It is a wonder…just today I happened to look at my blog, and was amazed to see that so many days have passed since I last updated it. It is not that there was nothing to write, on the contrary – there were a lot, but this is just my laziness getting better of me yet once again… and this is yet one more attempt from me to get the upper hand.


Now that I started to write, a hell lot of words are coming gushing into my head. In a summary, had I made my entries in the blog for the last few days, I would have mentioned these: (not necessarily in this order though)


1. I saw the Jet Li movie hero, and immensely enjoyed it. I would recommend this movie everyone. I cannot articulate why I liked it that much, but for me it is enough that I was struck by the cinematography, the use of colors, and of course, the (definitely unachievable) beauty of the martial arts. If you haven’t seen it, go see it. It should still be running in some theaters near you.


2. Also watched Dhoom and Fida. I won’t say much. I have heard people say that Dhoom and Fida are good. Fida has a storyline that is, well, different from the usual bollywood style stories, and Dhoom.. well I am really trying not to sound like a male chauvinist, but what is the point of introducing a couple of actresses whose only role in the entire movie to participate in three dance+song sequence and to speak less than 10 dialogs. Esha Deol has practically NO role in that movie. (why should there be at least 5 dance+song in every movie beats me, but that is another story) .. but oj well, this is desi bollywood after all :)


3. Just a few days back, I received a telephone call from Prasenjit. We were very close friends while in class 4-5 in RKMVP, Purulia. And I did not hear anything about/from him after clas X. Now suddenly he gives me a call from NY. That really felt nice. We have talked few times over phone. He even had an interview today. I tried to call him twice, but nobody answered. I just pray that he gets the job.


4. My old wingmate Vikas Paliwal is here for an interview with Qualcomm. It seems that Qualcomm is on a hiring spree right now. Incidentally, the Marriott hotel in which Paliwal was staying is just 3-4 min walking distance from my apartment.


5. Himanshu et all will move tomorrow to their new apartment. So, I have asked them to have dinner at our apartment (now that Sudipta is here .. a good cook) :) …


And lastly, I the gentoo linux tweak and customization is almost complete. I will write a guide “Gentoo Linux on Dell Inspiron 8600” and put that in my webpage in near future. (I dont know if google is ever going to index my page. I think I might go back to the old setup … ieng9.ucsd.edu… lets see)


… and it is almost 2 am, and I should be going to bed and try to get some sleep. I just set an alarm for 7:30 in the morning. I have to wake up…… I HAVE TO…
