Share: Lost Generation
Found this amazing script, which is both inspiring and motivative:
Lost Generation
I am part of the lost generation
and I refuse to believe
that I can change the world
I realize this may be a shock but
Happiness comes from within
is a lie, and
Money will make me happy.
So in 30 years I will tell my children
They are not the most important thing in my life.
My employer will know that
I have my priorities straight because
work
is more important than
family. Read more »

My Final Year
At last I am back to school again after 1 year of break! Taking full course load+ final year project (robocup). So, next eight months I will be at school most of the time. However, the weekends I will try to stay at home until my robots start moving.
I will post if there is any interesting finding. I will attend the IEEE Student Congress in Mississauga next week. Btw, this fall, Battle Royale Round III (oct 3rd) and IEEE Extreme (Oct 24th) coming up. Any one who is interested and can at least travel to Ottawa, don’t forget to sign up for Battle Royale. There will be nice games, and a lot of free gifts. Besides, every gamer will get steam account during the party, by the courtesy of Valve. IEEE Extreme requires to be CU student and IEEE member (it is prestigious though). That is all for today.

Rebel – বিদ্রোহী by Nazrul
When I was introduced to Nazrul at very young age, I was astonished by his extra ordinary and strong writing. Later through my mom, who always encouraged me to read books and helped me to choose right kind of books, I discovered peaceful Nazrul in his poems, drama and novels. Anyway, I am not going to talk about peaceful Nazrul in this article, but the rebel one. I got his “Vangar Gaan” [Song of breaking (chain)] when I was in grade 6; and something changed me. I am sure any kid who will read his works, has to change…. they are just magical. However, about Vangar Gaan, it was banned by British Government in 1924, 11th November, where he demanded freedom of political arrests and the language was more like “to break those prisons and shame on the mother (the queen) who failed to protect her children and ordered to put them in prison”. This poem is still banned in Britain. (So, if you are from UK, read this article at your own responsibility.)

কোনো সমস্যা নিয়ে কিভাবে প্রশ্ন করবেন?
অামরা অনেক সময়েই ব্লগ, ফোরাম, মেইলিং লিস্ট-এ বিভিন্ন সমস্যা নিয়ে প্রশ্ন করি। সাধারণত ঐ বিষয়ের বিশেষজ্ঞরা এসব প্রশ্নের জবাব দেন। কখনও দেখা যায় অনেক জবাব, কখনও কেউ কোন উত্তর পাওয়া যায়না। অনেক সময়ে অাবার উত্তর দিলেও ঠিক অাপনি যা খুঁজছিলেন, তার উত্তর না। কখনও কখনও মানুষ অনেক বিরক্ত হয়। অামরা একটু নিচের ছোট নিয়মগুলো মেনে চললেই কিন্তু এরকম সমস্যায় পড়তে হয়না।
