** BSNL **

We remained out of telephone link for quite a long time. I made a habit of visiting the local BSNL office almost daily to get our lines restored - only to be told that there is some major cable break and people are working on it. After the first week, the lines were restored only to go down again after two days. Today, after so many days, our telephone link still remains out of service - but to my great surprise, I see that our Broad Band link is working !! The lines may be down - but we have to keep paying the rent - that is the true meaning of "looting" !!
