Place: My home somewhere in Bangalore
Time: 5th September, 2005 2038 hrs
My TV suddenly goes blue (indicating no signal). I thought the cable is out but then a notice flashes on the screen informing that the MSOs are blacking-out cable signals in protest of additional 10% tax being imposed on them by the moronic Karnataka government.
Ok, so now I’ve had enough. I can tolerate bad roads, overflowing drain water and traffic jams but the Karnataka Government has gone too far this time. Nobody dares come between my TV and me. And why are they doing it to me? What have I ever done to them besides probably calling them pigheaded which is not even an insult considering that its true. These people are pure evil.
Btw, I would also like to thank my new cell phone for having an inbuilt fm radio to keep me going thru these tough times.
Hey, Anonymous spammer,
thanx a lot. I love being spammed once in a while.I’ll unfortunately have to delete your spam.
wtf, is the whole spamming world up in arms against my blog?
Cable TV is back today. Yahoo!
@vinaya:It is back, for now. Lets see what happens after 15th Sep.
hey– to get rid of spam comments, put on “word verification.” then the computer systems cannot automatically insert their advertisements.
now for my comment– since New Orleans has been hit by this hurricane (you know about it, right?), news updates are always being made. they interupt the TV programs to tell us the same information over and over. now, i’m sympathetic to whats happened to the people, BUT DONT INTERUPT MY SOAP OPERAS!
yes, interupted TV is a pain
@becky l:hey becky,
i didnt want to force non-spammers to go thru the word verification cos i don;t like it. Its like gretting frisked at the airport.
And, I do know about hurricane katrina. It is on the news channels 24/7 and I feel bad for other small news items that don’t get their moment in the sun.
frisked at an airport? … I think that’s fun!
@abigail:ha ha…good for you. i dont like it.
