If I Could Turn Back Time

- Roshan

If you could return to the past to relive a part of your life, either to experience the wonderful bits again, or to do something over, which part of you life would you return to? Why?

Ah to get back to being 15 again. That was a good year to be alive. I would like to go back to 1991-92 oh such a wonderful memories I have of that time of my life. To be that young again and to be so full of wonder and the promise of a full life ahead of me. Back then I even thought that I could be a singer in a world famous rock band (hahahahahahahaha ah silly me)!

28-29 was a good time of my life. Not financially great but I really did enjoy what I was doing at the time. I made a lot of friends at this point and I was happier I guess and certainly more outgoing. That was a good time too. Just over 10 years ago. Hmmm, how things do change.

But the real joyful time is to be a young kid again. Ages 5-12. Ah what a carefree existence I had. No worries (other than missing that special cartoon or tv show) and having fun with my friends after school and during the holidays with my cousins. Playing games, playing football and cricket and board games till late in the night. Special memories of a life that will never come back again.

Long Day At Work & No Internet

- Roshan

Another long day at work yesterday, another 8 pm exit, another Uber, another late evening with no internet at home. That is what I was upto yesterday and why there was no post for yesterday. Not only was yesterday a terribly long and tiring day, working 3 hours extra and having to get an Uber to get back home. I have been working day shifts since December 2nd and ever since then I have been stretching at work on several days that it’s begun to feel like crap.

And when I come back home at 8:45 pm and switch on my laptop and find that the internet is down – my couple of hours chilling on the laptop and being online is gone and my relaxing for the evening is gone. Instead I have to call up the ISP’s hotline and raise a complaint and wait until the problem is fixed. Now usually I am all ok about the occasional technical complaint and I get it that things like an internet service does go down once in a while. Having worked in this industry for so long (mobile industry and such) I am cool with that and usually very understanding about it. But this particular issue has been happening every week for the past few weeks now and I am yet to get a proper resolution for it. And even though I didn’t raise my voice or make a fuss I did tell them that this is not acceptable as it has been happening quite frequently.

So after raising the complaint I sent a nicely worded two paragraph email to one of their managers and to their helpdesk hoping that they will look into the complaint and give me a proper resolution as soon as possible.
