We had a party recently on 23^rd November 2007.  It was an evening party arranged by our Director Mrs. Maitrayee Sinharoy.  The party was held at Dakshin Kolkata Sansad Club.  In Bengali "Dakshin"  means south as it is located at Deshapriya Park in Kolkata which is near Gariahat.  We went to the party at 6 p.m. after our morning shift work.  The afternoon shift of mine being changed to morning shift and the night shift will be held as usual for those whose duties are in night!  Anyway..we went to the club.  It is a nice and a lovely place to be in.  The club is a big one with beautiful swimming pool, bars, tennis courts with bright lights overhead shining like the bright sun in the sky!  Each playground fenced high above so that no balls could hit passerby.  Large number of trees are planted to make the club be in close touch with nature!  The club is filled with members from rich class and the last time we had party I met Tollywood actor Indrajeet there.  He is a guy all the Bengalis know and he has a nice figure, tall and handsome.  He has a nice built body as he regularly works out in Dakshin Kolkata Sansad club (we call the club as DKS) gymnasium.  The club has restaurants over the park and the round tables placed at regular intervals look really great with old and young people chatting and passing some time and relaxing after a hard routine life! 

Our party started around 6 p.m. and Sabyasachi Mukherjee came and brought the music players with him.  He connected them and songs of Hollywood and Bollywood started playing one by one and the employees of Infovision came one by one. Our company arranged a lot of games that included Passing the Buck, Queen of Sheeba, etc. 

In the game called "passing the buck" we were asked to sit in a circle in chairs and asked to pass the big round packet.  The music started playing and our Quality Analyst Salim Sakir acted as a DJ and he stopped the music and the person holding the packet at the time of the music being stopped should do something as instructed in the tiny slip of paper.  Sometimes he is asked to act like a baby, sometimes sing in mother tongue, sometimes move out of the group, sometimes dance and sing, etc.  It is fun to play this game and it gives you a belly laugh as you see sometime getting nervous in the acting.  In my turn, I was asked to sing a song in mother tongue.  I sang "Alo amar alo" (light my light) a song by Rabindranath Tagore.  I play this music in my synthesizer or keyboard.  So it is easier for me to sing 2 or 3 lines.  I got a prize also, a cup.  The cup is made of steel with plastic handle with the name of our company "Infovision" being printed on it.

Queen of Sheeba is the next game.  Mr. Sakir spoke, " who has white handkerchief?"  The person who has a white handkerchief should go.  I also had one but I reacted slow so I could not get the prize, another guy got it.  Anyway Mr. Sakir told clean the handkerchief and bring as it has already changed its color as I am carrying it since 6 0'clock in the morning.  He has a sense of humor.  This is the first time I realized and smiled.  Then he said, "shirt with white stripes."  I instantly raised my hand and got the prize.  I feel lucky my aunt gave me the t-shirt a few days ago.  Anyway in Queen of Sheeba I got 1 prize. 

There was individual performance and a guy who recently joined our company named Devang gave a musical flavor by singing Bollywood songs and all of us cheered him and from our requests he sang one after another songs.  I felt that a song can win heart so easily!  I can play music but I cannot sing well, I felt that's why singers are so popular than any other musicians.  They can win heart by the melodious voice!  A nice voice in this world is worth a million you know that when you hear a nice voice in radio, you feel happy and refreshed! 

We had a lucky draw and my number 15 seemed unlucky and so I could not get prize for that.  At the beginning of the party, we were told to estimate the weight of a packet and each of us estimated and wrote the weight and our name beside it.  I estimated the weight s 2 kg 500 g while the actual weight is 1 kg 326 g.  Actually the weight was estimated by an employee of our company and he estimated astonishingly well and guessed it to be 1 kg 300 g.  We were all astonished.

We had our dinner around 8 p.m. and our menu consisted of papad, fried rice, chicken, fish fry, torka, tandoori roti, ice cream.  We had our dinner and then we had the dance party finally.  We danced till 9 p.m. and finally we returned home with a fresh, happy, tension free, and joyful mind.     

hi!!

friends how r u????????????

ALL ARE WELCOME!

The death by starvation are usually headline grabbers in this world where we talk often of the rich and their wealth and our government with a number of plans for the development of poor fail to help them to bring their both ends meet.  In this case, an entire community is on the brink of starvation throughout the year.  The Musahars are one such group in Uttar Pradesh who eat once a day! In the evening, they live on meal.  I am telling you this story just after Diwali as to compare that there is other side of life people who are dying in this world influenced and bombarded with advertisements of Dhanteras and a lot more to entice the minds for selling. 

There are only 25 families in Barrachawar Block in Ghazipur in eastern UP.  They eat each day after their males return from work with their daily wage! One of the women named Rajmunna states that they had to depend on their daily wage of Rs. 10 to 25 upon which their large family of eight takes food!  They take 2 chapatis each and a quarter kilo of dal is enough for them.  But do u think that this is enough for a human being to survive?  On occasion, they get some vegetables with which they prepare a gravy. She describes her hunger as a burning pit in the abdomen.  Rinku, a teenage has been diagnosed with TB of the bones although no treatment could be given to her.  The Musahars claim that a health worker makes the rounds in their area but gives injections only when given Rs. 10. 

Their condition is worse in August and September when the demand for agricultural labor is less.  The chula being lit once in 2 days and the children had to take stale rotis the next morning.  According to a study by Indian Institute from Rural Management states that 90 per cent of the Musahar children below 6 suffer from malnutrition.  Tuberculosis and rheumatic fever are common.

There is no electricity in the area.  There is waterlogging in the monsoons.  So the families have to take shelter in the Block Development Office premises.  Their possession  are few and simple.  They own a charpoy to sleep, some utensils for cooking and some tattered garments.  If we compare this to a  normal person whose belongings are huge and it costs him much for his shifting from old home to a new one..we get surprised and amazed to see the world with people so different from each other due to their social stratification.

After a full day's work, we need to sleep.  Some says 6 hours sleep is necessary and some says 8 hours is essential.  Without some hours of sleep, the brain do not lose its tiredness and the body cannot work like before.  But according to a research done in University of California, the results give a complete different opinion.  Dr. Matthew Walker of California University studied many people and found that after a long time, sleep is necessary but sleep everyday is not so important.  It is not necessary to sleep measuring the hours.  Dr. Walker thinks that sleep does not make the brain active and this is not a scientific truth.  If you sleep less, your capacity of work increases.  Though the body gets tired, the brain activity increases and mental power increases.  But in conclusion of his research paper, Dr. Walker thinks that without sleep our brain becomes a the brain of an early man or prehistoric man.  In that stage, the brain is active but we become too much emotional and fearful.  So it is said that sleepless for a long time is good.  But it is false that if we do not sleep for a calculated time, we will die.  The body is made in such a way that it will automatically decide how many hours to take sleep.  The physical activity will depend of biological clock.  The body adjusts its sleep and awakening state with the help of this biological clock.

Now I will tell you what happens to a back office worker.  I will tell you my story.  I am a medical transcriptionist working in a company at Kolkata.  I work in three shift: morning, afternoon and night.  I will tell you about what happens in the night shift.  My night shift starts at 9 a.m. and ends at 7 a.m.  So I get ready at 7:30 p.m. and get out from my home towards office.  I reach office around 8:30 p.m. and start work and I work till 6:30 to 7 a.m.  Around 5 p.m. there is a drowsiness in my body and I feel drowsy and my eyes start burning as I work in front of computer and our computer screen are not protected by anti-glare screen as I have in home.  So I return home around 8 a.m. and go to sleep.  But sleep is not so easy in the morning.  I read newspapers and then try to sleep.  Around 9 a.m. I enter the world of sleep and even slight noise makes me up.  It is fact that morning sleep is light than the night's.  I sleep till 1 p.m. and again go to sleep after  having lunch.  I wake up in the evening and do some exercise and get ready to go to office.  As the night shift goes on for 5 to 6 days, in the fourth or fifth day, I get tired and my sleep decreases and hardly 4 hours sleep is there.  You know in the night shift, my mind is active and I often score much more than my target!  Once I scored 800 lines at night in the first night shift.  In night, the work goes more smoothly than in morning or other shifts. Probably the above-mentioned scientific fact is true!

We all know Harry Potter, a popular character created by J.K. Rowling and the series created by her has amazed old and young around the world.  This story has made boys and girls queue in front of the book outlets for the big fat book of Harry Potter.  Harry Potter enters the young minds with a storm.  We do have a lot of fairy tales but the Potter stories are "Macrofairy Tales."  I call it macro as the books are big and fat.  The children already overburdened with studies and home works in school. 

I call this a craze.  The people are queueing up the book shops from night and get the copies.  There is a serpentine queques.  The book has created a craze like movie.  Suddenly people realized that reading a book is important.  This is mainly created by media.  We are always hearing in radio and reading reviews of Rowling books in newspapers!  This created such a "sleepless craze."

In this world where science should be given more priority, we are giving priority to the silly stories where Potter flies with the help of a broom and all sorts of wild things happen in the story causing a child to live in a world of illusion.  In my childhood, I have read stories of Rapunzel where a girl with long hair puts her hair down from a window and her lover climbs with the long and firm hair to enter her room in  the tower.  The story in Bengal of "Sonar Kati and Rupor Kati" (Gold and Silver Magic Wand) turns people to sleep and wakes him up.  Such stories are wonderful but they did not get such a massive publicity because we read them and our memories fade as we go on learning physics and chemistry and other hard things of life.

I do not advice parents to go for reality stories but science books should also be given to their child along with the fairy tales because one should also develop and inculcate a scientific attitude because superstition can ruin a life!  Superstition is harmful as a parasite developing in the mind and it can harm you and your family like AIDS.  Its infectious and that is the most harmful thing in Harry Potter books.  Accused of being witch still we find many wives being burnt in remotes villages of India.  The incidents can hurt the mind of the people.  It is only through proper education we can eradicate and wipe out this forever!

Some people love to learn language.  They go to institute and enroll in a language course where both written and spoken form of that particular language is taught.  A British Indian student amazed his teachers by learning to speak 10 different languages.  Arpan Sharma is a 10-year-old boy who lives in Oldbury, West Mids.  He has a lot of lot of interest in languages.  He taught himself the following languages:

1. French.
2. Spanish.
3. German.
4. Italian.
5. Swahili.
6. Mandarin.
7. Polish.
8. Thai.
9. The difficult language Lugandan of Uganda.
10.  Hindi.

The boy has learnt Hindi also from his parents.  It has been reported by Daily Mirror of London.  Richard Lynn, headmaster of Blue Coat School stated that Arpan is a language genius.  He listens to the exact pronunciation of a word from a language and can repeat it perfectly.  He learnt this language using CD ROMs.

In fact in my life, I started learning Hindi first when I was in St. Thomas Church School at Howrah Maidan.  There were a large number of Hindi-speaking boys and girls.  First the language was strange to me when I was admitted in class 2.  I then listened to my friends speaking.  I heard them speak the Hindi and just tried to guess the meaning.  First my friends used to laugh when they saw me looking at them surprised.  Then they learnt that my problem.  I gradually picked up the language as time progressed.  First one or two words, then phrases and then sentences.  Then a time came when I started learning the language as my third language from 7 and 8 classes.  I studied the languages and attended classes in my school.  I loved Hindi.  I  was proud that I was learning a language which is primarily a language of my own land.  I felt proud of this language.  I studied so well in one term of my three term exams in class, that I scored 72 out of 100 in Hindi.  It was a scoring language with simple questions in exam.  Our teacher wore a spectacle and he is lean and thin and tall.  But he used to teach us well! 

After my graduation in Anthropology in Bangabasi College in Kolkata, I studied French language.  I got interested to study French from my father who also learnt French in his student life.  I enrolled in Alliance Francaise, which is quite a reputed institute in Kolkata.  It has branches in 4 metropolitan cities in India.  Students who get trained and get the highest degree in Alliance Francaise, Diplome Superior go to France after an All India Competition and get a teacher's training to teach the language in Alliance Francaise itself.  I enrolled the course of first eight months.  It is called "Neveu Un."   I studied the language.  They taught us to write and speak the language.  French is a language where the whole world is divided into masculine (in French "masculin") and feminine (in French "feminine").  They use the same alphabets of English but their pronunciations are different.  Overall it is quite interesting to learn this language.  The spelling of the adjective gets different, in fact the adjective becomes plural when the noun becomes plural.  There are also regular and irregular verbs whose conjugations you have learn by heart!  The regular verbs have a pattern but there are irregular verbs whose conjugations if not known you cannot write or speak!  So this language is a precision language where a small fault might land in trouble while speaking or writing.  Besides there are different accent signs, three signs are used here; "accent aigu", "accent grave" and "accent circonflexe."  In all the language is interesting to study.

Learning language can be a wonderful hobby just like music and coin collection.  It is rather more absorbing and brain storming as you go on learning a difficult language, you brain works more and you get more pleasure in learning something and memorizing sounds and words not used in your society.  Some people may discourage you and this discouragement comes primarily from parents who tell you not to go for fruitless pursuits.  Career oriented courses are always recommended by parents.  It is good but if you have an established career, you can chase your dreams and do something YOU LIKE!

Samsung Electronics of South Korea declared on Tuesday that it has developed the world's most powerful memory chip.  This could help create a memory card of 80 DVD movies!  Just imagine!  The company declared that it had developed a 64-gigabit NAND flash memory product.  It called this as a major leap forward in flash storage.  To make a 128 gigabyte memory card, we need 16 chips.  The capacity of this is to store 80 DVD movies or it can store 32,000 mp3 files!!  The production of such a memory chip would start in 2009.  Samsung claimed that their new product would create a 20 billion dollar market until 2011 by offering fresh applications for various mobile handsets, digital cameras and mp3 players.  The conventional memory chips used for personal computers are DRAM i.e. dynamic random access memory.  Flash memory can retain and store information when the power of the device is turned off!

Samsung, the world’s largest maker of computer memory chips, unveiled a 64-gigabit NAND flash memory chip based on finer process technology using 30-nanometer circuit elements. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter.

Currently, the bulk of Samsung’s flash memory chips are produced using 50-nanometer process technology, she said.

The company, based in Suwon, South Korea, recorded a net profit of 2.19 trillion won (US$2.4 billion; 1.7 billion euro) in the third quarter of this year, a gain of 1 percent from the same period last year.

The company recorded record sales of 16.68 trillion won (US$18.28 billion; 12.9 billion euro), up 9.6 percent from the third quarter in 2006.
