A station called LUNI Junction

Unfortunately I landed on a station called "LUNI JUNCTION" on my way back to home.
And I was supposed to wait for 6 and half hours there but I did wait for 8 and half hours.

Ahh, that place was like hell.

The place was small and different.
Though it appeared to be small and cute but turned out disasterous.

I just told one person that I was going to Barmer and whole station knew that where I was going.
And they gave me directions and timings which I didn't wished for.

Let me just point out some special features of this station.

1. They don't announce until the train arrives at station.
(Even if the train is running late or anything, they wouldn't announce)

2. The canteens have timings
(I asked one canteen wala that "Chai Milegi" and he replied "Nothing before 3 PM", I was ready to pay double but he repeated the same words again.)
It was 11:30 AM at that time :)

3. Everyone enjoys same level
(The Policeman, canteenwala, a passenger, Railway employee everyone was enjoying same level, and they all had same level of understanding.
They passed time by playing cards with a prize money but when the whole game series was over, they cancelled all prize money and enjoyed a cup of tea each.)

4. No place of privacy
(I needed a place of some privacy but couldn't found any. Even the toilets, waiting rooms and empty offices were locked up.)


Well, I passed my time by eating something, drinking 3 litres of water, 2 cups of tea and 36 grams of Chips and staring at any girl that arrived there !

My Advice : Don't ever get down at LUNI Junction, go to Jodhpur or somewhere else but don't get down there.

600mL Law

I have made many good friends over internet.
This is about one of them.
She is from Ambala and is dietician (actually doing post graduation in Diet).
During our discussion, I asked her that I drink a lot of tea, is there any harm in that?
She answered that tea is good but I need to drink substantial amount of water to cancel the harm effects.
She used a deep medical term which I don't remember.

So I had to do something about drinking more water.

So, here's my idea(600mL Law) to drink more water everyday.

Take a 600mL soft drink bottle and use that for drinking water.

And make sure that whenever you drink water, it must be atleast 600mL.
Wait till your thirst becomes strong enough.
So, whenever you feel thirsty,
take that bottle,
fill it upto the top and
do "top to bottom".

Initially, it might go tough but later you will feel great and this will improve your condition.
Well, now I drink about 10 times a day so it's about 600x10mL = 6 Litres (that's really awesome).

Warning: 600mL law will cause you to pee in large volumes!

How Much MP3s are Enough?

Back in 2005 when I first purchased my PC it had 80GB HDD installed.
I was thinking of 40GB but the difference in price was merely 200 bucks.

I partitioned my HDD making about 20GB for audio songs, and I started collecting.
In about 6 months 20GB was full with old hindi classic songs (believe me, I was a hindi fan @ that time).
I thought this was enough because there would be no more classic songs.

But, when I brought my PC to college, I was changed a lot.
I deleted all hindi songs in single two key combination of (Shift + Delete) and all my love for hindi classic songs was gone.

I started collecting english songs, barely started with a CD with some 104 songs which my brother brought.

Initially, I liked "Somewhere I belong" of Linkin Park. For some it was quite loud but I didn't care.
English songs were rare in my college.
Only some seniors had some good songs.
I hated "BSB" and they had only "BSB".

Then came era of Evanescence, Limp Bizkit, Avril and many more.

Internet was costly and slow at that time.

Then a senior gave me Rammstein. I got mad !!!

In fall of 2007, the Golden Era of 2MBps internet in my college.

I started using it from Feb 2008 and till now the amount of data I have downloaded exceeds 1 TeraByte ( 1024 GB).
Even after cleaning up bad tracks and removing duplicates, I still have 60GBs of songs left.

I don't think I would be able to listen to them all atleast in next 5 years.

Yesterday, I downloaded two more GBs of songs of t.A.T.u (Russian Lesbian Band)

I have english, bulgarian, russian, spanish, ukrainian and even some arabic tracks.

Now, I have got problem of how to keep this.

I am running out of free space for more downloads and I don't want to loose any track.

I don't know what to do.

I guess, I would be deleting other data for creating free space like movies and tv serials.

But, do I really need to have 60GBs of songs???
