Out of which Food and Celebration are the too much loved favorites of a Bengali.

Nostalgic Dinner

Last night every thing happened; a dazzling rainfall, gone away with a power break and puzzled with a TV packing! Lastly for dinner we both enter in the ‘Sunday’ restaurant with a smile. Nobody noticed, as all of them are busy in their dining. Once Mr. Boxer asked a simple question to a waiter, (ofcourse I can’t reveal the question here) and he replied with a smile. After finishing our dinner I went to see a 1962 spy movie ‘Dr No.’ I am very much fascinated with the Bond character. The charisma presented from the very first film in the James Bond series which star Sean Connery drive me away CRAZY. I am very fond of downloading movies through torrents ( Demonoid.com , ThePiratesBay.org etc). My latest interest is to collect the complete James Bond in DivX format with subtitles (SubtitleSource.org) & relevant poster (CdCovers.cc). The websites are very useful for movies, books, software and you know what. Recently I have upgraded my personal external hard disk to 1TB capacity, now

Day After Tomorrow

My prodigal roommate is leaving once again. Moreover this bogging device is helping me to write about him which is very fascinating. This is not a testimonial evidently! I felt terrible when he told me he is leaving. What I was thinking that time? Should I revel? I was not thinking about my next move, nor was I thinking about his replacement. My only thought was who will make TEA for me everyday. Yes I am talking about the famous ‘Tea maker’ who was fascinated about numbers and destined for nowhere other than his dream hunts. The other day we are talking about Cars, I know some day he will ensue his dream E Class. His line shows a lot of meaning of his existence. Someday he will definitely recall my virtue and I will forgive him. I know you are laughing now ‘Mr. Boxer’.

A piece of paper

Saturday, 22 February 2003 The bliss of air could tell the difference which occur to me in the last few months. Correction is the method of fulfilling our category where we deserve and survive. My longest day is yet to come and I am hungry to serve it. Quality of life removes the tensions which occur day by day. But could I sustain the gene disease? Last day Bhagavad-Gita reading shows me the path of purified life through total devotion and sacrifice. Can all these are possible during these science involved centuries and the coming star wars age where we have to stay in a matrix world and fight with various mutants. Now let see what we can do in the present conditions. Where human growth are unstoppable and the leadership emerges through politics are not helping the superstructure and infrastructure. According to me a person who is qualified in human resourse management and is responsible for human resourse development should call himself a qualified as personnel management. Whose thou

Ancient academy

Why me....... I am very flexible, adaptable and mobile towards my work and attitude. I can communicate with people and capable to influence them. Also I have inculcated certain values like being honest, obedient, and punctual and practice good moral ethics from my childhood which I cherish very much. Since my father is working in Ordnance Factory and we have to move to different places after every five years. So far I have seen a number of places from North India to South India. Switching off to many places helped me in adjusting to new climate, food habits, schools, college and making fast friends. My purpose....... I want to advance my hospitality management skills by upgrading the management area through a well structured course. The diploma in post graduation or a master degree contributes largely in providing the initial break which then gives me an edge over the competition in corporative life. Besides, a degree from a good institute certainly makes for greater acceptability. It
