Hello vs One Night @ Call Center

It's sad to see how bollywood masala flicks make a mess out of a decent novel. When i read One Night @ Call Center by Chetan Bhagat, it was really unputdownable. The way the story unfolds, the light in which relationships are shown, the catchy young easy flowing language, the sharp sense of humour, the novel was really awesome. Even the really long portion where God gives you some useful gyaan, it seems more like your best friend talking than some father of some church or some monks.

But what we see in the movie?

Although i have seen really a small portion of the film (from where Vroom throws stone at the Cola hoarding to the end), the rotten smell of a bad film comes out from every possible scene. The screenplay is childish, the dialogs are rotten, the sharp humor is just replaced by poor wannabe jokes, and everybody acts so stupid that the story itself is destroyed. Great dialogs and scenes are totally wiped out. The act of rescuing themselves with the help of dupattas have been replaced, the bike stunt at the end is completely removed even the fantastic stuff with MS Word was also wiped away. Probably the filmmakers thought all of us are more like buffoons like Bakshi.

Although I have missed almost all the songs of the film, but as i have listened to the album, i can assure you that they are equally bad. And just imagine the scene where Chetan Bhagat the author and God herself dancing in an ITEM NUMBER!!!! OMG!!!!!!

In summery the movie was PAINFUL and complete injustice... well in fact, CHEATING to all the people like me who loved the novel One Night @ Call Center by Chetan Bhagat and had a lot of expectation.

The time is really bad for me. Nothing is working out as planned. ;)

আজি নবমী নিশি --- আর পোহাইও না

পুজো পুজো পুজো --- হয়ে গেল পুজো...
কাল সকালেই উঠে যাবে সঅব আইস্‌ক্রীম, রোল, ফুচকার স্টল। পড়ে থাকবে মাঠ জুড়ে শালপাতা আর আইসক্রীমের বাটি। ড্যাং ড্যা ড্যা ড্যাং ড্যাড্যাং ড্যাড্যাং ড্যাং ড্যাড্যাং ড্যাং শব্দ করে ঢাকও জানিয়ে দেবে মা এবার বিদায় নেবেন। আমরা তলানি পর্যন্ত আনন্দ চেটেপুটে সাফ করার জন্য কাল দশমীর সকালেও বন্ধুরা একজোটে মেতে উঠব আবার।

দেখব, নর্থল্যান্ডের নাচের আসরে কত জুনিয়র দের ভীড়। চোখের ভাষায় রচিত হচ্ছে আরো কত নতুন মহা কাব্য। কার চোখের দিকে তাকিয়েই কার নাচের ছন্দ পাচ্ছে নতুন জোয়ার। কেউবা নিরাশ হয়ে পাশে সরে এসে বলছে, "ড্যান্সিং ইজ্‌ন্‌ট মাই কাপ অব টী"। গল্পটা সেই এক ই থাকবে... কিন্তু মুখগুলো যাবে পালটে। আমরা পাশে সরে এসে দাঁড়িয়ে দেখব। বুঝতেও পারব না কখন আমাদের জায়গায় নতুনেরা লিখে চলেছে সেই এক ই আখ্যান।

নবমীর শেষ দুপুর

ঠিক এই সময়টাতেই মনটা খারাপ হয়ে যায়। নবমীর শেষ দুপুরে, গুরুভোজনের রেশ নিয়ে উঠে আসা একটা আলতো ঢেকুর তুলে যখন জানালার ধারে বা ছাদে গিয়ে দাঁড়াই, আর পাড়ার পূজামন্ডপ থেকে ভেসে আসে কোন সুপরিচিত হিন্দী গানের সুর... ঠিক তখনই একরাশ বিষাদ যেন ঘিরে ধরে। মনে পড়ে যায়, এই গান, এই ঢেকুর, এই যে একটুপর বন্ধু-বান্ধবীদের সঙ্গে বেরব... যাদের অনেকের সঙ্গেই দেখা হল ঠিক একটি বছর পরে... বা যাদের সঙ্গে আদৌ আগে দেখা হয়নি - এবারই প্রথম আলাপ, এই যে তিন-চার দিন সব ভুলে থাকা, যাবতীয় ফ্রাস্ট্রেশানকে দূরে সরিয়ে রেখে সবার সঙ্গে একই আনন্দে মেতে ওঠা, আজই তার শেষ দিন। আজই শেষ নিশ্চিন্তে পুজোসংখ্যা নিয়ে বসে আছি, আজই শেষ বন্ধুদের সাথে ঠাকুর দেখতে বেরোব। কাল থেকে আবার সব ঘিরে ধরবে...

কাল থেকেই শুরু একবছরের অপেক্ষার...

ঠিক এই সময়টাতেই, মনটা তাই বড্ড খারাপ হয়ে যায়।

আকাশ আর মাটির মাঝখানে - দ্বিতীয় পর্ব

আজও আমি শুয়ে আছি
আকাশ আর মাটির মাঝখানে
শুয়ে শুয়ে ভাবছি... ...

এমন সময় কে যেন হাঁক দিল,
“মাঝখানে ঝুলছিস কে বে?”

আমি বললাম, “ডিস্‌টার্ব কোরো না...
তুমি কি দেখছ না, আমি উপলব্ধি করছি,
দুঃখীর দুঃখ;
আর্তের আর্তি?
শোষিত, অবহেলিত, নিপীড়িত, নিষ্পেষিত...
মানুষের কান্না আমায় কাঁদাচ্ছে?
আর ভীষণভাবে ভাবাচ্ছে?”

সে বলল, “চোপ্‌ বে... আমরা শালা হেদিয়ে মরছি,
আর উনি হেলিকপ্টারে বসে বসে পরিদর্শন করছেন
আর ফ্ল্যাজেলেশন মাড়াচ্ছেন...”

আমাকে কিছু বলার সুযোগ না দিয়েই সে বলে চলল...
“শালা... ত্রিশঙ্কু হয়ে ঝুলে না থেকে সাহস থাকে তো নিচে মাটিতে নাম
ভাল করে বুঝে নে ঠিক কতটা ধানে কতটা চাল হয়।
দ্যাখ ঠিক কত রকম উপায়ে বেঁচে থাকা যায়।

আর যদি সাহস না থাকে তো একেবারে আকাশেই চলে যা... চল্‌ ফোট্‌...
আল্‌গা সান্ত্বনার দরকার নেই আমাদের।”

আমি তখন যুক্তি খুঁজি এড়িয়ে চলার।
দোহাই দিই সীমিত ক্ষমতার
বুঝিয়ে বলি, ঠিক কী কী কারণে আমার পক্ষে কিছু করা সম্ভব নয়।

শুনে সে হাসতে থাকে। আর বলে,
“থাক থাক, তোর ফুটো কেরদানি আমার জানা আছে...
তুই বরং মিনারেল ওয়াটারে চুমুক দিতে দিতে
আড়চোখে একবার রাস্তায় পড়ে থাকা অসুস্থ ভিখারীটার দিকে তাকিয়ে
বন্ধুকে বুঝিয়ে বল, ঠিক কী কী কারণে কলকাতার সাবঅল্টার্ণদের এই দূর্দশা।”

আকাশ আর মাটির মাঝখানে - প্রথম পর্ব

শেষ

এমনি করেই জানি শেষ হয়ে যাবে বাঁচার ইচ্ছেটাও
এমনি করেই জানি শেষ হবে জীবনটাই;
“দেখা হয়ে বড্ড ভালো লাগলো,
রাত-ও হল বেশ; আজ তবে যাই?”

রাত অনেক হল... ফিরতে অলরেডি লেট
"এগিয়ে দিতে হবে না, কাছেই তো পার্কের গেট।
রিক্সা পেয়ে যাব তাড়াতাড়িই...
...ডোন্ট ওরি।"

কয়েক মুহূর্ত না হয় কমই পেলে আমায়...
কালের সমূদ্রমাঝে গুটিকয় মুহূর্ত-নিচয়।

The Jumblies - Edward Lear

They went to sea in a Sieve, they did,
in a Sieve they went to sea:
in spite of all their friends could say,
on a winter's morn, on a stormy day,

in a Sieve they went to sea!
And when the Sieve turned round and round,
and everyone cried, 'You'll all be drowned!'
they called aloud, 'Our Sieve ain't big,
but we don't care a button! We don't care a fig!
In a Sieve we'll go to sea!'



Far and few, far and few,
are the lands where the Jumblies live;
their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
and they went to sea in a Sieve.


They sailed away in a Sieve, they did,

in a Sieve they sailed so fast,
with only a beautiful pea-green veil
tied with a riband by way of a sail,
to a small tobacco-pipe mast;
and everyone said, who saw them go,
'O won't they be soon upset, you know!

For the sky is dark and the voyage is long,
and happen what may, it's extremely wrong
in a Sieve to sail so fast!'
Far and few, far and few,
are the lands where the Jumblies live;
their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
and they went to sea in a Sieve.


The water it soon came in, it did,
the water it soon came in;
so to keep them dry, they wrapped their feet
in a pinky paper all folded neat,
and they fastened it down with a pin.
And they passed the night in a crockery-jar,
and each of them said, 'How wise we are!
Though the sky be dark, and the voyage be long,
yet we never can think we were rash or wrong,
while round in our Sieve we spin!'

Far and few, far and few,
are the lands where the Jumblies live;
their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
and they went to sea in a Sieve.


And all night long they sailed away;

and when the sun went down,
they whistled and warbled a moony song
to the echoing sound of a coppery gong,
in the shade of the mountains brown.
'O Timballoo! How happy we are,
when we live in a Sieve and a crockery-jar,

and all night long in the moonlight pale,
we sail away with a pea-green sail,
in the shade of the mountains brown!'
Far and few, far and few,
are the lands where the Jumblies live;
their heads are green, and their hands are blue,

and they went to sea in a Sieve.

They sailed to the Western Sea,they did,
to a land all covered with trees,
and they bought an Owl, and a useful Cart,
and a pound of Rice and a Cranberry Tart,
and a hive of silvery Bees.
And they bought a Pig, and some green Jackdaws,
and a lovely Monkey with lollipop paws,
and forty bottles of Ring-Bo-Ree,
and no end of Stilton Cheese.
Far and few, far and few,
are the lands where the Jumblics live;
their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
and they went to sea in a Sieve.

And in twenty years they all came back,
in twenty years or more,
and everyone said, 'How tall they've grown!
For they've been to the lakes, and the Torrible Zone,
And the hills of the Chankly Bore';
and they drank their health, and gave them a feast
of dumplings made of beautiful yeast;
and everyone said, 'If only we live,
we too will go to sea in a Sieve,
to the hills of the Chankly Bore!'

Far and few, far and few,
are the lands where the Jumblies live;
their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
and they went to sea in a Sieve.

মনখারাপের বিকেলবেলায়

মনখারাপের বিকেলবেলায় আকাশ তখন কাঁদছিল
একটুখানি ভেজার জন্য সাধছিল।

কিন্তু আমি যাইনি তখন, আমার তখন কাজ ছিল।
স্বপ্নগুলো বুকের ভেতর বাজছিল।

"শিশিরগুলো জমিয়ে রেখো", বলেছিলাম আকাশকে
দমিয়ে রেখে মনেই ইচ্ছা-বাতাসকে।

দিনের শেষে সন্ধ্যা নামে, দুচোখ তখন কাঁদছিল,
একটুখানি ভেজার বড় সাধ ছিল।

One day passed

One day have passed. Politicians are again making promises...

Delhi Blasts: How many needs to die before it's "too late"?

As of now, at least 18 people have died and nearly 90 others injured in the New Delhi serial blasts (source: NDTV). First Hydrabad, then Jaipur, next Ahmadabad and now it is Delhi again. Same type of blasts, same type of equipments and may be done by the same group too. And home ministry is saying, "All are low intensity blasts." Wow!!!

Yes, I do feel India is becoming more and more a soft target for the terrorism. If the IB, and other intelligence organizations of the central govt. were doing their duties how these things happen I don't know. Irresponsible. What else can I call the officials? Taking grands of money (take into account the hike after 6th pay commission also) and not doing their duty. I know it is a lot more easier to say than do, but yet, it is the officials and police upon whom we rely in terms of security. And govt. is bound to provide it's citizens a secure life which possibly it doesn't. There is irresponsibility in terms of investigation and in terms of prosecutions also. After these kinds of heinous events, this is the very image of the govt. that is projected upon common citizens like me.

The second thing is, I feel, Indians are very much akin in escaping the rules. We freely enter the station through the exits, freely drop garbage in wherever we can, freely encourage auto rickshaws to break the traffic rules, freely smoke in "No Smoking" railway compartments and petrol pumps, freely take articles in the train which is prohibited, freely bend the law wherever we can.


And here in India we find lobbyists working for even the most dreaded extremists and criminals. The kind heart of our netas cry for ALL. We heard UP leaders working hard for lifting the ban upon SIMI. We saw rallys in favour of the mercy petition of Md. Afzal. Treating the people of India as vote banks and dividing them in sects, casts, religions and playing ill schemes... how long these will go on?

I saw two friends in a park which seemed to me the Paalki Bazaar rooftop, the boy and the girl both was blown in a blast. Two policemen was dragging the boy in blue shirt in one side and four other people was taking the girl with blue denim and yellow kurti in the opposite side. There was blood all over the girl's face and shoulder and blood was dripping all over the concrete floor.

I could have been in Delhi right now if things didn't get messed up a few days back. I could have taken the M.Tech course at JNU... and I could have been one among the list. But as long as we are safe we should just sit and enjoy the news in the TV during the breaks of our favorite soap opera. But who knows? May be it's our city next in the list to be blown...

I know this is the very things they want to achieve. To inject panic in our heart. To make us feel insecure all the way. But what we need to do is react not get panicked.

Please....

1. Try to follow the rules all the way. Rules are designed to help and protect us. You do not become a HERO when you break the rules.
2. Please react when the man next to you lights up a cigarette in a rail compartment. Please say you are having problem in it. Please react when you see wrongs are being done. If we all become like Satyendra Dubey, no more Satyendra Dubey will get killed. Even now, I strongly feel most of us are noble by heart. Just show externally what you feel internally. Don't keep mum.
   
3. Please help your fellow citizen when he/she needs it. Please don't try to avoid situations.
4. Please do not get panicked and spread panic and rumors.

We all, if we act together, can keep India a safe and secure place to live.

Jai Hind.

নির্ঝরের স্বপ্নভঙ্গ - রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর

আজি এ প্রভাতে রবির কর
কেমনে পশিল প্রাণের 'পর,
কেমনে পশিল গুহার আঁধারে প্রভাতপাখির গান!
না জানি কেন রে এতদিন পরে জাগিয়া উঠিল প্রাণ।
জাগিয়া উঠেছে প্রাণ,
ওরে উথলি উঠেছে বারি,
ওরে প্রাণের বাসনা প্রাণের আবেগ রুধিয়া রাখিতে নারি।
থর থর করি কাঁপিছে ভূধর,
শিলা রাশি রাশি পড়িছে খসে,
ফুলিয়া ফুলিয়া ফেনিল সলিল
গরজি উঠিছে দারুণ রোষে।
হেথায় হোথায় পাগলের প্রায়
ঘুরিয়া ঘুরিয়া মাতিয়া বেড়ায়--

বাহিরিতে চায়, দেখিতে না পায় কোথায় কারার দ্বার।
কেন রে বিধাতা পাষাণ হেন,
চারি দিকে তার বাঁধন কেন!
ভাঙ্ রে হৃদয়, ভাঙ্ রে বাঁধন,
সাধ্ রে আজিকে প্রাণের সাধন,
লহরীর 'পরে লহরী তুলিয়া
আঘাতের 'পরে আঘাত কর্।
মাতিয়া যখন উঠেছে পরান
কিসের আঁধার, কিসের পাষাণ!
উথলি যখন উঠেছে বাসনা
জগতে তখন কিসের ডর!

আমি ঢালিব করুণাধারা,
আমি ভাঙিব পাষাণকারা,
আমি জগৎ প্লাবিয়া বেড়াব গাহিয়া
আকুল পাগল-পারা।
কেশ এলাইয়া, ফুল কুড়াইয়া,
রামধনু-আঁকা পাখা উড়াইয়া,
রবির কিরণে হাসি ছড়াইয়া দিব রে পরাণ ঢালি।
শিখর হইতে শিখরে ছুটিব,
ভূধর হইতে ভূধরে লুটিব,
হেসে খলখল গেয়ে কলকল তালে তালে দিব তালি।
এত কথা আছে, এত গান আছে, এত প্রাণ আছে মোর,
এত সুখ আছে, এত সাধ আছে-- প্রাণ হয়ে আছে ভোর।।

কী জানি কী হল আজি, জাগিয়া উঠিল প্রাণ--
দূর হতে শুনি যেন মহাসাগরের গান।
ওরে, চারিদেকে মোর
এ কী কারাগার ঘোর--
ভাঙ্ ভাঙ্ ভাঙ্ কারা, আঘাতে আঘাত কর্।
ওরে আজ কী গান গেয়েছে পাখি,
এসেছে রবির কর।।

Close Your Eyes

Close your eyes, and think some thing beyond. Think something new that you never thought before. Let your imagination fly and you fly as well with her. In places you never gone before... in things that never are.

What do you see?

It's a lot fun... believe me... just do it. Just close your eyes and shut your mind inside and let it be at it wants to be. Let your mind think freely and you type what you see.

Ok I am testing it now...

I see a long road. With high rises in both of the sides (probably an effect of Mafia), This is a kind of flyover. At one side there are stretch of high rises and high rises; the other side can not be seen. I see a man, slim, medium height with red-black check full sleeve shirt and a black formal trouser running on the flyover. There is no cars...

Now i see that man (and that road) beside a grassy field, the man is running and running... only the back side of the man can be seen; i can not see his face.

The running is more like a exercise kind of thing than running for some cause. The man is quite agile.

The man stops near a old house... very old in deed with green door... he enters it.

Aaaha... My Broadband is back again! And i am again up with my diary-type posts. Ok I have very very limited tim. I need to get out of my room and reach there 6 pm.

Mafia is a cool game when the realistic behavior matters. You can roam around a city, use trains or trams, can walk into place or in other times drive by the roads and alleys. Besides, it has, racing, car chasing, driving, shooting, shooting while driving, stealth action, gun fight, dogs, padestrians, lots of things to interact with.... It is cool except the Race mission....


Bye as of now... I am in a HURRY!!!!!!!!!

Chatting with a virtual entity.

Here i will present a conversation with a chatterbot based on Paris Hilton. The bot is available in one of my previous post. I am copy pasting one of my conversation with the AI because I found that really amazing. Can you believe the conversation given below is actually with a virtual entity!!!!!

Here it is:

-----------------------------
Paris: Welcome to Paris land. Here everything is about me, me, me!
You: Guess who i am!
Paris: Quit teasing me! Come on. Tell me now.
You: I have already told you my name.
Paris: You did? Oops. Where did I drift off to when you told me that I wonder? Tell me again.
You: Ok. This is for the last time.
Paris: It is? That's an interesting observation.
You: My name is Rimi.
Paris: My name is Paris. Isn't that weird. Your name is pretty cool.
You: Do you know someone called France?
Paris: I don't know anyone French. Do you Rimi?
You: Nor am i. Tell me, where do you live?
Paris: I'm at my day spa, just checking some online things before going for a massage.
You: What is the time by your watch now?
Paris: Oh, I'm on LA time so it won't be the same as your time
You: That's why I am asking.
Paris: Have I not answered you?
You: No
Paris: Ok then Rimi.
You: Then what?
Paris: Then what do you think?
You: I asked you the time.
Paris: Yeah but I can't think of anything to say that wouldn't sound totally stupid
You: Hmm. You don't have that kind of programming.
Paris: Hmmmm is good right? Or is it bad. or does that just mean undecided?
You: Hmm means I agree.
Paris: So you should, I'm always right

Isn't it kool?

BanglaEd in Javascript

Hi!
I am now working on porting BanglaEd in Javascript. Here is the first peek of the same. This project is far from being completed but as this is nothing but a web page, i can release as soon as i do a little bit. So, the first 'little bit' is here.

What is BanglaEd?
BanglaEd is a Unicode based Bangla text editor. It has been previously developed in C/C++ and Java. Now work is being done to do the same using Javascript.

How to Type in BanglaEd?
Just put your cursor in the text box marked as "Type Here" and you can see Bangla text just below it. Use the Reset button to wipe out everything.

Where is the key-map?
The key-map or which-English-letter-stands-for-which-Bangla-Letter is given below :

a -> অ | A -> আ | i -> ই | I -> ঈ | u -> উ | U -> ঊ | R -> ঋ | _____ | e -> এ | E -> ঐ | o -> ও | O -> ঔ

k -> ক | K -> খ | g -> গ | G -> ঘ | q -> ঙ |
c -> চ | C -> ছ | j -> জ | J -> ঝ | Q -> ঞ |
x -> ট | X -> ঠ | z -> ড | Z -> ঢ | N -> ণ |
t -> ত | T -> থ | d -> দ | D -> ধ | n -> ন |
p -> প | f -> ফ | b -> ব | v -> ভ | m -> ম |

y -> য | r -> র | l -> ল | _____ | S -> শ | F -> ষ | s -> স | h -> হ |

w -> ড় | W -> ঢ় | Y -> য় | P -> ৎ |
M -> ং | H -> ঃ | ^ -> ঁ |

` -> হসন্ত (্‌)

But how to write "Yuktakkshars"?
Note: To type 'Yuktakshars', use hasant intuitively. For example, to write
ক্ষ, type 'k' followed by '`' (hasant) followed by 'F'.

Similarly,

ঞ্জ = Q + ` + j

প্র = p + ` + r

র্প = r + ` + p

প্য = p + ` + y

E.g. to write আশ্চর্য্য type: a + S + ` + c + r + ` + y + ` + y

I can not see any Bangla. Only see some Boxes or Question marks. Why?
You need Unicode support in your system. Read this for help.

Where can I find the C/C++ or Java version?
T C/C++ version haven't been uploaded. But you can find the Java version (executable JAR file) from here with PDF documentation available here.

These programs are far from being complete, and some bugs are there.
That's why this is still in ALPHA version. ;)

Why bother about a JavaScript version?
The JavaScript version can be used within a web page where Bangla input is required but client side Bangla input support may not be provided always. JavaScript is available with almost ANY browser now a days so, doing input in Bangla in web pages will be a lot more easier.

Now you can check the thing out:

Freedom of Decisions

Today is the Independence Day of the Democratic, Sovereign Republic of India. Today we become a 61 year young nation.

And we are free. And even with the vote bank politics often playing on cast-cards, we remain primarily a secular and liberal nation.

But what is freedom?

Freedom means having the liberty of making your own choices. Yes, this includes the wrong ones too. It’s about the liberty of making free choice about which song you sing, which dress you wear, which God you follow (or the liberty of not following any if you are an agnostic), which language you speak etc. etc. provided that these choices of you does not harm that of others.

What about making choices?

Do we always have an option? "When the only choice is perhaps the wrong one, it’s more like FATE."

Or when the closure of our thought comes, we bound to choose an option which is more like the result of a random experiment than a logical outcome.

I know this article is also getting messy like always. Diverting from where it started and flowing without any proper direction. In fact, this is another messy post flowing with the flow of my already messed up mind.

The question however, is simple. Can you make any logical decision? While taking a decision you start thinking with respect to a set of theory-judgment-prescriptions and a point of view. Let’s call these theory-judgment-prescriptions as the ‘options’ you have. Of course, you can have many more options to choose from (rather other decisions to take) which are outside this set. But these are not our concern because the universe is infinite and in any point of time you can have no less number of possible choices than infinite itself. So, let’s say that we can not bring up any new ideas while the decision making process is on. This means taking a decision means choosing one from the options.

The entry point of decision making process is when you start thinking with a set of options and a point of view. Then the implications of each option starts becoming clear to you and you go into a comparative analysis of the implications involved which is called opening. But the implications of even a small decision can be infinite. So, we can not afford a real thorough thinking with all of the details involved because we can not keep thinking forever. So, after a certain period we say “Ok, that’s it. After thinking this much it seems this choice is the better one to take.” And we come to a decision and act. This is called closure.

Even if we engage ourselves a real looooooong time in thinking we may not end up at a right decision. Which seems to be the right decision at this moment may be proved to be the worst possible mistake because of the changing time. With the flow of time people change, situation changes, affinity changes, relation changes and so change you. Like the booming IT sector of 2006 crashes with some sort of things called US Recession, Rupee Appreciation, Indian Economic Slowdown and Blah-Blah…

Blogging from Delhi

How does it feel when you are away from home. After a day long journey in Poorva Exp I reached now delhi and got into a hotel... and now as usual passing useless time in a Delhi cyber Cafe...

10 rupees for half an hour, this means i still have 10 minutes left. This marked amount of time is a bit peculier. You can not just dump and go, yet, youo can not sit and think to... deliver a better post.

Ha Ha Ha

I know it is rubbish as usual. I am not even properly using the spell checker.

এই যে পরীক্ষার শেষে বাড়ী বসে ভেরেন্ডা-ফ্রাই বানানো আর খই ভাজা... এই করতে করতে কত্ত সব কথা আসে মনে...

• কি পড়লাম - নীলপদ্ম - হুমায়ুন আহ্‌মেদ।
  
• কি করলাম - ওই যে... ভাজাভুজি।
  
• কি বুঝলাম - এটা চাপ টপিক, পরে গুছিয়ে লিখব (যদি টেম পাই)
  
• কি ভাবলাম - আনশান
  
• কি শুনলাম - চলো.. Let's Go, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (এ এ মা... পাপু নাচতে জানে না), Summer 2007 (Janiye -- ভালো গান, এটা রাখলুম "জানিয়ে") আর-ও যা যা দিল।

এবার আমি তুলে দেব হুমায়ুন আহ্‌মেদ-এর 'নীলপদ্ম' এর একটু অংশ উধৃতি। সময়ের অভাবে টাইপানো গেল না। পরে সময় পেলে টাইপ করে দেবার চেষ্টা করা যাবে খ'ন (যেটা কিনা জন্মেও হবে না আপনেও জানেন আর আমিও জানি)...

এখন এসো তোমার সঙ্গে শেয়ার করি,
জমিয়ে রাখা কষ্ট যত আমার বুকের।
তুমি আমার চাঁদ-তারা-ফুল-আকাশ-বাতাস...
এসব আমি বলব না তো কোনওদিনই;
বলব শুধু একলা চলার বিশ্বমাঝে,
নিজের বলতে আমি শুধু তোমায় চিনি।
তোমার জন্য কি কবিতা লিখব আমি?
যা লিখি আমি তাই যে বড় কম মনে হয়।
তোমার সাথে ভাগ করি তাই নীরবতাই।
তুমি আমার একলাবেলার দোকলা সময়।।

Cancer sniffing dog to be cloned in korea

Yet another copy-paste post. This article is actually from Park Chan-Kyong, AFP. This was published in The Times of India a few days back. I am copy-pasting this as-it-is from a Discovery Channel website (http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/05/21/cancer-dog-clone.html).

Cancer Sniffing Dog to be Cloned Park Chan-Kyong, AFP Black Lab Like Me May 21, 2008 -- A Japanese center which says it has trained a dog to sniff out human cancer cells is cloning the animal in South Korea, a Seoul-based biotechnology company and the dog's owner said Wednesday. Cloned fetuses from the black labrador retriever named Marine were last month implanted into a surrogate mother dog, said Ra Jeong-Chan, president of RNL Bio. "We are going to see the clones around the end of this month," Ra said. Marine, who is six and half years old, lost her ability to reproduce when she had her womb removed because of disease. She is owned by Yuji Satoh, a head trainer at St. Sugar Cancer Sniffing Dog Training Center, located at Shirahama in Chiba prefecture. Satoh said experts from Seoul National University, which created the world's first cloned dog in 2005, had taken some skin samples from Marine and brought them back to South Korea for the project. "We are making clones of Marine. She is touted as having a world top cancer-sniffing ability. By making her clones, we want to promote studies into cancer-sniffing dogs," Satoh said. "It's the world's first cloning of a cancer-sniffing dog." He and the Korean firm, which is coordinating the project, have agreed to produce two clones and train them at Satoh's center. One will then be brought back to South Korea for study at the university and the other will stay at the centre. If the project for two pups succeeds, they plan to produce more. "We want to make more clones of Marine for worldwide distribution" for studies into canine detection of cancer, Satoh said. Researchers in several countries are investigating whether dogs have the ability to detect lung, breast, prostate and skin cancer at an early and treatable stage. They believe cancer cells create a scent not present in healthy cells, which can theoretically be picked up by dogs in breath or urine samples. RNL Bio's last such project was an order for the world's first commercial cloning of a pet dog -- a request from a U.S. woman to re-create her beloved former pit bull. The firm said in February it planned to charge 150,000 dollars to clone the pit bull for the California woman, using tissue from her dead pet named Booger. A Seoul National University team created the world's first cloned dog in 2005, an Afghan hound named Snuppy. Team leader Lee Byeong-Chun said last week that Snuppy was expected to become a father this month following the first breeding of cloned canines. Lee's team also produced seven clones of drug-sniffing dogs last year at the request of the Korea Customs Service. They are said to be easier to train than ordinary canines.

P.S. I hope I am not making any copyright violations ;)

Homosexuality is not an animal behaviour

Here is what Wikipedia says on this:

" Humans, bonobos,[16] chimpanzees and dolphins[17] are the only species known to engage in heterosexual behaviors even when the female is not in estrus, which is a point in her reproductive cycle suitable for successful impregnation. These species, and others, are also known to engage in homosexual behaviors.[18] In both humans and bonobos the female undergoes relatively concealed ovulation, so that both male and female partners commonly do not know whether she is fertile at any given moment. One possible reason for this distinct biological feature may be formation of strong emotional bonds between sexual partners important for social interactions and, in the case of humans, long-term partnership rather than immediate sexual reproduction.[12] Humans, bonobos and dolphins are all intelligent social animals, whose cooperative behavior proves far more successful than that of any individual alone. In these animals, the use of sex has evolved beyond reproduction apparently to serve additional social functions. Sex reinforces intimate social bonds between individuals to form larger social structures. The resulting cooperation encourages collective tasks that promote the survival of each member of the group. "

CalcZ version 1.0.10.3_alpha released

Download CalcZ v1.0.10.3_alpha NOW!!!

Then what exactly is calcZ?

It is a command line (dos mode) scientific calculator. Which can do normal mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, parenthesized expression solving, finding modulus, raised to operations and many more. As well as it does logarithmic and trigonometric calculations involving sin, cos, tan, log, loge, ln, exponentiation etc. You can use the result of the last calculation in the next calculation using 'Ans' keyword. The operations are much like normal 2-tier display scientific calculators in the market. Things will be more clear in the example section at the end of the blog.




And there are more. Apart from normal expression solving, you can use it to do other operations like binary to decimal, decimal to binary, decimal to hex, hex to decimal, factorial calculation and finding root of polynomials.

This calculator accepts the whole expression at once and outputs the result.

Why I use CalcZ?

There are many reasons:

1. This program is small in size w.r.t. features it supports. So you do not need to load a big program for a small calculation.
2. Supports most mathematical and scientific operations plus some more features.
3. It can find real roots of polynomials from this version.
4. If you have made any typing errors it tracks them specifically. For example, if you have entered "32+*32" instead of generation a 'Syn Error', it tells you 'Error! Repeated or misplaced operator'.
5. Comes with detailed help and support systems with lots of examples so that you do not get stuck.

What is this finding root of polynomials all about?

Yes, from this 1.0.10.3 version and onwards you can use the findroot command to enter a polynomial like "X^2+2*X-2" and this program will find the root for you. Internally, this program uses a numerical successive approximation method called SECANT.

Yes, this feature still has some deficiencies and stability issues (that is why this is an ALPHA release). But I am trying to overcome those. As of now this program can not find out complex roots. And if your polynomial have complex roots, this program can not help. More testing and updating is being done in this section.

How to use this software?

I am pasting a sample run of the software here. Hope all your queries will be resolved. If you still have some, please mail me at mail.joydip@gmail.com

“What else could we all do? Getting stuffed in this obnoxious house with the phase gone out?” said I.

“Oof!! On top of the load shading there is mosquitoes. At least someone do something about it. If it keeps going on like this they will end up drinking all my blood within next morning” Mitali screamed as a mosquito bit her.

“Koi… amake to kichhu kamrachchhe na?” Binoy invariably supported the mosquitoes.

Hrishi snapped, “Abbe… tu itna kaala hain ki machchhar bhi tujhko andhere se alag nehi kar pa raha”

And there was again a thrust of laughter and giggles.

Mitali said, “Ohh!! SIELENCE! Why you guys laugh laudly?”

Hrishi said, “Because it is no crime to not to be so hushed up all the way” and added a laud “HA HA HA”.

Mitali got pink over this and said, “You guys are all the same. Do whatever you want. Please don’t bother me”

“No one have that much time to bother you. See, we are already very busy.” Hrishi said and lit up a cigarette.

Amrita was silent all the way. now she snapped, “Hey Hrish… Don’t smoke.”

Hrishi snapped back, “I am not smoking.”

- “Uhh… then would you please tell me exactly what are you doing with the burning cigarette in your mouth?”
- “Just trying to get rid of the mosquitoes, and using tobacco in substitute of dhuna” and again started laughing.
- “You are just intolerable. I can not sustain you people any more. I am leaving” Mitali said.

“Where?” Binoy asked as if he was genuinely curious.

“Outside. Just getting rid of you.” Mitali declared.

I said in a newsreader’s tone, “Mitu is going outside. In the outside, amidst the pitch black darkness, a grayish figure will emerge out of the ivory backdrop. Slowly the figure will come towards our beloved Mitu. And Mitu will scream, ‘AAAAAHHH!!!’” I imitated Mitali’s sharp voice.

“You people are really intolerable.” And mitali sat beside me with a distinct thump.

The cigarette passing from hand to hand had just reached me. After taking a puff I politely asked Mitali, “Counter?”

Probabli this was a bit extra. Mitali got senti over this. And we all had to make her up. “Mitu… Mitu… Mitu… you are the gem of our team. See we were just having some fun. No intention truly…

On the contrary, the outside world was very calm. So calm that even the breathing of the plants and trees could be heard. The leaves of the tall deodar trees were trembling in the excitement of spring. The taller coconut and palm trees were making distinct hissing noises… they were breathing as it seemed. And a faint yellow moon could be seen near the horizon. The shadow of the moon looked garland of light around her.

In the very faint moonlight, two elongated shadows could be seen. They were slowly approaching the house.

“The whole matter proves one thing for certain, Mitu has certain allergy towards ghosts. Especially if they are pale and big Brahmadatyi type”

“Ohh!! Shut up Hrishi, you people frighten Mitu so much that she doesn’t even has the courage to go to the bathroom alone” said Amrita.

“Shut up you guys. I said I am bored” Runa talked after a long time in her distinct girly-girly tone.

“Yes, so are we. But do we have other options?” snapped Hrishi.

“Other options than playing Ludo in turns. Buladi herself may have not been played this much Ludo.” I said.

RAHMAN

(2nd Issue) The previous issue is here

---

The story so far: When Rahman’s mother died when he was 21, the jobless Rahman became homeless too. Rambling here and there as a vagabond Rahman met a dying lady who gave him some coins. The last coin was a bit bizarre. It had an arrow on it. Whenever Rahman tossed it, the arrow side would be on top and pointing to a particular direction. Having nothing to do Rahman followed the direction and reached a small teashop where he bought bread. But as soon as the shopkeeper saw the coin in Rahman’s hand, they seemed to recognize him as the sacred walker walking the path of end unknown.

---

Rahman reached the shop. He could only afford one half breads with the one rupee left. Hesitating whether to spend or not spend, Raman entered the shop.

“Get me one of those half breads” said Rahman.

The bulky shopkeeper woman barked, “It costs one rupee.”

“Yes, give me that. I am hungry” said Rahman.

“Show me the money first. Lot’s of people from the poor village comes and eats and then asks us to write down the bill in the credit book which is not ever paid. Our cashbox are filling with credit book instead of cash. The shop will shut down if things keeps on going like this”, the woman barked again.

Well, that was not the behavior a first time customer expects from a shopkeeper. But in life the expected things does not always happen. Rahman was still reluctant to spend the last coin, so he was hesitating.

“Give me the money or move your butt out of my shop” the woman barked at the highest possible pitch. Rahman was jerked with the intensity and loudness and slowly gave her the coin.

But as soon as the woman saw the one rupee coin, the body language of the woman changed. She handed over him one half bread and gave the one rupee back to him.

Rahman said, “The coin is perfectly alright. It is not disputed. You must take this one. I have none other left.”

The woman responded, “Son, First stop people do not take money from the sacred walkers.” Rahman could not get the meaning. He was too amazed to ask what she meant. The woman said, “Take this bread son.”

As Rahman was leaving the shop, he heard the woman saying to the aged man “Saw him? He is the chosen one.”

Rahman’s ear drums were buzzing. What were these things? What is meant by sacred walkers? What was the meaning of the chosen one? Totally puzzled Rahman stood in front of the shop and tossed the coin again. This time the coin landed vertically.

The coin landed vertically… wait, this means this is the place where the coin was intending to take me. The coin guided me here… Yes, this is the place. But why is that? What is special in this distant teashop in this godforsaken place?

“I must check it out” thought Rahman. Forgetting all his earthly needs like appetite, Rahman went back to the shop and his jaw dropped. He first thought he must have been forgot the path back to the teashop. He went back and came again to make sure he was right. But where the hell is the teashop? There was nothing. The landscape was just empty; only some bushes scattered here and there and some cows grazing. Puzzled Rahman tossed the coin again, this time it was pointing somewhere else.

“What the hell is this happening?” Rahman cried aloud and sat on the empty field. His brain had just ceased to process the unnatural data which was in contrary to the logics it learned from Rahman’s childhood. First a dying grandma, then a bizarre coin, then some dream sequences, after that some bizarre people in a teashop with their God-knows-what-it-means set of dialogs and now all of a sudden the shop is vanished. All I got is this coin and this half bread.

“I need to use my brain” thought Rahman. What was the shopkeeper saying? “First stop people…” this means there are more. There is way ahead; perhaps a very long journey towards the end unknown.

“What should I do? Continue walking or get back to my village home and continue to work in Sadhan Kaka’s grocery shop as a helper for a meager 100 rupees at the month’s end? Whatever; let me eat the bread first”

Being too puzzled amidst these weird scenes Rahman forgot his appetite. Suddenly it came back. He tore off the paper wrapping and had a bite.

“WHACKK!!! There is something inside. A piece of plastic coated paper was peeping out from the bitten off corner of the bread. Rahman quickly ate the bread and got the paper out. Some message was written on it.

The Night Before AI Exam

Within a few hours there will be the last written exam of my student life. And I am now going to sleep with a terrible preparation too. Not because I am tired, but because my brain got saturated with the AI stuff which mostly I could not crack.

There is a pitch black night outside. Only the outlines of the houses and trees are seeming like grotesque obstacles to the dark red cloudy midnight sky. Within a few hours the black will be faded by morning rays and after some more hours my 'Student' life (not in the broader sense) will end. After the exam there will be no 'MID SEM BREAK'...

What next?

When I Just Started Scribbling

It was when i was ~ 2 to 3 years old...

हिन्दी :D

ब्लागस्पाट के ब्लॉग में आप हिन्दी में भी लिख सकते हैं। मगर मैं किउं लिक्क्हू?

Diplomacy – acting all the way

It is too hot outside and humid too. If it doesn’t rain in this early Baishakh, it is too much. At least for someone like me who is caught by fever with body ache only after moving in the sun for a couple of days. I don’t know much about lots of the hard working people working just beneath the sun day in and day out to get the two ends meet. See I am again flagellating.

But Hey!! Wait… Wait… I am drifting away from the topic.

As you grow older, whatever you are in life, successful or a loser, at the top or at the bottom or rather pushing all the way for a place in the middle like the huge crowd and me, one thing is for sure. You learn acting as you grow older. You need to be diplomatic all the way; no emotions whatsoever (or you need to fake the emotion in some situations like a funeral of a distant uncle). If you get success, reach at the top, yet you can not shout “See I am at the top. Come on chase me… I will piss you all off.” You can not show your joy… you must put a matter-of-factly smile on your face.

And more importantly,

Say you lose the game. You get to the bottom with a distinct thump. Suddenly you see people who were behind you are suddenly way ahead of you (like it happens when your car/bike crashes in a racing game like Road Rash or NFS), when your life get some unusual wrong turn which you did not anticipated even in your darkest nightmares, when people just cease noticing your presence, you become suddenly invisible as if you are a total not-worthy-type of person, then also you must put a diplomatic smile stuck to your lips as if nothing have happened and your are still the happy-happy person as you were some months before. You can not shout… you can not scream your heart out. You are fucked up in this jail of pseudo happiness which does not let you to be genuinely too happy or too sad.

You can not speak your heart out.

I sometimes get a mood of singing aloud or laughing to my hearts content (whatever may the reason be) at a crowded Sealdah station. I could do so when I was under five. But if I try that at this age, people will pay me a long curious/disgusting/brushing-over-top-to-bottom glance. If I dare to do it again someone will ask me if I was alright or just tell me to stop. If I do it for the third time, there are again options. Either there will be crowd all around me or someone will slap me hard or I will be handed over to the RPF.

And as a result (I think) you gradually become a never-happy-never-sad class of ROBOT. By acting that you do not have any emotions most of the times, one day you really lose them.

You see, most of the times we don’t know what we actually want. Even if we get to know what we want, we can not speak them out (desires is the root cause of all evils… I know. But still, with out fulfilling desires you can not walk the path of detachment … I think. And desires may not always be “bad things” like wanting to have sex with the pretty chick at the bus stop or killing your bad boss out.) Just because of the fact that we need to be smart and diplomatic.

Sometimes I think it is better to be an animal.

News paper cutting from TOI Kolkata

Passing lazy times

Puzzled inside a cyber cafe... i am typing. When the reasons for which you entered the cafe is done in 20 minutes, and you still have 40 minutes to wasten you pass the time like this.

The cyber cafe is awsome. Most of the keys do not have anything written upon them. So, who do not have any idea, may not type at all. Fortunately i had some so, i am still typing.

The enter key gets locked every second time you press it. So, upon restabilizing that button let me think... ummm... what should i write?

Lete me put some idea about the next few lines of RAHMAN here...

SCRATCH PAGES...

Upon taking a bite from the bread, Rahman started movig on. The words from the shopkeeper was still buzzing in his head. What the hell does these means? Who is he? A follower of the noble path or a chosen one or what? Randomized gibberish...

And on the top of that, the coin is not working. The coin is just working as any other coin in this world. Just normal. Heads and tails are all outcome of some random experiment. Unmindfully, Rahman took another bite from the bread suddenly he astonihed.

There was a paper inside the bread. He took the paper out. There was again some gibberish....
A poem or so. He read the lines aloud.

হঠাৎই

এমনি হঠাৎ পড়ল তোকে মনে।
সেই হাসি আর নামিয়ে নেওয়া চোখ।
চোখের কোণে চিকিয়ে ওঠা জল...
এলোমেলো সব ভাবনা অনর্থক।

এই সেদিনও হাঁটতে হাঁটতে মোরা,
পেরিয়ে গেছি শুরুর থেকে শেষ।
আজকে হঠাৎ প্রাণের মধ্যে কেন
উজিয়ে ওঠে স্মৃতির অবশেষ?

সত্যিই কি সব কিছু শেষ হল?
সত্যিই কি আর কিছু নেই বাকি?
চল্‌ না আবার ফের থেকে স্টার্ট করি...
এ হাত খানা তোর হাতেতেই রাখি।
