Q1           Is it possible to get a BSNL SIM cardin Dubai?

Gopala Krishnan,FormerAsst. General Manager, Retired at Bharat Sanchar Nigam 
Limited (BSNL)Just now

Like Airtel, thisfacility is not with BSNL. Even Airtel now with one family one 
bill plan provides local S I Ms inIndia itself which will be automatically 
activated when one come from Dubai orany foreign country go India. Through out 
their stay this SIM can beused for all Indian calls
This facility isvery useful so that when one come from foreign country, he can 
intimate his landing,coming out etc to relatives. Similarly about luggage 
accepting, security check completedetc. when leaving. A small amount is charged 
as monthly rental.
I have got such an airtel SIM for my son who is an NRE.

The SIM if used inforeign countries, the charges will be much more. BSNL can 
also make sucharrangements. In fact with more towers those come from foreign 
countries cantalk to persons in remote areas with BSNL SIM.

There,

Doctor: it will take around 5000 rs to treat her (a bigdeal for a 17 year kid)

Me: I will arrangethe money you start her operation.

Q3           What is the most underrated inventionof all time?

A3           RI Shohag 2h

Many thousands ofyears ago, a bearded man ran into a narrow cave.He shook the 
snow off theanimal skins that covered him.

Outside, the windhowled, pushing the cold, burning air through the cavern in a 
steady gust, thesnow moving horizontally in the wind.

He crawled inside,an armful of twigs and bushes at his side.

Huddled in acorner, his family clung to each other, all of them shivering, 
stiff, theirbodies close to the physical limit of tolerance for the cold, 
severehypothermia was just minutes away for their youngest child.

Struggling, he pressed the bush into a heap.

He placed a chosenstick on another set of sticks positioned one above the 
other, fitting it,holding the sticks down, inserted a thin cylindrical branch 
between them,placed the palms of his hands on either side and began to press 
them indifferent directions. opposite in quick bursts. .

He'd manageda fire once before, months ago. But it was the only time he 
intentionallyachieved this.

He started to spin.Hisfamily watched, desperately hoping for warmth.

Slowly, slowly butsurely, the smoke began to emerge.A small red dot began to 
form.

Seeing this, heswung the staff harder, his arms burning with the effort.The dot 
grew brighterand brighter.

And just as the small glowing dot is about to convertinto a small flame, a gust 
of wind from the blizzard changes the air in thecave, blowing it away.

He looked up, hisyoungest daughter's eyes were closed, lips blue.He started 
working on it again.

His arms burned, hespun as fast as he could.

A red dot formed.Hisfamily watching, waiting.

Brighter, brighter,brighter.

And finallyA small fire is born.

He slowly placessmall bushes around it.

He shields the firewith his body, preventing pulses of air from touching him.

Finally, when hegathers the family around the fire, they huddle together, 
soaking up the life-savingheat, saved from death only because he managed to 
create that fire.
