My Last Slam

I really left the idea of writing slam after 12th.

It looks like wasting your words hoping someone would read it.
For some it was the only source of getting girls' number.

But, I've seen some slams where girls have give wrong numbers! (huh intelligent babes)

Someone asked me to write slam for her and I couldn't refuse.
So, instead of writing, I did this. :)

I wasted 3 hours and my friend's 5 magazines on this.

living in Nagpur

Well, I normally change my place every 4 year or so and this time it's Nagpur.

Located in so called center of India, it's not actually a great center!

I moved here on 2nd July, thinking of doing something like earning
money for myself.

After having lost all hopes of my job @ "the toughest one" of my
college, I tried for jobs.

Even after getting selected through campus interviews in one of the
cool companies I was looking for job.

I tried for BPO, KPO, Sales Executive and I don't know what all.
Even for teaching! (Teaching is a good profession but I am not good at it)

All doors were looking like closed.

But, loose no hope.

I went to the company, joined with all other excellent folks however

at a reduced pay of course.

4 months went well, great experience of learning, loving what you

hated the most.

I resigned on 30th October from my first job.

Seriously, the company for which others were dying to get, I resigned from it.

My resignation gave me just 2 days of leave. ;)

I am back at job of creating something out of some new things.

It's really cool, I am working on something which I can't disclose and

no-one knows about it :)

Oh, I went off the topic.

Nagpur, not a much happening city actually.

It's hot here (just the weather).
Only some places of enjoyment.
Weird transportation system.

Even after that, I like Nagpur coz of some cool persons I've met here. ;)

I would leave this place soon but it will always be in my list of
cities I've been to.

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???

Wanna Make Wall-E of your Own

Well, I love Pixar and their movies like billion other people on this Earth.


I wanted to make a Wall E Cabinet of my own but I lacked those Workshop skills (coz my instructor told me that "you computer/IT students don't need to learn these", and he did all the assignments for us).

But, russians are hell of engineers !

If you want to make a Wall E for your own, here is the link

http://casemods.ru/section10/item490/

Since it's in russian, you will need online tools such as Google Translator ( http://translate.google.com/translate_t?hl=en# ) or Yahoo Babefish ( http://babelfish.yahoo.com/?fr=avbbf-us ). I assume that you know how to use these tools.

It's a complete guide to make Wall E Cabinet. From steel sheets cutting to your whole Wall E. It has pics of every procedure.

So far as we can tell, this robotic PC even opens up his own optical drive, and he can also send out love letters to one "Eeeevvvaaaaa" without human intervention. A thing of beauty, no?

Update: The link is sometimes down. Try opening it later.

The World in one picture

Well, try to identify as many as you can in this picture.

I could only identify 19 out of these.

If you could identify more than that, I guess you have nice general knowledge.

best of luck

Who is educated? English Babu or Hindi Guy

Last December, when I was traveling from Jodhpur to Nagpur, I witnessed a usual happening but the effects were unusual.

I believe all Indians must have faced this. The dabbawala / caterer in the train was selling dinner packs at Rs. 45. It's more than the price fixed by the Rail Ministry but who cares for extra 3 bucks.

I like many others had ordered the food and paid 45 bucks for that. But, there were two people who were unhappy with this. I appreciate their effort.

The Hindi Guy and the English Guy.

The HINDI guy called the TTE and discussed this matter with him but TTE didn't paid much attention because he was speaking in HINDI.

What the heck? In Hindustan where national language is HINDI, no body pays attention to you just because you speak HINDI.

The TTE went away ignoring the HINDI guy.

On the other side of me, there was this ENGLISH guy, I am only guessing but this guy was a service man in Armed forces because it was there in his style of speaking. He translated the whole HINDI guy's words with poor grammar into ENGLISH and TTE was paying attention to him. This time TTE took action, he called the caterer and ordered him to say sorry and return 3 bucks. Then the ENGLISH guy showed off that 3 bucks didn't concern him.

I guess this type of incidents didn't happen only in trains. Everywhere in India, these kinds of things happen. I am not anti-ENGLISH, it's required in profession and you should know that but still it can't be our first language.

People around me use ENGLISH to impress others, to show that they are well educated.
How could anyone be well educated if he/she doesn't have a command over his/her national language?
They show off using this foreign language. And the accent thing is like "Sone pe Suhaga". They tilt their mouth and try different accents but they don't know that this shows.

This is not good.
You will have to come back to HINDI when you are sad, when you cry, when you want to show your real emotions.

My suggestion: Use ENGLISH only in professional things and if other party's first language is ENGLISH. Except those, use HINDI it's accepted everywhere in India. We are the only one who will have to preserve HINDI.
