It was a wonderful break after the exams and I really enjoyed and relaxed. I went home on Thursay after the exams got over. Friday I celebrated Eid with Sabeel and today after Birthday celebration of my cousine Vrinda, I’m in a very happy and jolly mood. I left college at 5 pm and reched home by 8. Every time I go home, I used to listen to my favorite hindi songs. I had recorded a 90 casette with my favorite songs [Saajan, 1942 a love story, Dilse, Bombay ...]. I used to play this casette minimum 2 to 3 times. Some time back when the type recorder was not in good condition the casette got its toll, it got wringles but still could play. This time I was a sort of trouble shoot guy, I opened up the case and played with it and it almost become useless, but now it plays any how Now I am not going to record any casettes , It’s CDs now ! I got my first CD of songs from Dilpu [I converted the mp3's to ogg, which is a free format, though it took 1MB more for each song for same qulaity (if we convert from wav ,ogg has better compression and quality), freedom is important than convenience!]

Then my neighbor wanted to set their cable channels, they were not getting all the channels. The remote wasn’t that user-friendly, with some effort of trial and error I found out were they had the search opton. After getting all the channels they want all the Malli channels in stating [1, 2 ...]. So I had to set it manually [Though I tried to check for a swap option, I couldn't find any]. Also I set a child lock on F TV

Then my uncle Bose wanted to setup the VCR, it was not automatically detected in TV/Video mode. So I tried to search and got it in UHF band. It was tough as the language was not English that time. I had the manul with me and somehow I manged to set it to English.

I’ll write about these later

Gotta go now
