CASSETTE XEROX-ing !!

Dedications: To my Asus motherboard, Intel CPU and Foxin UPS.

Power cuts are too frequent in kolkata nowadays.After waking up in the morning around 8 I switched on my PC. Nothing much to do throughout the day,so I made up my mind to start my day watching a film.THE CHILDREN OF HEAVEN ,I decided to watch. Its an Iranian movie,But I have managed to download the subtitles from a site.The first time I saw the movie was on Star Movies where It was a dubbed version of course! I was an hour and few minutes into the movie then suddenly the power went off,gosh! It has been three consecutive days that I cudn't see any film in one go.Not putting much stress on my UPS as well as CPU ,I myself took strain to init 0 my Linux machine.

Having no work to do I went downstairs to "break-my-fast".Again few minutes into my activity,came our electrician. He was called by my baba to fixed up the fan in my bedroom(Mentioning here,I was using a table fan for a couple of days!)

The electrician was an old person around 60 may be.I am not sure.As I finished my tea the power came back.I was glad.Going to my room I took out the new capacitor for the fan which my baba bought a day ago and gave it to him. After taking few minutes he fixed up the problem replacing the capacitor. I was then checking my mails. Mr. Electrician came up to me asking about the facilities of a computer.I told him about e-mail,chatting,watching movies,listening to music.He then enquired whether it required any sort of tax to own it or not. I answered him in negative but made him aware of the monthly internet charge. He then wanted to know whether I could xerox cassette or not.I could not make any sense out of it !After my interrogation and his demonstration,I came to know what he meant.

Then I corrected him that its not cassette but its called CD or Compact Disc. Even convinced him calling it as Disc after along time.Yet I didn't take the pain to further make him understand that the process is not xeroxing , but gave a nod to his answer!
