Having never used the Internet till I retired from my regular JOB in a hotel,
I was intrigued by an article in our daily newspaper about availability of
"Jobs on the Internet".
I went immediately to my nearest Internet Cafe, created an e-mail I.D. and
started to "Google search" for my Pot of Gold - I was confident of my ability
with words and expected that the offers will come pouring-in faster than the
"water in our taps".
To the uninitiated Europeans & Americans, including Canadians ( My cousin
"Born Canadian", please NOTE !!) , allow me to explain that - in most of India,
the availability of Electricity and Water is not to be taken for granted ; there
are actually timings for the supply, except in the very V.I.P. / Exceptionally
Lucky (only on certain days) areas/localities.
We get water for two hours early in the morning and then some more in the
evening. Ditto for electricity , except that it is available for around 20-21 hrs.
OR LESS in 7-8-9 shifts as per the local Engineer's whims & fancies. Even this
BLOG could've been interrupted by the ever-omnipresent Electricity Failure
but for our U.P.S.
I have digressed, haven't I ?
Back to my "search for the HOT & Lucrative INTERNET JOBS :
I received a torrent of mails from all over the world. They "promised me the Moon"
Some promised even more AND said it was "FREE". But, no sooner had I signed up,
they offered Subsidiary Products at prices that an Indian would find Exorbitant -
After all, 1 U.S. $ is still hovering at around 40/41 Indian Rupees. And what people
in America / Europe see as " a couple of Bucks" means " a cool 100 Bucks" for their
Indian cousins / counterparts.
What's more, even after spending the required 3$.U.S., one can not communicate
with the offerer because of "communication gap" - I am still trying to grapple with
terms like SMTP or POP3 - the computer simply refuses to forward my message
AND the e-mail provider's server report lands in my mail-box :
(given up after 5 tries) / (does not like recepient) / (.......................)
I can not even remember all the messages that I get.
BUT, at least, I have managed to book 5 email I.D.s in as many days before luckily
being introduced to BLOGSPOT.
So, now here I am !! With a request to all you decent folks out there, to please help
me with whatever NEW INFORMATION that you can provide. Except that they're
