It's shoshthi today!!


It's again that time of the year for which every bengali waits for since the previous years dusshera. Today is shoshti ('shasthi'), the day when the Durga Pujo begins.

In good old days when I was a student it was a day when 5 days of fun used to begin. Spending time at pandal with friends. How can I forget the famous bengali adda. But now things have a changed. Today I am sitting in office working like any other day and same for tomorrow. Though looking forward for the long weekend to celebrate the pujo.

This is my second pujo in Chennai. Last time I celebrated with my roomie and his friends. We went to few pandals. This time round though he is not there, he is in kolkata. So this time planning to join my cousin dada o boudi along with masshi o meshomoni. Its a full house there. This is also the first pujo for dada's son.

Wishing you all too a very happy and rocking pujo!! Bolo bolo joy Durga mai!!

Did you Bing?

www.bing.com This is the latest web search offering from Microsoft , which calls it a Decision Engine as it is supposed to help make decisions apart from searching. Read here what Microsoft has to say about it. Anyway I decided to bing the web and see what it can show me. From the first impression I feel Microsoft finally seems to be understand how things should work on internet. The interface is neat and simple, though bit heavy with graphics. The web search has some nice features like ability to suggest related searches, provide a preview to page contents without opening and also suggested alternatives for the search result. Shopping search is where I found Bing really good. It could help compare prices, show reviews, product pictures, and even offers cashbacks!! Also I liked the bird's eye view of the Bing Map search , which is based on the Microsoft Virtual Earth now called Bing Maps for Enterprise. Overall impressive, I will not compare it with Google search yet. Mainly b...

Leheron Se darkar -- H R Bachhan

Lehron se darkar nauka par nahin hoti,koshish karne walon ki haar nahin hoti, Nanhi cheenti jab daana lekar chalti hai,chadhti deewaron par, sau bar phisalti hai. Man ka vishwas ragon mein saahas bharta hai,chadhkar girna, girkar chadhna na akharta hai. Akhir uski mehnat bekar nahin hoti,koshish karne walon ki haar nahin hoti. Dubkiyan sindhu mein gotakhor lagata hai,ja ja kar khali haath lautkar aata hai Milte nahi sahaj hi moti gehre paani mein,badhta dugna utsah isi hairani mein. Muthi uski khali har bar nahin hoti,Koshish karne walon ki haar nahi hoti. Asaflta ek chunauti hai, ise sweekar karo,kya kami reh gayi, dekho aur sudhar karo. Jab tak na safal ho, neend chain ki tyago tum,Sangharsh ka maidan chhodkar mat bhago tum.Kuch kiye bina hi jai jaikar nahin hoti,koshish karne walon ki haar nahin hoti. -Harivansh Rai Bachan
