Why Aircel's 3G bug has bitten me

Dear Readers,

You might protest that I’m going a little offbeat with my blog this time but let me tell you that it is very much in accordance with the theme of my blog i.e. ‘Random Thoughts and Observations’. So you can’t really complain that my post is different ‘cause in the next few minutes you’ll realize that this is actually one of my thoughts and observation. :-)

Well, as I said “different” so here comes something that is very different than everything of its class. Presenting Aircel’s Unlimited 3G plans. Now you must be wondering that as it is an unlimited plan, it will burn a big hole in your pocket. Believe me! I too thought the same. I mean ever since 3G has come to India, we have seen how telecom operators charge us a “whale amount” to enjoy internet at superfast speed. We common people couldn't afford such costly plans. But there’s nothing to worry! You needn’t spend most of your pocket money to take the pleasure of browsing at high speed as Aircel has come up with revolutionary new 3G plans (called PocketInternet Smart), just like it did during the times of 2G by providing unlimited 2G (Pocket Internet). With Aircel’s 3G plans, Mango Man (आम  आदमी :-D) like you and me can actually take full advantage of superfast internet that may shoot up to 3.6 mbps. Cool huh? Keeping the Common Man on mind, Aircel has launched 3G @ 8 which means we can have the privilege for as low as 8 rupees without getting a kilobit low speed as we are paying less. Fair Deal, I say! :-)

Okay! You guys might accuse me of cheating Airtel, a company whom I’ve been loyal since 2006. The reason why I’ve still stuck to Airtel is because I didn’t want to lose my number. Alright, I know MNP exists; but I don’t know what the reason behind it is but I feel so attached with Airtel. However, now with such a mouth-watering deal from Aircel, my loyalty to Airtel is put to test. I’m planning to switch to Aircel just to enjoy its irresistible deal: 3G @ 8. WOW!

I’ve already started making plans what I’m gonna do with Aircel’s cheap 3G service. Some of the things that are on my list after adopting Aircel 3G are as under:

• Watch videos on YouTube on the go without worrying about hitting the limit as I’m on unlimited plan.
• Skype-ing with my relatives to be in touch, and my foreign friends to help them with their English (as I’ve been doing since July last year). Most importantly, be able to continue my Spanish lessons with my Venezuelan teacher no matter where I am.
•  Post photos in SNS faster than I blink my eyelids. ;-)
• Be connected with my networks 24x7.
• And of course, be able to blog with ease and communicate with you guys as it will be BLAZING FAST!!!

Aircel: Opening world of possibilities for me!

The Titanic

Each one of us must have watched the movie ‘Titanic’ at least once ever since its release in 1997. And now to commemorate the 100^th anniversary of the ship ‘Titanic’ its 3D version has launched; many of us might have seen it too. Well, this week my blog post is dedicated to the “ship that was not supposed to sink”, but unfortunately did. I’m not going to do much talking here; my poem dedicated to Titanic will take you through the journey of the movie and make all the memories afresh.

The Titanic

Behold how she sails out of the dock,

To see her move everyone flock.

Standing tall as she'll touch the sky,

Moving with her head held up so high.

Swiftly she starts her journey long,

With people onboard singing song:

They dance; they rejoice and party long,

Amidst them was growing a love so strong.

The love was between Jack and Rose,

Social class couldn't stop them from getting close.

The first class Rose, and third class Jack,

Were so close even Cal couldn't pull them back.

Jealous Cal tried hard but all in vain,

Couldn't help but live with the pain.

The romance between the lovebirds went on,

When all of a sudden they were all drawn;

The magnificent ship had swaggered along,

And hit a massive iceberg: things go wrong.

There was hue; there was cry and chaotic scene,

Oh! That iceberg disturbed the sea serene.

Oh! What happened before the destination arrive,

Making everybody scared - wishing to be alive.

The lifeboats could save but a number few,

And the rest would go into the deep sea blue.

Rose was in a boat but she jumped back in,

How could she leave Jack alone within!

Jack hugged her tight, and asked her "why,

She got back in", uttering a sigh;

Rose couldn't leave him alone behind:

Oh their love - so eternally destined!

Slowly The Atlantic gobbled the ship,

Rose got a wreck to her grip,

Poor Jack float there in icy sea:

Waiting for someone to hear their plea.

No navigator did pass by yet,

Making Jack fret, his life at threat;

Slowly the frosty sea covered him,

Freezing him up: his body numbing.

Rose lay there singing "Come Josephine",

And Jack still float with a chilly spine.

A boat did came there passing by,

Rose, on the plank she still lay,

In her, a ray of hope came alive,

She thought with Jack she'll strive.

To live a life filled with love,

And enjoy life's beautiful trove.

But Fate had other plans in store,

Jack went deep into eternal snore,

Poor Rose tried to wake up Jack,

Crying, "Come back! Come back!"
