I just came back to Kolkata and am using DataOne broadband connection at home. I use a MacBook Pro and it took me a really long to figure out a way to connect to the internet. BSNL broadband in Calcutta uses PPPoE to connect. I didn't find any information anywhere. After a bit of trial and error I figured the solution.
Connecting directly:
In the network preferences just use a simple PPPoE connection type either with Airport or ethernet.
Connection with TimeCapsule of Airport Extreme:
This is the best part. TimeCapsule has a in-built functionality to connect using PPPoE. Just provide ur credentials and TC connects seamlessly without needing you to reconnect every time the connections drops off.
The BSNL connection keeps dropping and the TC solution makes my life really easy.
Thoughts or gibberish, signal or noise - it's for the reader to establish. These are my thoughts that I love to pen and maybe (at times only!) want to earn bragging rights for. That's how Gilmour and Waters wrote most of their music...

Are things really round?
Only time will tell and maybe it will be sooner than later. I will maybe never get over what happened with Tuki, maybe my guilt will never get the better of me. But it seems the time is around the corner in a little more than a month when I will know if things really go round.

MunMun
This lady from Kolkata has been subject of some entertainment in our lives (forgive me for the calling it entertainment). I will get to her story some other time, but for now let me just say what she reminds me of every time I see her photo galleries on Orkut. She is this the personification of this Bengali girl in the new age. She still holds reflects everything that Bengalis have been known for. The way she celebrated the occasions, her attire, her friends and the way she likes capturing moments. I have never mentioned this to her, but I love seeing her pictures. It so reminds of the a culture, a place that I have willingly forsaken. Is it bad? Is the place and its people worth running away from? I have scorned their ways and the customs. Is it bad? I think I should adapt a more tolerant view and appreciate the better parts of it.
The honeymoon
Its my personal experience that everything that you love will begin to fall out of it in some time. That is the so perishable nature of things around us. Is it us, the way we have been taught to look at things or is it a function of nature. I am trying to draw comparisons with nature to understand that ephemerality is natural or is it a creation of the mind. My emotions are very very strong and hence things close to my heart are always very special to me. Be it my belongings, my people, or my job. And till date there is only one person or thing that I haven’t stopped loving. This person is my best friend Neel. I have just not stopped loving him. I am still looking for reasons. We have fought but we have never given up on each other.
I broke up with all my girlfriends and every time it happened I think it was the sense of jaded that stopped the emotions flowing. I am again in the chasing game now. It’s been good till now. Fun I would say, mixed with a few failures or heart burns. Let me use this case to understand how to or how not to get BORED.
