I’m eventually back in India. The key word here is not finally, but eventually!

I’ve discovered one good thing about staying at the apartment as compared to the posh hotel. Of course there are more than one not-so-good points which I have in mind – no posh and excellent service, lack of pool and spa facilities and no more “good” food.

For one thing, I get to save more, since I have a caretaker here, and he’s able to cook budget fare. It’s all local cuisine, so it’s something I still need to get used to. But it’s very simple, and definitely easy on the wallet.

The best part is … there are many home owners here who have internet connection. For some reason, having internet access is not part of the deal here. It’s available in the hotel, but we have to pay a premium for it. Anyway, where there are home users, there’s bound to be wifi, and where there is wifi, there’s a fair chance that one of two will be unsecured.

Well, it’s not very right of me to be doing this, but well, what else is there for me to do? Besides, it’s not like I am downloading anything which I shouldn’t be doing in the first place; I don’t install those kind of software in company property anyway, so that’s final.

My only concern right now is of security. There are many reasons why there are unsecured access points, one of which is ignorance. Then there are the honeypots, which should be avoided at all costs. I don’t do internet backing unless I’m back at home, so that’s not an issue. I still need to check my e-mails, so even though I’m entering my passwords, I’m a little skeptical. Who knows what lurks on the other side, snooping around …
