When you suggested that unlimited dialup line, we subscribed for it on a Wednesday. The next day was a public holiday, so all of us were hom. Doorbell rings at 5 PM and there is this man standing with tools et al.

“Mai yahaan area mein aayaa thhaa, aur socha aapke ghar aa ke dekh loon kya wiring karni padegi”

Takes a look, says new wire will have to be installed from point outside to computer because he couldnt switch the existing line. Fair enough. he says he’ll come next week….

Next week? He’s back on Saturday and says, “Mai ne thhodaa socha…. wire laganaa nahin padegaa. Isi liye mai abhi aaya.”

Does work, tests line and is out.

No chai paani either.

Another time, one line went dead. We placed a complaint in the morning, MTNL folks were home in the afternoon, found a short in one of our wires, and left. Didnt ask for money either.

Once in a while it does work!
