Hi,just a few minutes ago, one of my colleagues at my workplace told MTNL is to be taken over by Tata (what the hell ?!) its very confidential. his mom works at MTNL, and she has been given a VRS for 2 months. he said top officials of MTNL are being bribed by Tata-authorities to comply with them, and MTNL is deliberately (and wrongly) portraying themselves to be in loss. they deliberately switch off the internet service in few places on Friday/Saturday, and then switch it back on only on Mondays, just to frustrate the customers, so that they get fed up. he also said that someone put the 4th floor (which contains all the documents and papers) of the Borivali MTNL exchange on fire a few days back. please, could someone verify this ? he said it was highly confidential, and only MTNL employees had info on it. if by any chance someone here has any idea on it, please enlighten us. would be very grateful. and if this is true, my blood is already boiling with rage (which now is a daily feature with me sadly, considering the day-to-day situation in our country) on the MTNL babus who have the gall to do such a thing too (which we all know babus & netas are pretty capable of). friends, i had stopped celebrating our prime national days (26th jan & 15th aug) on realising the futility of 'celebrations' in such a country full of b*****ds, & am turning a misanthrope day-by-day. dont expect an iota of feeling of responsibility & patriotism from anyone now. most of us are ready to sell everything we ever held dear in times-gone-by, to satisfy our lower appetites. guess we dont have time to ponder over all this since we are so much pre-occupied with cricket, flirting or girlfriend/boyfriend stupidities, consumerism, etc. egypt has shown the way. i guess its time we tackle such damned f*^%#rs in a very non-Gandhian manner !sorry i wrote in such a way, but am really feeling anguished. its seldom that i get to feel happy & good nowadays, with so much insanity going on everyday. kaliyug is really intensifying day-by-day :madness:
