April 13, 2009, Day 3 – Kolkata
April 13, 2009, Day 3 - Kolkata:
Falakunama Express arrived on time at Howrah. My uncle's driver, Mandal-da, was there to pick us up and we drove actoss the old Howrah bridge to Park Street where my uncle and aunt have a flat.
I had saved my previous two emailed posts as I was getting an intermittent signal in the train near Kharagpur, my old college. At my uncle's flat. I tried connecting and received a rude shock. GPRS no longer worked! That is when I realised that what I had taken for dropped connections on the train was actually the loss of GPRS when I entered West Bengal.
I spent a frantic hour trying to figure out what was wrong. My aunt didn't have a BSNL directory and I went looking for a PCO who might be able to at least give me the local BSNL Call Center number. I did get the number but I somehow kept getting the Karnataka call center instead of Bengal. Finally gave up in disgust and went for a shower morosely contemplating a week without internet access. Till we crossed back in to Odissa again.
After my shower I found that GPRS service had been restored! Well, I am not complaining!
I am not sure what will happen when we cross over from West Bengal in to Sikim tomorrow morning but I am keeping my fingers crossed. If that happens I will continue to post but they wull appear in a rush when I get my connection back in Odissa.
