It is quite obvious that Airtel 4G
is the first telecom operator to roll out 4G service, because Airtel, the name
itself is enough to tell a person how good the network is. It didn't
need much thoughts when I was asked to write about what I will do if I had
Airtel 4G. Because I always crave for a fast internet connection to fulfil
a dream of someone who compromised almost everything to bring me up, to
give me a life- my
father.
After the cardiac arrest two years back,
the doctor suggested Baba not to travel neither by train nor by flight. Because
the doc thought
Baba’s heart won’t be able to take the stress of the journey. After getting
retired last year, Baba kept telling us that he wants to see his elder brother
for one last time, who lives with his son at Bangalore and already had a foot
in the grave. Our uncle was always Baba’s partner in crime and we grew up
hearing their stories. After Baba’s repeated requests all I was
able to arrange was a picture of uncle and a talk with him over phone.
But that was not going to stop the urge to see him, on the contrary the urge
grew more after hearing his voice. Baba became more restless and started
pressing us to do something.
One day a friend told me about
video call, I was not a technology freak, and I found a ray of hope to make
them see each other. But call it my bad luck, there was not a single telecom
operator who could
offer a smooth video calling experience. Either the face got hazy
or the sound was flickering. I had tried almost all the networks available in Kolkata
but all the time I ended up disappointing Baba. I have seen him cry alone and
trust me it was the worst thing to see for a son.
After I heard of Airtel launching
4G. I thought the days of my father’s misery are finally going to get over. I
trust Airtel blindly and I can easily say that if I had Airtel 4G under my hood
I will make my Baba talk to my uncle over a smooth video call and will see them
both smile with teary eyes. Money is never a matter for me when it comes to
fulfilling my Baba’s dream but it took me quite a few time to gulp down the
news, that Airtel 4G is actually available in the same rate as
3G. I just have to buy a 4G handset, which is easily available in the market
and a 4G sim which Airtel is ready to deliver at my doorstep. Trust me I am
bewildered with the news of Airtel 4G and the facilities they are offering with
it. I don’t know who else are going for it, I am going for it tomorrow and all
I can say on behalf of my father is, thank you Airtel.
