Who doesn't love their annoying voices?
2. You speak more to the automated voices "Aap Qatar mein hain" than with the call centre people.
3. They speak like robots. So cute :>
4. They have abnormally long tea/lunch breaks.
5. Their Operators are always busy :>
6. They say "Press 3" for expert engineers. But they still take you to the lovely aunties :)
7. They have unlimited complaint tokens! I keep calling them to earn lot's & lot's of them!
8. They explain the instructions so quickly, you'd have to record it & hear it on slow-mo . I love slowmo.
9. They are over-eager to listen "Acha ab lagta hai, ki teekh ho gaya". Else they will entertain you with the melodious "Tch, Tch" sounds!
10. Once they put you on hold, they won't come back. It takes guts to stay on line, till they come back.

In short, I meant to say, that the entire customer care is horrible. It's worser than watching a movie with no script, Or one that stars Tamil actors, whichever you find, more painful. They have no idea of what they are saying, they read everything from a paper, & rub it on your face.
They don't like us saying "still not working" & you can visualise them making all those wierd "I'm so fed up of this guy" faces. It makes you want to get up & strangle them with the internet cable. (If you have a wireless connection, you could alternatively hit them with the router/modem ).


This blog, has been re-written thrice. My internet disconnected twice, while writing, & the third time, the electricity went off for a second & back ,just to disconnect me again. I believe I'm incurring the wrath of the customer care Gods , but I'm taking my chances. ( the Next person to tell me , it's a problem with my pc, will suffer the same fate)
Peace.

My Really Awkward Neighbours

Consider this a rant. Seriously.
I have no clue where they are from, their origin. Somewhere in the east of India I think.
They are quite ignorant people, They always, believe me, ALWAYS leave the elevator gates partly opened & I'm the one who gets a call from the watchman to go & close it, as my neighbours couldn't afford what, an Intercom?
They speak with a pretty weird accent too. They are a family of 4. that includes two kids. One of them is small, cuddly & cute, so I have particularly no problems against her. There's another girl. Maybe she's in the 2nd-3rd. She enjoys watching Doraemon & Shinchan and various other cartoons at such high decibels, that the entire colony is alarmed of the fact that she's watching tv. What's even more annoying is the fact that she has this weird habit of knocking on my door & then running away. It seriously angers me, but what can I possibly do about it? I can't take my rifle & threaten her, can I?
Her Mom is even more strange. She speaks with such a bamboozled accent, it feels like she's seducing(in a totally "turn-off" way) you at the end of every sentence. Stretching the last words, giving it a melody, what not.
It just get's worse. They have these kind of "get-togethers" wherein a big, really big group comes over & watches a bhojpuri movie together on an age-old stuttering dvd on steroids.The sounds from such movies are so annoying, you literally wish lightning strikes them. They aren't even that friendly. They will come asking for "Gum, Rubber, Paper, Pen, Pencil & probably every type of stationery, you can imagine". And when nothing is required, they won't even greet you with a sober smile or even a gentle "hi". Just "neglect" is their basic attitude. They have over 100 pujas in a month. I have no idea, how many sins do they have to confess for, or how much well-being/fortune can you possibly ask for?
They are the best examples of really stupid neighbours. So Stupid, that I had to write a blog about it.

How Chemistry Affects Your Mental Ability.

My really good friend, Navneet , was at my place. he was home alone, so he came by to sleep & he said he couldn't study alone, as his mind would be diverted to imaginary lands.
So, I was just surfing & i thought I'll update my blog. It was around 12:15..In the night ofcourse, he has/had a chemistry exam the other day. So I went up to him & asked him "Tell me something to write about in my blog please." .
He Replied "do you have a blog?" [OUCH].
I was like "Yes, i do".
He made a thinking face & I had some expectation of something good to be said by him.
Alas, it was not to be. The cruel, mindcrunching aura of chemistry had already engulfed him, & he replied with a sense of satisfaction-"Monomers".

I could do nothing, but up in my head , My brain went all "FACEPALM".
Needless to say anything more.

I Suck at Making Introductions.

I'm seriously not at all good at introductions. I made this blog, purely out of my totally exhausted situation. I'm not even going to make a honest try at it, because i know it won't be fruitful. Oh yes, i do think of the fruit, before i hardwork. Besides, only a lame person would keep working, till he realises that all he'll get is peanuts. Life's like that, it's..Wait, i'm not one of those bloggers[I'm not even a blogger to be honest] who will give you the 'lectures' on soul searching & the beauty of life. This blog is about me, my life & the people in it. By my 'life' , i don't mean to describe the 'beauty' of it, but the strange inferences & stuff like that, stuff that i imagine & the totally insane kind of feelings i get , thinking about things that happen daily.
Anyways, the fact that you actually read this, means you have some kind of interest in the way i type, the way i speak, OR you are bored, just like me.
Stay tuned,for more& more insanity. Watch this space ;)
