Another rainy Saturday

rwikee — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 15:48:00 +0000

This was really long week. I was really tired, so I treated myself with 2hours of classical music followed by a 12 hours long sleep. Now am somewhat happy, but still cant go out because of rain. It’s raining like cats and dogs from morning. So far it’s pleasant start for a perfect weekend. Will sweat out in gym next few hours, then hit shaleen’s place. So, no more words as of now, I might update this post if something notable happens.

At Nakshatra

rwikee — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 20:03:00 +0000

So, we had a great time at nakshatra last Sunday. It’s been almost a month since we last met. The occasion was mrinal’s brothers marriage. We missed the reception in Delhi, but mrinal was gracious enough to compensate that. As you know, am always ready for good food, so naturally I was the first one to reach the place. Sinha came last, as he was carrying a brand new N900 (which is a little heavier than his other set . Shaleen did his best to restrict sinha from geeky lecture, but the gadget was really awesome. Am personally impressed with both the camera and video quality. Only ashwin was silent. I guess he got bored with our childish discussions, or maybe he was thinking about some unsolved problems from codechef. We really din’t realize how 2.5 hrs got over. I had a thrilling auto ride on my way back to home. It feels heavenly to glide through deserted inner ring road.

My views on reservations in india

rwikee — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 22:00:00 +0000

If you are reading this article just to find some brand new facts or opinion, then am afraid to inform you that there is absolutely nothing new in this article. My school buddy Dr. Soumalya has posted some updates in orkut regarding reservation,secularism and minority politics. I don’t know what provoked him, but it’s his words which inspired me to spend some time on writing this article.

You see, reservation is not a new stuff in our country. And most of us know that it’s not an option. Still most of us favors it. The reason behind this is different for different people. Some of us are enjoying it, as they fall under minority tag. Some of us are in politics, and we love minority vote bank. And there are many people, who doesn’t have an opinion. So they remain silent. Taking advantage of this situation, our government is introducing various types of reservations for various stages of society.

The result of this:-

1. Incompetent people in important positions.

2. Worst affected area is the medical profession, probably. It gets hit in 3 phases. First, they are getting advantage in entrance test( this heinous injustice may be compared to maradona’s hand of god incident ). Secondly some incompetent people become doctor, which is pretty dangerous for public health.And because of these incompetent doctors, the meritorious doctors who belong to reserved category, gets affected. For example, I personally avoid going to schedule cast doctors fearing he is incompetent(Provided, he is totally unknown to me). Trust me, there are plenty of people who thinks in my way.

3. Reservation in any form, ignites racism. It’s like acknowledging races in official way.

4. It’s like wasting tax payers hard earned money to give some people undue advantages.

5. Some antisocial built their business around this situation. How? they provide fake sc/st/obc certificates to so called “higher” cast people. So that they can enjoy the fruit of reservation unlawfully.

6. Countries overall growth suffers.

I know I have missed a lot of points in the above list. To be frank, that list is endless. So how to improve the condition of backward people ? I must say, Darwin was politically incorrect when he talked about survival of the fittest. We fail to accept that success and prosperity is not for everyone. Able and hardworking people will move forward, regardless of his cast. And rest of us will stay behind to form the backward class of society. In my opinion, if we really want to see more people in the upper crest, we may consider these ………..

1. Provide proper primary education, nutrition , freedom of thought , access to knowledge resources at early stages rather than pushing him into iits or iims at a later stage.

2. Arrange for scholarships for economically backward people, and please for god’s sake don’t select them based on cast or religion.

3. Teach the minorities not to think themselves as minorities.

4. And obviously, stop doing cast or religion oriented politics.

After all we are human not vote bank. Politicians should realize this.

My November

By: Rwik Mukhopadhyay

In this life full of emotions

Why can’t you forget us?

They(lawmakers) have forgiven them(a certain country)

Then why?

Why contributing in global warming,

with flaming candles !

(Now, let’s talk about a certain politician caught in scandal)

They say,

Your video is authentic.

It was November 2008,

and luckily,

‘they’ were not filming you.

And you,

The news men.

Why you always talk about nothing in particular?

You report as though you care,

But all you care is bloody trp.

And

on November 2008,

you needed my blood to pump your trp.

They showed,

you can handle 3 ladies at one shot.

but on bloody November

they preferred gunshot.

They dint cover you back then.

Me,my body was burning in flashlights.

And my bed was warm

Just like yours.

Still,

mine was filled with my own blood.

Not with some whore’s poison.

And at last,

they called,

Asked me to put a towel under the door.

I rushed.

My towel tried to fill the gap

ignored by intelligence and government.

But then the door opened,

I knew it was impossible to survive,

But then I realised.

Hard nosed bullets are too hard

for my pupils…

Christmas belongs to amir !

rwikee — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 12:36:00 +0000

A very happy new year to all of you. I am not going to write a full length review for 3 idiots!. But i just felt, i should spend some time praising amir. Last 3 years, he has been dominating the holiday seasons with his masterpieces. Really, his passion for perfection is quit exemplary. This time, he made something specially for us, engineers. Through out the movie,he kept on stating that it takes a lot to be a geek.It’s a age old theory, we are all well aware of that. But still most of us dint learn it. Some including company hr’s thinks good gpas are the signs of geeks.And then there are those, who thinks using css made them geek .Jokes apart, amir beautifully wrapped some serious issues with college humor and served it with hot kareena sauce. Simply marvelous . I dont know what SRK fans are thinking, but i would advise them, while seeing this movie just forget that you are a srk fan. Who knows, you might change your idol too

[Note: The picture shows my rummies watching three idiots from first class, I was lucky enough to get a balcony seat ]

আমার পদ্য পড়তে চাও ?
কিন্তু কেন পর্বে ?
তুমি তো এখনো আমার প্রেমে পরনি .
তোমার ভালো লাগবে ,
এমন কিছু তো বলিনি .

আমার লেখায় আকাশ নেই
নদী নেই ,
গরু , ছাগল , ভেরা ,
এমনকি ভালুক নাচের ও বর্ণনা নেই .
তবু কেন বসে আছ ?
সত্যি বলছি
আমার লেখায় কল্পনার ছোওয়াই নেই ,
উস্নতাও লেগে নেই .

এই শীতের দুপুরটা কেন অপচয় করছো ?
বরং একটু ঘুরে এসো ,
নিজের কল্পনা আকাশ থেকে শুষে নিও ;
আর উষ্ণতা ?
সেটা বরং
অটোআলা আর বান্ধবীর মাঝে খুঁজে নিও .
