The 100cc Hero

"The bike is making a clicking sound whenever I try to turn on the ignition and accelerate."

Expert Systems

 If you're thinking that this is going to be about the artificial intelligence topic, you're hugely mistaken.

Saturation ( aka Fed up )

 

Saturation : The magical time when you actually feel being an inanimate object wouldn't be such a bad idea, now would it?

Goodwill Ranting

Goodwill and Ranting : Two very different words, worlds apart, and yet they seem to blend so beautifully in some specific situations ( which we will come to, obviously! ) .

Simplicity?? What the hell is that?

 

"Cowards die many times before their deaths, The valiant never taste of death but once."

Many of you rememeber this quote from William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Whether you go by it, I won't like to speculate.

The Third Realm

All of us have been at crossroads at some point of time. You should know by now, not to take my words literally ( Doing that=BIG mistake ).

Mood Swings. Well, almost!

Let's face it. It happens to all of us. One minute we are laughing at the lamest of jokes ( please, people, no pointing! ) and the next moment, even a hug won't cheer us up.

Mindfreaked!

Here is Shubham Gangopadhyay with another of his unique contributions. This time, it's about the thoughts that "happen" to the brain and how to deal with them. Another interesting read, this one.

Cryptomnesia

Cryptomnesia, a memory bias, is a true bane for authors in particular; but basically for anyone who has to earn his/her daily bread by thinking up original ideas.

Change

 

 Change is fundamental. You should try it some time.

Aquiline

Many of you may be wondering about the title. Aquiline, according to the all-knowing-book ( also known as the dictionary ), is defined as: of, relating to, or having the characteristics of an eagle.

I don't know why this particular topic came into my head, but since it has arrived, I can't let it go, can I? Aren't we all fascinated by that solitary spot in the sky, gliding through the air and almost slicing the atmosphere into countless layers?


Well, I am. And, with it, the raw power that it represents. You don't want to be the thing that is going to be swooped down on and carried away in a split second by the machine-like claws, believe me. You'd rather get hit by a car and get it over with.


Also, I'm amazed by the precision this bird has. It'll pin point a location and reach within centimeters of the required location in a flash. It seems like it has a GPS tracking service installed in itself.


The characteristic that I'm most impressed by is the way it keeps to the highest of the skies and keeps on gliding for huge distances without stopping; as if it has been sent here to keep a watch over all of us. The lonely paratrooper who observes everything going on down there, all the while doing a pretty fine job of appearing the handsome bird it is.


I salute the solitary supervisor; do you?

Re: Touching Twenty

Here's Shubham Gangopadhyay's take on "Touching Twenty". Quite an interesting read, this one.

Touching Twenty

With many of us being at the foothills of Mount Twenty, we look back on our innocent childhood and our not-so-innocent teens. The teenage years are about to end and we are going to be called ( ughhh.... ) over-the-hill.

Being a Bong.......

 

Yes, being a Bengali ( Bangali ) in this oh-so-wonderful world isn't such a difficult thing to do. Staying a Bengali, though, takes a little more effort. ( Readers thinking this to be regionalistic can suck their thumbs and write their own blogs. )

Falsification

 

This piece is a contribution from Shubham Gangopadhyay ( Oh boy, I hope I got the name right!) and let's just say that quite a few adjectives you use to describe yourself will be gunned down. So,here goes.

Opinions Galore

 

Yes. This post is about the huge number of opinions this world generates everyday, which are chiefly responsible for the heated debates ( used in the lightest sense ) we see around us.

Ethics and The Confused Soul

 

These days, ethics may not play an important role in our world but you can't blame people randomly for being unethical. Ethics, according to me, is a relative term, as every person has a different perspective and almost all of them are confused!

From Social Evils to Social Imps

I was browsing through the news in my cocoon of apparent security when I came across this:

The word 'pathetic' was imprinted across my brain, in bold.

A Quest for the Elusive Grail

 

An urban quest for an elusive restaurant fills me up with the zeal to be determined in life. Weird, huh? It's just the tip of the iceberg. Bank on it.

India Calling

Here's another article from the author of "Honour Killings". Call centers do look like an easy way to fast cash but knowing it inside out requires a first-hand experience. So here's more, from the fingers of an ex-cce (call center employee).
