Ahh ... couple of weeks ago i saw a movie , Journey to the center of the earth ... in which they picturized theory to travel to the center of the earth via volcano tubes !!! Well , its not whole ridiculous idea ... may be you don't know , but Nazis too believed that " Hollow Earth " concept and firmly believed that there is hidden world beneath the world on the surface of the earth !!! Even some peoples claim that , Hitler didn't killed him self , the guy that Allied forces found was dummy of him and he was successfully able to escape to that hidden world ... ( ahh ... paranoids ... they even can see him walking at the time square !!! ) ...

Actually the journey that i am talking about doesn't lead to the center of earth ... ( gasp , i wish it could lead me there so i can skip my classes for a while or i can give good excuse to my professor for submitting my project report late .... ) ... it was just a tiny tunnel that i always need to pass near exit 59 of route 15 ... When i got new license and took car by my self for the first time to my school ... i was a bit of scared ... i thought i will be suffocated to death in this tunnel ... actually it remind me one old movie of Sylvester "rocky" Stallone .... " day light " , in which they showed how he rescues people from massive accident in a busy tunnel !!! ( that movie was super flop though ) ... i thought its gonna be my end ... coz this tunnel was not even big like that shown in that movie .. damn ... But after couple of times i passed thought that tunnel now i am comfortable with it ... they call it .. "Heroes' tunnel" ... ( don't ask me why ... ) ...


The tunnel from far ...



I am indside !!





During maintenance work in tunnel , they closed one entrance and diverted both incoming and outgoing traffic through only one line !!! ... ( Do i need to say , because of that i got stuck near half an hour at night of 10 pm ?? )






May the force be with us ....


Like many other students , I also don't live on campus , and so i have to driver about 35 miles when ever i have classes ... ( luckily i have taken classes only on monday and wednesday so its not a big deal ) ... but this driving is a little fun and little boring part too ....

When weather is good and my fav. radio station is playing nice songs , i love to drive ... but i hate it really when its heavy raining or super snowing ... i mean , on that time instead of enjoying i have to be more careful because roads get risky during those times .... also , i really hate these low frequency FMs when i can't signals properly when i m about 15 miles closer to you college , so those 15 miles i have to switch over another station / stations ... because others are pretty boring :( ...

And perhaps the worst part is getting stuck on traffic jam on highway ... if you are proude citizen of some ultra metropoliten cities like NewYork or Las Vegas then , you might be habituated with jams .. but since my city is very small .. ( the city's welcome sign board says it has only 17K population !! ) .. it makes me a bit nervous .... god , i really hate it ... and i wish , how great it would be if my car can fly just like Sci-Fi movies ..... by the way i loved star wars , hmm .. may be its my "source" of inspiration !!! ... but unfortunately , we are still using gasoline as fuel and since its prices doesn't seem to be gonna reduce soon , i think i have to wait for about 20/30 years more till they find some other means to dump people from one place to another .. may be something like " teleportation " ... huh ??? ... ah , just a day dream , coz of games i guess ...

here is the snapshot that i tool during my eternal journey back to home !!!





its near , exit 54 ... well , there was whole lane jammed from exit 53 to 54 .. about more then a mile , like you can see ... i got stuck here for about 45 mins ... ah ... being a poisitive guy , instead of saying being stuck there , i would like to say , i got plenty of free and plesent time to enjoy nature's beauty around me on that exists !!! but i hope that i face it again ... but being commuter i know that its gonna happen again and soon !?!?

njoy ...
