[IAEP] an anecdote from Bhagmalpur

[Sameer Verma]

An interesting anecdote from Bhagmalpur, India
(http://bhagmalpur.wordpress.com)

We just turned on the Internet two weeks ago (thx to Anish Mangal and
Kartik Perisetla), but power has been largely missing. The server and
Wi-Fi paraphernalia lives at my uncle's house. The kids miss the
access a lot. So, eventually they pooled money, bought a liter of
Diesel and showed up at my Uncle's house, asking him to run the
generator, so that they could get on the Internet!

What have we done! :-)

cheers,
Sameer
