Ubuntu simply rocks

Yes I know this is not technical blog, but I can't control my feelings for Ubuntu when I tried its latest version 11.10. WoW!! its really cool and has extensive desktop features that I have never seen in any Linux OS.

I installed in my Oracle Virutal Box and when installation completed, my eyes were just staring on new desktop.

Hats off to all graphics programmers and kernel developers for building such cool stuff. Those who haven't try this latest version, lets Ubuntu do its SAMBA (download link: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download)

Visit to Indian Museum

Sunday 15th Jan 2012, with friends Abdul and Aftab I visited Indian Museum located at Park Street in Kolkata. This was my third visit and this time also I didn't visited all galleries because we were tired.To visit all galleries it may take more than 2 hours.

We started from Archaeology gallery and tired after visiting Art gallery.While there are lots of specimens which are very rare, but maintenance is rather poor. Whole building is covered up with dust and colored with "Pan Pichkari" .

Out of all galleries, gallery related to History is clean. I personally like History gallery specially stone sculptures and coins of Ancient India.
Founded by Dr. Nathaniel Wallich and established on 1814, Indian Museum was previously located at Asiatic society(1,Park Street) which was later moved to 27, Jawaharlal Nehru Rd,Park Street.

Those who haven't visited the place, a visit is will be life experience.

I have a dream

Got a copy of 'I have a dream' (online purchase from flipkart.com) written by Rashmi Bansal and started reading today. Starting from Story of Bindeshwar Pathak to Arvind Kejriwal, book tells stories of 20 social entrepreneurs who changed the society and work beyond the boundaries of 'me and myself'.Yet another inspirational book from Rashmi Bansal.

Must have book for everyone in this new year. Happy reading

Cold Cold night at Kolkata

After long long sunbath during summer in Kolkata, its winter again. This year temperature lowers than last year. Although my immune system is more vulnerable during winter season but I like this season in Kolkata because summer last here too long and latter tortures too much.

People from other places may find winter season more uncomfortable but people in Kolkata find it comfortable. This is the season where your tastebuds really feel the taste of tea. I have already prepared to battle against cold cold night with jackets, sweaters etc. and inner jackets of ******.Guess what?  Do you?

Friends, here is a song called "Winter time love"  from DOORS dedicated to all of you..enjoy the song with a cup of tea..

"Wintertime winds blow cold the season

Fallen in love, I'm hopin' to be

Wind is so cold, is that the reason?

Keeping you warm, your hands touching me

Come with me dance, my dear

Winter's so cold this year

You are so warm

My wintertime love to be

Winter time winds blew and freezin'

Comin' from northern storms in the sea

Love has been lost, is that the reason?

Trying so desperately to be free

Come with me dance, my dear

Winter's so cold this year

And you are so warm

My wintertime love to be..."
