Hello Lenny.

So I moved to this old new place (closer to work - now I am one of those rare animals in Bengaluru that commute on foot), on April 1 (note the date), alone (but not lonely, though I miss my friends very much), but the Internet moved in about a month late. No one else's fault, actually - I just wasn't around when the technician showed up, and he didn't know my cell phone number. I would be busy on weekdays, and travelling or just plain lethargic on weekends. Besides, I really didn't expect them to act so fast. Finally, I called up a BSNL customer service center to check the status of my application, got redirected to and by several people several times, and eventually found the right officer in charge of such business. And I had the good fortune to be addressed "saar" by our comrades in ghorment, several times, in an otherwise regular day.

Well, what can I say. This humble citizen is extremely honoured. Someone calling me saar!
