India and it's 64th Independence Day

[Thanks to friends who started following and commenting on my blogs. I wish they continue even after I continue posting more arbit stuff]

Last Sunday India celebrated it's 64th Independence Day. I couldn't feel the pulse being far from India. But even in US, Indians celebrate that day with great enthusiasm and spirit. 

Independence is the best boon India ever had, but I personally would love to spend some time before independence...may be time machine or something like that. That will give me a better realization of what Independence is. I have been looking for a proper and comprehensible definition of  "independence" in Indian context and  I read some editorial from Anandabazar and that was very interesting. Since I am independent I can hear music and I can select the song,frequency and intensity as long as it does not disturb others. It explains everything....!We can do whatever we like as long it does not hamper others' right of living their own life.

In my University the Indian organization organized a small cultural program(http://www.diamondbackonline.com/news/saris-samosas and-celebration-1.1536399). But let me now come to the point why I am writing a post on Indian Independence living all other interesting stuff happening across the world(like CWG and Maoists in India). Because I hoisted the flag that day. I was randomly selected from the crowd to do the job. It's a great feeling to hoist a flag abroad. It gives me a sense of patriotism and truly speaking I could introduce myself to the beautiful girls in Maryland. After that I was interviewed by a beautiful non-Indian lady(I should mention, initially I thought she was coming for an autograph). 

The only point which I would like to make that sometimes Indians try to be western but end up adopting the worse features of the Western Society. It is true even in my case. I live the weekdays like Indians(when I do some work and some rest and Americans work for the whole day) and weekends like Americans(Where I don't do any work but I am supposed to given my weekdays schedule). As soon as we will not be doing these kind of things, we could proceed way ahead. We have got the talent, we have to channelize properly.

Whatever, I see a better future for India, I might be optimistic....but let's see......!!!!!

Start-Up

Writing a blog for the first time in my life...!..In fact writing something non-technical,that too in English almost after more than 5 years....!So I do not expect this to be a fluent and grammatical error-free stuff.....If anybody cares I am sorry..............................!

I read some blogs regularly......One is great bong,which I think most bong people and many Indians read...I know there are many other good blogs ,but being an extremely uncultured and distant literature person,I don't read anything else. But I definitely read some of my friends'.  They are crazy I know, their blogs are even crazier...but I love them.....they write random stuff....I love anything which is random....

I think I have told enough of what I read....I am a Ph.D. student, that's why I should read a lot...anything ..random or deterministic ..technical or non-technical....But I do not love to read. Some professor in JU told me that if you read a lot you will be a teacher....But to be a researcher...you should think more than you read...Lot of reading make you biased and hinders your natural thought process.....I partially agree with that.......

BTW, I know cooking : which I think everyone in the earth should know. This is the toughest thing in life. Even harder is to cook for some others....I would really like to thank my room-mates who have fed me good food for the last one year and agreed to eat what I prepare with little grudge.I will post some interesting stories about our cooking in some future posts......After I started cooking, my respect towards my mother,grandmom and aunties increased by some 1000 times....I wish I could recruit a cook in my apartment for like 100 bucks or so....

I love to play cricket , although I dont play well...I love soccer more...and I used to be a good golie or defender in my school or college days. I should mention its surprising that as I grew older the people around me became worse in playing a sport....I dont know if I should generalize some linear relationship between higher educational degree and capability of playing a sport....

Ufff....I have written enough....I should stop now...Bye...!
