Here goes the end of March

I am 23 now. Yes I know I could not get my friends for a treat. I really just didn't have any time. I promise to give them a treat as soon as possible but I really don't know when. Just wrote this post on more Google features on my other blog.
Talked to her for about half an hour. I don't know, time flies by when I talk to her. This time she didn't keep talking like she usually does all the time. She mainly stayed silent, except for replying and speaking only very rarely. I did most of the talking. It was actually not really fun. I don't like to see her that way, but I guess everybody has their ups and downs. Didn't poke her too much.
Bought all the formal wear that I could - shirts, trousers, shoes etc - all that I am going to need in my new workplace. Hope things get sorted out well soon. Time is running out. Wish to buy my laptop tomorrow itself, let's see, the previous plan on getting my laptop went kaput, the guy to whom I ordered the machine simply could not comply. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get it. Then of course I'll have to go to Durgapur to collect my certificate and caution money. And meet friends, give treats - not that I regret them, but am afraid I am gonna be able to make things happen this time - let's see. Wish me luck.

Stalingrad 2013 Movie Review

I saw the trailer of this movie once and really really liked it. What was really interesting was the Thomas Kretschmann acted in a movie with the same name exactly 20 years back. Stalingrad was released in 1993 and the young Kretschmann played the role of a dutiful but conscientious German leutnant of the ill fated 6th Armee. Here also he comes back, slightly older and rugged. The spectacular visuals, the background sound and the lack of background music makes it a realistic watch. That is all positive that I have to say about this trash. Yes, that's what I will this. Naturally, while watching this I brought in similar scenes of Stalingrad (1993) among other war movies. And in comparison this movies cuts so sorry a figure that I dared not watch the entire movie even! The story starts of slow enough and just completely refused to pick up pace. The entire movie seemed to be directed by an amateur school student, bolstered by some insanely talented special effects team. This made t...

Getting back to making stuff

I was off for a while. I mean, I was not. I painted an old shoecase that now looks a gorgeous white cupboard. I fixed my bicycle.  But beyond this, I did not do much beyond what my work paid me to do. So here I am, about to touch a new year of my life - and I am itching to get back into the habit of writing again.  Not just writing stuff here, but also making applications or music.  In fact, after a very long time I feel like sketching again. I think I am going to sketch my wife. Or may be finish my ex wife's sketch. I dunno. But I am gonna get started with a pencil tomorrow. Thanks to chatgpt, I have restarted my application brainstorming and dusted my old Github repos.  I think this is going to be a good run this time.

Saraswati Puja and Valentine's Day Coincide

I used to hear this a lot - for Bengalis (Bengali Hindus), Saraswati Pujo is equivalent to the Valentine's Day . Girls would wear yellow sarees and braid their hair, while guys will be wearing yellow punjabees and white dhoti or pajama.  This time on Feb 14, 2024, they fell on the same day. Woke up pretty early in the morning, showered, wore the dhuti and uttiyo and did Saraswati Puja. Most of the mantras I have got by heart now. After the pushpanjali , I was done and we (my mother and I) could then break our fast with the Mahaprasad . Took a day off for the day, but still joined for a quick catchup call.  This is how she looks like. There is a bit of a history here. Usually, Hindus get the vigraha from the shop every year, worship and then do visarjan (immersion) in a river or pond. However, she is with us since I was in class IX. When I was in Standard X, my grandmother had died. As part of the souch (relatively inauspicious greiving period), we could not get a new vigra...
