Truly wireless

I am writing this post from my group laptop which has a high speed Sierra wireless card (from Reliance) in it. And suddenly I experienced what truly wireless is ! No power cords, no ethernet cables, no keyboad/mouse wires. I can as well be sitting in a beautiful beach surrounded by ... (well .... you know what I mean) and write this.


Our company gives some impressive perks for staying in touch with work . One can either go for a wireless card, in which case you don't have to worry about where you are connecting from etc. (The card costs a fortune though !) Or you can avail reimbursement on you broadband bill upto a certain amount. I never knew about such schemes until about a few weeks back. Goes to show how companies publicize themselves wrt perks while at the same time ensuring that minimum employees avail such perks.

RTO Blues ...

I had my first experience with a traffic cop on Sat nite. NOC issue. My bike has TN registration and normally one can ride a vehicle of outside registration for 6 months in a different state. I had read this piece of info from RTO Pune website ! (The site seems to be down now). Well, this cop wasn't listening to anything. Me being a non-Marathi wasn't helping at all. Thankfully, my friend at office smoothed out some things and I ended up emptying my purse !! Thinking retrospectively, I shouldn't have parted all my money. I'm sure he must have been ready for a far less sum too. My bad ... Anyway, it ended up as a bad beginning to a hilarious night at Great Punjab !
