Wi-Fi Woes - October 6, 2014

A few days ago, I moved to my friend's home in Sahar Village, across from Mumbai's
international airport.  I'm ensconced in the new upstairs room, with private bath, they built,
surrounded by coconut palms and I even have air conditioning.  What I don't have is Wi-Fi.  Theirs is not strong enough to reach through these thick walls to my computer - though someone else nearby certainly has a strong signal. I wish I knew who  & I might negotiate use of it for a fee.  If the steps to my lofty retreat weren't quite so steep, I would just lug my computer up and down when I want Wi-Fi but, now that I am 70, and not grace
personified, I think it's not a wise idea.  I will just head to Vodafone this week & invest in a "dongle" though uploading pictures is not so great.  Bear with me, my blog followers!

    1. It's driving me crazy, Joan. I've invested about a hundred dollars in a Wi-fi gizmo from Vodafone that only works intermittently but, as I'm saving much money being at my friend's home here in Sahar Village as opposed to paying $500 US/ month in Bandra West, I can't really complain. He only let me pay him $100 last month and that was under duress!

  2. We do get so used to our commodities! Hope you find an arrangement soon.

    1. We definitely do get spoiled with our WiFi at home. It's there without our giving it a thought. Of course, we do pay for those conveniences!

  3. No Wi-Fi? Ouch. That'll be an adjustment.

    We had a friend who was 6 weeks away from her new home being built so she stayed at our home (with WI-Fi but no tv in the guest room) and at another friend's house (with a tv in the guest room but no Wi-Fi) She bounced back and forth depending on what she felt like doing each night. Ha!

    Hope you find an easy solution soon.

    1. I can easily do without the TV, Joanna, but I am bereft without WiFi. Funny thing is, they have WiFi downstairs - a very limited version but it doesn't reach upstairs and, even down below, I can barely upload photos. We get pretty spoiled with our conveniences, that's for sure. I am so glad to hear from you. I tried to respond on your last reply to my other blog...at least three times and it disappeared into the ozone.

  5. Use social media along with your resume writing. satta king Social media is becoming popular among many business, and having that skill set - even if solely from a personal posting Play Bazar standpoint - can help you land a position as it shows you potentially have the know-how.
