Internet

Here I am, day 2 of no internet.

It’s funny the things we take for granted, isn’t it? The things upon which we are dependent?

15 years ago, we never would have thought that someday

not being able to connect to a wireless network or Ethernet cord

would put our work on hold

and make us wonder if people would worry that we were okay.

At least, I would never have imagined such a thing 15 years ago.

Or 10.

Or even 5.

But here I am, sitting in the library

Workless

Because a rat chewed through our internet cords. (Only in India)

It’s kind of nice, actually…

It makes you slow down,

Makes you think.

Makes you realize what a hurry we’re in to get things done…

And to probe into the depth of knowledge of the people around you

Rather than the depth of ‘knowledge’ online.

And…I got to read a book.

(note to the reader: don’t worry, our internet has now been fixed and is functioning as properly and efficiently as it is able to in India)
