Act II : Scene III

Loads of free time gives you a nice opportunity to sit nd ponder over life n in the end gain loads of weight.. somebdy hd actually posed me a direct question... "poore time ghar baithe baithe kitna weight gain kar li ab tak??.."

Actually speaking, since the time i hav returned from BIT M, i hav been trying my hands at various things(to the likes of kneading flour nd making milk shake too).... but somehow nothing seems to come handy when you want to 'kill time' n that too loads of it at one go.... Suddenly even d Goddess of Sleep who always used to bestow me wit her blessings nd good will during all-nd-every-possible exam, too has been playing hide nd seek...

My HDD is full up to d brim with movies... so much so that each time i try dwnlding a new song from d WWW it gives me a low-disk-space warning... but i, who holds records of watching movies back-2-back in theatres can't sit thru fifteen mins at a stretch ny longer... On telly it's just Himesh nd his red/white/black caps... no luck there too... Tried scrapping nd crapping in other peoples scrapbooks(read : orkut) in english/hindi/hinglish/french/german/arabic but even that has lost its 'charm' (if there was ny in first case)....

And although some ignorant female out somewhere would take pride in announcing " I have access to the WWW 24 7 365..." i cross my heart nd admit this connection has been a pain-you-know-where since it arrived... it takes me precisely 3.77 mins to verify my name nd passwrd each time i log into orkut although i believe i have 'Remember my name nd passwrd on this computer' for like a zillion times now... An illustration for those who can't exactly imagine what 115.2 Kbps connectivity nd 4.68 kb/sec download speed is like it took me 12:03 pm to 12:39 pm to dwnld 'ye mera deewanapan hai.mp3--The Namesake' a 8.26 mb song that will take approx. 4 mins to play in entirety...Alas!!!!

## Side note 1: If you are plannin to gt an internet connection...Wait till some service provider falls for your got-nothing-to-do-too-hot-to-play-nd-still-jobless story nd agrees to set up "d Broadband" at your place... friendly advice----"don't go in for a GPRS".....

Now that you've read upto here and have clearly figure out that i have practically nothing(nd these nothings can b real murderous at times) to do, nd you must have also inferred why you are getting to read this blog... ;)..

And for all those who are still racking their brains over why this post is called Act II: Scene III...even i m clueless..

4.68 Kb/sec download speed

Hota hai dear!! this is the same situation that i went through last year.. But Trust me once you get into work and unfortunately if you are asked to work 7 days a week continuously for some months, you are gonna miserably remember these days!!! (Ask me).. Anyways the only hope I can give to dipsi is "this is the last time this is happening". :)
