8734. 8735 in 03h15m

Carrier Pigeon WW-II
It's been 8734 days, but I'm (you,too?) yet to become 'evolutionary stable'. Discounting the innocenctmoronic state of childhood and the exciting explorations of adolescence i.e. cricket, magnetism, gems, etc, its still a chunky period in my(our?) life.

Something that forthright synonymies instability is the internet. Every time there's a disconnection, life grinds to a halt. SOP is to flamboyantly curse MTNL (my ISP), then walk randomly around the room, then walk randomly around the house and the balcony, consider picking up some paper books - without committing to the thought, consider the calls of a hungry belly - without committing to the kitchen, and finally of introspection [ahem]. How sad is that!

Seeing the dreadful scene of my disconnections, have asked Deepak (in Poland) to send me a few hundred megs of data through carrier pigeons. Let's see if he's resourceful enough. Sweet tricks of the old world.
