Thank You Dialog, Ceylon
After many hours/days of waiting and patient deliberation, I got my Singapore cellphone to send a messages to my Twitter contacts.
Even though, not many Twitter uses in my batch.
Everybody uses Facebook.
Less I talk about MobiTel is better for my sanity.
Mind you, these guys charge you for waiting period (of the receiver to answer), too.
If the caller is not responding, do not redial.
Almost half of that is government taxes like waiting in the O.P.D. (Out Patient Department) queue, for doctor to attend to your needs.
This is the only country where customers pay while waiting for a service.
What a discovery for old guy who is waiting for an ornamental coffin.
Must say something about the University, I left on retirement.
The V.C deliberately keeps my money, expecting me to kick the bucket (if he does not understand the meaning of the phrase -is my death) and pocket the left over money.
I am sending a message, saying pay for my coffin and pocket the rest of the money BUT do not come to see my cadaver (my dead body).
I am going to haunt him till his ultimate demise from the present post he is holding.
I won't wish him death, let the Karma takes it effects.
Mind you this was what happened, in the Pension Department in 1970s when my father died.
My mother had to wait for 8 years (my return from UK).
I talked to the director who happened to be a friend of one my old friends (all three are gone and I presented myself in two of their funerals).
What the big idea of visiting the dead?
When the guy/girl (duly signed and certified documents) dies the subject clerk pockets the money at Narahenpita.
The University is no different now.
Late Iver Jennings and E.OE. Pereira must be turning in their graves.
Yes, I will brief them when I finally reach them.
