Sticks around the place:

Weird title? ya .. coz its a weord piece anyway..{Its more of a standby fodder for a idea deprived blog crazy teenager}
The thing is, i recently had the fortune to own a cellphone... that too after mucho pleadingo and beggingo... but finally when i turned 18, i was finally granted a fone!
After i went for a entry level, cheap multi-media fone, {oi..its got Infra-red!}, my next dilemma was which provider do i go for.. My parents work for BSNL and they wanted me to go for one of those connections... Unfortunately they dont have any nice messaging package and each message costs hell itself! {read one rupee for 160 characters}.. By then i had a strange feeling i may have to rely on messaging for most of my communications....
So i went for Vodafone!.. Its got a nice package where 31 bucks per month can get me messages at 10 paise each.. so .. ya.. i ..erm.. got it.
Vodafone are notorious for their atrocious netwrok connectivity.. But strangely i have had no such problems lately..This is where the sticks come in.. My cell fone shows network strength as a scale of 4 "bars" or what i call "sticks" . :)
There various "stick" positions around my house and my college.. here are a few:
# My garage (where i park my bike) - 3 sticks
# My room near the bed- 2 to 3 sticks
# My room at my study desk- 2 sticks { constantly.. theres no changing it! :( }
# Dining room on the dining table - 4 sticks
# Dining room inside my pocket- NO signal {funny aint it? maybe its a sign from above that i may
be able to eat in peace }
# My classroom- Full signal again {i dont know what "above" is trying to prove with that! }
# My aunts place- 1 stick {Hanging in there! }
# .....
Hell, this list is incomplete.. forgotten the stick positions at other places....
On the latest developements:
1) Blogging is still nice but i can feel myself slowing down
2) Its a miracle! I may actually pass the French test!
3) My engineering friends finish their internals tomorrow so we mat go out and watch "Goal"
4) SMS is still nice but i'm feeling like Vodafone is piling all its spam into my tiny inbox
5) I found my very first Hotwheels Gallardo.. I'd taken it to college, and my friends gave me very
sympathising, patronising looks :
6) Yesterday was my buddy and fellow blogger Prateek Maloo famously known as "talk
to the hand" 's birthday!.. Happy Belated Birthday mate!..
Thats it for now... More later!
P.S : There's no song murdering today as i cant think of any nice ones as of now!

It's absolutely fascinating, the number of times you're told something is buggy, only to find out it's on the contrary...

'tis good you made a decision yourself...
