GB to TB

"Hi ! Aka Howz life?"
"Well, good old life. Busy with the job.Morning 10am to 9pm in night."
"Thats gr8! So, how do you spend time during weekends?"
"Watching movies "
"Hey how do you store them? I mean do you still write them into a DVD like you use to do during college days? btw how much memory* do you have now??"
"Yaar jyada nahin .........bas 2 TB.**"
"oh... sudhara nahin tu.."

This killed me... this guy hasn't changed. His once hobby of collecting data has turned to an obsession. I have never heard someone talking in terms of TB for a personal storage.
I bet he would beat anyone in terms of CDs and DVDs he had written till now. You ask him anything- he has it. Ask him for any software- be it small or large, any movie - hindi, eng, old, new, any documentary, picture, TVseries- Friends,Joey even Mahabharata. He hasn't changed. He is still hungry for data. I felt he should be in some data collection company wherein he can satisfy his hunger.I ever doubt if he would ever get satisfied.


*memory- Computer memory in terms of bytes.
**TB - terabyte.
1 TB= 1000 GB(gigabyte)
1 GB= 1000 MG(megabyte)

PS: There are people who do strange things. But these things keep them going.

  2. Dude, you never know, they say data is everything. The best and optimistic prediction i can make is that Aka sold this data to some media company for a multi-million dollar deal and guess what, Aka will have made more bucks than anybody of us can possibly imagine! Way to go Aka
