The quote of the day comes from a Welsh monk<\/a> who has shifted to broadband from a dial-up connection:<\/p>\n Patience is one of the characteristics of monastic life, but even the patience of the Brothers was tested by our slow internet.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n I suspect their patience would also be tested if ICICI Bank called them 600 times a day offering them a loan to buy a toaster, or suchlike. ‘I’m a monk,’ I can imagine one of them telling the call center guy, ‘I don’t need a toaster.’<\/p>\n ‘Are you sure, sir?’ the reply comes. ‘It’s a zero-interest loan.’<\/p>\n ‘I’m sure.’<\/p>\n ‘Okay, what about a free credit card then? We’ll give free add-on cards to your family as well.’<\/p>\n (Link via email from Sanjeev<\/a>.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
