My internet usage has been on the rise lately, I do not know why. Bills for the past 3 months from my ISP ( MTNL ) read figures as 3320, 2399 and 2733.
A couple of days back, I received an hour long lecture (!) from my mother, who wants to disconnect the internet because apparently, she thinks I do a lot of casual stuff online, which makes no sense and is of no use either.
But what she doesn’t understand is, there are a lot of things online that I am involved in. Such as looking for some business opportunites, managing and handling ExperTrio Web Services, content management for IndiaGSM ( site / forum / blog ). Not only this, but I also write for 3 other blogs, subscribe to 37 RSS feeds to keep myself updated with technology stuff.
It isn’t shocking to know that I have more friends online, than I know people in person in the real world. My yahoo friends list reads 176 friends so far, of which “mama pendse” is the only bot.
I’m active on about 5 forums, where I get to learn a lot too. However, it is hard to explain all this to my parents.
I’m really looking forward to finding some work for myself in the coming days.
