Long Live Wireless

I'm writing this post sitting in Kerala Superfast Express, Train No: 2625, S9 coach. We are somewhere between Trichur and Palakkad. While the train is zipping through at 80 km/hr, I can see lots of coconut trees, bright green paddy fields and loads of children returning from school.

No, the train is not Wi-Fi enabled yet! Its a reliance wireless access card. Well, hey I can see paddy fields, coconut trees and the beautiful river that runs right by the side of the tracks.

Long live wireless!

Hey,

I also blogged throughout my Vapi (Gujarat) train journey last Saturday. Also in the car from Rajkot to Ahmedabad to Surat to Vapi. (No, I wasn't driving!!!)

It's amazing, isn't it?

Arzan Wadia, from Mumbai Metroblogging, wrote in one of his posts that he blogged from a airplane from over the north pole. He was on wi-fi, of course.

Will you be back in Mumbai before you leave?

And dear God, spare me from reading posts on wi-fi enabled toilet-seats next!

And I see you stole my book :( Inspite of you not liking it!

reHey Gaurav,

Well it is quite amazing to have connectivity in the craziest places...

But North Pole, thats awsome!

Ramya,

I had to ration things equally between others! I'm sure you would not have liked the toy car...

wow sounds nice. yea wireless zindabad. btw if u comin to NY in august, the weathers gonna be just like India. Fall will start and u'll see the beautiful colors of the nature. But in a month or two, winter will start and you'll have to drag yourself everywhere in a giant winter coat. I hate this part of living in the NY. Btw NYU sounds cool.. wot major wot course..?
