2 days with internetlessness

Well this is not a tech related post in any way, but I would like to discuss this experience with you. As the nae suggests, I suffered from a serious problem of internetlessness .I had no access to internet at my place for more than 2 days, precisely 56 hours.

This was because of my carelessness that I broke the wire of the adapter of my MTNL modem (for broadband) from where this problem originated. So, as a usual solution, I called up my isp helpline no and registered a complaint there. They said the problem will be attended within 24 hours. I was really horrified by the idea of internetless life for one whole day. I still thought that it would be managed, so I called up my friends and had a chat with them.

Then when I turned to my computer, I realised that the computer is really a boring destination without internet... I tried playing some game like MS Hearts, Minesweeper, Ubuntu Nibbles, Same Gnome, and few others, but no use.. I got fed up from them in a few hours. Then I tried developing some previously left applications my uncle's website and some of my project work. Okay that was still refreshing. Then I started working on some C++/C codes which is required for placement preparations. So finally I passed my whole day

But 24 hour time elapsed and nobody attended my complaint. Then I got really frustrated, I took the number of my area's manager and contacted him and after a few calls I got the actual area manager's number and talked to him. He said he'll get the work done the next day because he didn't have the concerned person at his desk that time. So again started my horrifying 24 hours which were probably the longest hours of my life. It was like imprisoned at home, with no sources to the outer world.

This time I also managed to move out and reached a cyber cafe. I accessed internet for an hour from there. Then I felt a bit relaxed, checked few of my mails and had a chat with a couple of my friends. That day I slept a bit early, because I had nothing to do, though i made more than a dozen of calls to get everything up and running, but still in vain.

The next day the representative from the help center came to check out the problem and he realized that he had brought an incompatible adapter to the modem. So he went back saying that he'll come later. Well that day, i went out with my friends for some usual gc (group chat). i expected that by the time i'll reach home the internet would be up, but he appeared long after I reached home. He replaced the whole modem and adapter set and finally my internet is working, but I must say that this experience was a horrible one...
