It was cloudy yet bright right after a heavy rain. Heading out for photos on that day made me meet this water puddle that is so still, I can see the refection of its surroundings. The contrast between the color of the building and the greenery in the foreground made this an interesting photograph.
This picture is shot in S. R. Nagar area of Hyderabad, which is usually crowded.
ఈ రోజు ట్యాంక్‌బండ్ పైన గల విగ్రహాల పట్ల జరిగిన అరాచకత్వం తెలంగాణా ఉద్యమానికి గల నాయకత్వ లేమిని, నిగ్రహ లేమిని ఎత్తిచూపుతోంది. నాయకత్వ లక్షణాలు లేని నాయకులు ప్రజలను నిర్దేశరాహిత్యంతో రెచ్చగొడితే జరిగే పరిణామాలు ఇలాగే ఉంటాయి. ఇట్లాంటి ఘటనలవల్ల తెలంగాణా ఉద్యమానికి గల సహేతుక ప్రాతిపదిక మరుగునపడిపోయే ప్రమాదం ఉంది. అలా మరుగున పడటం తెలంగాణా ప్రజలకు నష్టమున్నూ, నాయకులకు ఇష్టమున్నూ.
కొసమెరుపు: రాజకీయ నాయకులపై ఈ రోజు జరిగిన దాడి కొన్ని రోజుల క్రితం జేపీ పై జరిగిన దాడిముందు వెలవెలబోయింది.
The outside temperature sensor on the right mirror is non-functional for a while. It was reporting -40C as external temperature. This got fixed and now I am getting the right reading on my DDAS (Digital Drive Assist System). Note that this got fixed free of cost, since the sensor is broken even without any damage to the mirror.
Clutch: The clutch loosened a bit in the recent weeks and is struggling at low speeds. This got fixed and now the gear shift is handling very smoothly.
Rest of the service included top up of fluids and minor tweaks. The van is delivered on time.
BTW, this time, I got it serviced by the new Mahindra service station at Kothaguda crossroads, near Madhapur. Their service is impressive.
My BSNL Internet Modem died on Sunday night. That has shut doors on my internet connectivity at home. The modem was installed in 2005 March (yes, 5y9m ago) and the Huawei SmartAX-MT880, one of the earliest of BSNL’s ADSL modems, finally gave up.
Having changed so many plans these 5.5+ years, BSNL took time to track ownership of the modem. My claim is that the modem is on rental and they should replace it free of cost. They thought that since I am on a high end plan that started recently with a outright modem purchase option, I should purchase a new one. This discussion finally got to a resolution on Tuesday and BSNL could track that they own the old modem. So they replaced it with a new Type-1 modem (one with a single RJ-45 and no wireless.) I have enough network gear to back it up on my side of the connection with wireless connectivity and multiple switch ports. So I opted for the same Type-1 modem. The modem got installed this evening (Wednesday) and that resulted in almost 67 hours of lack of internet connectivity at home.
Once I am back from work, I started configuring my personal network gear to make suitable changes. That story will be on a separate blog post.
Anyway, after this long wait, I am back online at home and cruising back at my top speed.
