The Pros and Cons of my ISP - BSNL
Its been a more than a year since I got broadband. I was getting addictive to the net in around late 2005 and the dial up was skyrocketing the phone bills, thus I went broadband. Since I already had a phone from this particular company called BSNL [Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited] I opted for its broadband service itself. Its service is called ‘Dataone‘ and is mostly Zeroes instead.
The plan I opted for that time was the one that offered a 256 kilobit per second speed and came imposed with a bandwidth limit of 1 GB. I ordered and they came in a week later and installed it. Learnt a thing or two about routers the day they installed it, and then it ran fine, except a few days when due to some issues it’d go down and make me call them out of frustration from addiction.

Heroes
If there is a dark secret about me, its my passion for science fiction. I absolutely adore it and I don’t stand anyone going against a well defined science fiction scenario.

Heroes is a new TV series that started recently as some of you might know. To just get to know about it, there is always the Wikipedia to the rescue.
Anyways, its first arc of the first season completed and I got to say this - It’s awesome. I know some people who hate that word, including me sometimes cause its so hyped up, but there is no better word to say for it at the time!
Heroes, based mainly on comic books like X-Men and others of the Evolutionary kind, is about a group of people who, while living their difficult lives, realize that they have abilities beyond other humans. The main characters are:
