Struggling In 1500 B.C.

2 comments

Life thousands of years ago must have been difficult. Guess what, today studies took a backseat as I played Civilization 4: Beyond The Sword. So for a greater part of the day I found myself struggling with the game. It has been 2 weeks or so I joined, after ignoring at least a thousand requests [...]

An Unfamilar Town

1 comment

It was early morning. Our train had just arrived at the New Jalpaiguri station. People were rushing forth to get the best coolie and conveyance deals. We waited till the rush sobered down a bit having no real rush for time. Pleasantly enough the very second coolie we encountered quoted us an easy negotiable amount closest to the real rate. Gladly enough we ventured towards the rickshaw and auto stand believing that the day would go good without further monetary haggles or otherwise, having accomplished the hardest bit so early and that too in the pleasantest manner possible. Alas, we were but a bit too early to come to this conclusion!

While this may not be my best coffee experience ever, this is what I could think of when I came across a thread titled ‘What is your best coffee experience?’ in the Facebook group called Cappuccino Lovers.

Mind you it’s not a travelogue in anyways, but if someone needs any information regarding USA where their [...]

This Bengali New Year, I was home and a visit to  home could never be complete without a Lawrencians meet. It was last Monday evening that I met Chadu and Nass. Nass & I were supposed to be at Chadu’s place at 5. But I woke up at 6, to the prolonged buzzing of my [...]

The new IRCTC eatery ‘Jana Ahar’ at NJP station looks sparkling from outside. As I step in, I am suprised to see the price chart. Outrageously cheap! Then the name of the place rings a bell! Food is okay, I mean fresh and edible. Not bad after all, if you are determined to eat station [...]

Preparation I think it was in December when Chandradeep, Subhodip and Saurav came to my place on the occasion of Eid that we toyed with the idea, over parathas and kababs, of going on a tour. The time would be after Chandradeep and I were finished with our Prof exams and Subhodip was back from [...]

A Trip To Dhaka

0 comments

I was in Dhaka last week. It was a business trip, but it was an occasion to renew some friendships and to also renew acquaintance with the second great city of Bengal, now unfortunately in two parts, thanks to our own stupidity. The Partition of Bengal was a traversty of history, but the conditions were [...]
