Salute to Edwin Armstrong

Edwin Armstrong is the inventor of FM Radio technology. But his invention was disputed because of some treacherous people.
Today is the sad day. As he could not accept the painful life, Armstrong committed suicide on this very day. RIP.

Two Years In Hell

Huh! Today is January 31, 2008. We had a celebration party of Entrance Day last year. In fact, our Entrance Day is on January 28 but last year we had the party 3 days later due to authorization errors.

This year, we are not celebrating this day. Badhan Roy Joy is the main reason behind this. On the day Jan 28, I had a busy day. And I had 3 hours gap in classes and sessional. I wished most of my friends, sat on the booth, did erroneous experiments in Lab and blah blah blah...

But it is today (Jan 31) that makes me nostalgic. I still feel the activities of the celebration. Now, I have lots of friends. But it is that day that helped me making friends. The photos I shot... I took shots of all the posters around the campus. I shared them with many friends. But now... I do not have the pictures. Funny nah? My Hard Disk Drive crashed a couple of times. So now I have nothing but memories. I am going to get some of the pictures soon. Its been a long time...

Yesterday, I got two of them. My good old friend asked me reason. What could I say? What I had to say... someone knows.

One more thing I wanna say now.... I am playing a new game in Facebook. Lets confuse 'em.

No Shwarma Today!

Mechanical Engineering Fundamentals Laboratory! I'm gonna hate this lab. I swear to that.

Last Sunday was vacation on Ashura. So today was my first lab on ME-268. I was early today reaching the lab. So I was standing on the veranda, a little bit nostalgic... because some of the students looked familiar.

After entering the lab, we were making fun of some instruments. A few minutes later, a madam entered the room. She was a beauty but I did hear that she is too rude. Today, she kept calm. Another teacher came and instructed us about lots of things. We were divided into 4 groups: 9 man per group! All hail teachers.

After the class, I accompanied Mersenne to Nilkhet and bought some books. We did boycott Yousuf Book Stall because they made some rude arguments with our students. After buying some books, we went back to Buet and sat on the booth made for saving Badhan Roy Joy. Billi walked past us twice to cafe and back from cafe. She did not receive my call. Maybe she kept her cell silent. Later, I was walking towards their crown and she called me. I did not receive, I kept standing silently right beside her and she was completely unaware of my presence. Then one of her friends gave a weird smile at me and poked Billi. After a while, I gave her a book and told her not to go to Yousuf Book Stall. She barked at me. I did not know a cat can bark!

Later, I went to cafe and walked around. Who knows who thinks whom I am looking for or whatever... blah blah blah...

I also warned Thiham apu and Tandra about Yousuf book stall. Then I saw Rushafi, and later Sam. Sam gave me a lift to Science Laboratory. I went to Malancha but there was no Shwarma. I was sad. Yet, I came back home with a few snacks and shared them with my mom.

Now I am going to play the DVD of Backstreet Boys. On the background, I am downloading Resident Evil: Extinction (the movie). Hope I can give a review on the movie soon.

Ciao.

New Week, New View

Now I'm gonna put some words about first day (today) of my 2nd week in this term. Once again, it was a sleepy day and the weather is still dull. I saw the sky crying since morning.

I had a very tough day finding a ride to Buet. Still I reached there in time. DMAM was again the first teacher in todays routine. As usual, he started from Electromagnetics and reached to some discussion about prophets. I found very disturbing in our gossips.

I had two more interesting and boring classes (Energy conversion and Mechanical Engineering Fundamentals) which went with a sleepy mood. Then, I had a scheduled class of Electronics but this teacher was absent for last three classes (the only classes of the first week). So, I was unsure whether he will come or not... so I walked to cafe and teased my khala, had my second breakfast, ran towards classroom to find that the teacher has come (at last he is present) and I was late. Sir was little bit disappointed about my late presence. Hopefully, I was not one only one who was late. More and more students kept arriving the class. After that, I had my statistics class which went nice.

Then was our general break for lunch. I was really surprised to find the tasteless food in our canteen at a higher price. Cafe was better.

After lunch, I went to cafe and kept my searching eyes for LWD but they were not anywhere! And the shocking thing is that a wild cat SMSed me saying that someone told her that I was looking for her! Ah...

After lunch, I arrived RNS Lab for MATLAB simulation (oh I love this lab), found it almost empty, teased khala again, booked the PC with maximum RAM for my group. Ain't that cool? Later, I was very happy to get the meaning of left division of matrices before the teachers. B-)

I was quite happy with this noisy day. After the classes I took Sourav to the cafe and had some snacks (fuchka too. Ah, that hurt.).

Home sweet home. Mom was waiting for me at home. I had my early dinner a few minutes ago while watching THE MORTAL KOMBAT: ANNIHILATION (the movie). And now... I'm blogging...

Sleepy Dayz

Ah... that is the end of another weekend.
What did I do on these two days (thursday and friday)? What could I do? I could not find the sun today. Though I saw him yesterday for a few minutes, but today was a total downer weather. Yesterday, I spent most of my time over internet. But today I just slept for good. Firstly, I left my bed at around 9AM to have my first breakfast and then went to bed again.
Later, I called Sourav to spend some practice time on MATLAB. Fortunately, Sourav is my group partner in Simulation Lab tomorrow.
Lets see what is waiting for me tomorrow.

Joy

Badhan Roy Joy. A very quiet boy. He is one of the least talkative boys in my class. Yes, Joy is a student of EEE, Buet.

I often sat beside him. He was a very slow walker from the beginning of our class. But he never mentioned about any problem. But when he started using a crutch, we knew something is wrong. He started getting slower and needed transportation of even a walking distance of 5 minutes. Else he could walk it all spending even half an hour.

My class of Level-2, Term-2 began this Saturday. On that very day, we heard the terrible fact. Joy is in a hospital. What happened? Let me tell you what can happen. The lower half of Joy's body can be paralyzed if we cannot get him to the operation theater within 15 days.

The family of Joy cannot bear the cost of about 10 lakh taka for this operation. So it is our duty to collect this money as soon as possible. I could write more about him here but it is better to put the link of http://savingjoy.googlepages.com or for ease of memory, http://savingjoy.tk for you to visit and try helping him walk again.

N.B Joy has been suffering from "Ankylosing Spondylitis". You can learn more about this disease from Wikipedia or MedicineNet.

DMAM and more

Today I had an interesting experience. It was a cloudy day. I could not find the sun before 9 AM.
I was late to start my journey for class and found an empty road ahead of me. I started walking and after a while I found a rickshaw near Central Hospital which I hired. As usual, I was nostalgic while passing Dhaka City College and then found Sam waiting on the road. Obviously he was waiting for some transportation. I told my rickshaw-puller to stop and then called Sam to travel with me. We traveled to Buet and kept talking shits.
Our first class was with DMAM sir. He was late so I kept walking on the corridor and enjoying the greens around EME Building. I entered the class right behind our teacher. It was quite a pleasant class. It was a lecture full of off-topics. I could not keep track of his speech. Some things he said meant that

• "There was a sheet (চাদর) which could be used to make Sidr."
• "Gopalganj is a bad area full of dengerous people"
• "Ziaur Rahman is shaheed"
• "Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is not called to be shaheed"
• "The knife which was used by Hazrat Ibrahim (A) was stolen"
• "Our attempt for submarine cable was a failure and was sabotaged 5 times"
• "Dragon Miah was a dangerous person."

At that time, I was thinking:
"আমার পাগলা ঘোড়ারে... কই থেইকা কই লইয়া যাস?"

Later, Fahim stood up and asked DMAM for permission to raise a question. Then the question came:

"স্যার, বর্তমান তত্ত্বাবধায়ক সরকারকে কিভাবে মূল্যায়ন করেন?"

At the same time, Tanz asked:
"স্যার, এই সরকার কি চাদরটা ফেরত আনতে পারবে?"
Sir said: "No!"

DMAM was too cautious about our job opportunity too. He mentioned that Power and Telecommunication are our targets. In fact, the only thing DMAM missed to mention was our course lecture topic for today.

Later, in our Mechanical Engineering theory class, our teacher made a brilliant comment:

"smooth যদি surface হয় তাহলে heat consumption আলাদা হবে"

I had a three hour gap between this class and the next sessional. I had my second breakfast and lunch during this time, encountered some ghost, talked shit with friends, had a brief conversation with a cat and LWD too. Dpu was struck with my sudden appearance.

My sessional was scheduled to start at around 2:30 PM but as the first session of the course, the teacher was late. Our teacher is a smart guy. He told almost everything necessary for this session. Fortunately I knew the rules so was not disappointed.

It was a day out of regular experience/expectation anyway.

That Old Feeling

It is around 6 AM and now I am waiting in front of my pc for nothing. My class starts at 8 AM on Monday. I am the only one awake in my home now. I wonder why do I wake up so early on regular class days. I left my bed at half past 5 AM and then I logged on my computer. Since then, I am here.
I will leave for class at around 7 AM. And my mom is asleep. Looks like I have to starve today. Again, this term gives me an awful experience in Buet. I have very little off time to take a rest or some food. Perhaps 1 AM is the only time (general break) for me to take rest today.

Some Photoshop Arts

I just found out some photoshop arts and they made me think of the power of the software for a while. I have been using Adobe Photoshop to edit images. But I cannot say that I am quite an expert. I wish I could give effects like this picture:

Again, if I look at another image...

These are really great pieces of arts. Before calling it over for today, I want to post another image:

Redwan talks again

At last I want to summarize my thoughts in a singe blog and so I started this blogger account. It has been a long time since I blogged in creative manner. But now I think I want to do more blogs regularly and with my own view and deep thoughts.
