Corruption

Everywhere news breaks about corruption. in India how to stop corruption, when asked to our former president Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, he answered only a child can stop the corruption by ensuring his/her parents not to take this way of income. A good teacher also can ensure his students to improve values and morale. A great thought indeed but are we following his advise to make India a corruption free nation that is the biggest question of this hour.

Happy Diwali !

Still the cracker being fired, still there are lights on the balconies and still the diyas twinkling at all doorsteps. So I can still wish you all a very happy diwali.

The biggest gift I got this diwali that today my daughter Shinjini admitted that she missed me this diwali. She also remembered how fun we made last time when we fired the sparklars and other crackers at Delhi. She told me to come soon to take her home. I was completly taken aback at her first time realisation of her 3.5 year old life, that she misses me. Thanks to god and my wife for giving me the most beautiful daughter. Only thing that pains is my parents didn't see how their son became a proud father. I know they are very happy today wherever they are, seeing me as a father how I realised the simple truth how parents sacrifices their own happiness to see the smiling faces of their children. Now I can understand what pains they had taken to made me comfortable amidst unfavourable conditions.

Remembering Sachin Dev Burman on his Death Anniversary - Biography -1


Today is the Death Anniversary of Sachin Dev Burman.Known as "Sachin Karta" to the music connoisseurs of Kolkata, "Burman Dada" as fondly called by the musicians of Bombay, "Shochin Deb Bormon" by the radio listeners of Bangladesh and West Bengal, India, "S.D. Burman" by the film cine goers or simply "SD" by his "jeans" filmi fans -- he created songs that bore the stamp of his inimitable genius, abounding in variety yet retaining the distinction of his style. Drawing from the vast store of folk music-forms and from the classical teachings, as the mood called for, he produced what is known as the Sachin Dev Burman music which is at once rotund, vibrant and unorthodox both in form and substance.

Please have a look at my Durgapuja Album 2010

Finished a book

Yesterday, I finished the Book of one of my favorite author, Dan Brown, The Lost Symbol. I Started as soon as I bought this in the Platform no. 9B just before boarding to my train, and it is worth reading ! It is truly unputdownable.

In “The Lost Symbol”, Dan Brown takes his “symbologist” non-hero Robert Langdon on a high-speed twelve-hour tour around Washington DC. Broadly speaking, it’s like riding pillion on a jetbike driven by a historian screaming conspiratorial travelogue descriptions into your ears like a cricket commentary.

Actually, I think Langdon’s key attribute (his tremendous memory), which is the best thing that Brown created – an historical memory robot able to dredge up every wonky numerological / etymological / mythological fantasy ever imagined, while remaining indifferent to all of them. Even though at one point Brown has a brief chuckle at the Wiki-likes learning of modern students, Langdon himself functions as nothing more complex than a disbelieving walking Wikipedia.

Unfortunately… given how bad a film that first book got turned into, I truly worried at the thought of how bad a film ”The Lost Symbol” promises to be.

Rest in peace

While going to Sealdah station to catch Duronto yesterday, I witnessed a glimpse of a tragic incident. Saw a police van piloting 3 coffin carriage towards the last river of 3 members of a family died of an unfortunate accident in Bhutan last friday. The leisure trip during Durga puja holidays turned fatal for Biman Bhattacharjee, an ex-airforce now working with LIC, 55, his wife Soma, 44 and son Soham, 13 died on the spot when the indica they were travelling to Phoontsholing lost control and fall inside the cliff. The elder son Rohan is struggling for his life in a Bhutan hospital. May the soul of the departed rest in peace and pray for the recovery of Rohan, the only surviving member of the Durganagar based family.
