Trip to Divinity

Trip to Divinity A view atop the hotel in Mussourie. Travel journal of my latest tour Day - 1    17.10.19 "In anticipation of something new excitement arose"   It's heard already to write this travel journal while being in train. My day has started much before anyone else as I left for work yesterday, worked the entire night, and in the morning around 10:30 I took a shared cab and left for Howrah railway station. The purpose of this trip was to start our journey from Lucknow and eventually reach Haridwar while covering few other places on the way.  While on cab I passed by the ever famous "Nakul & Girish Chandra" - the iconic sweet shop among Kolkatans. Alas it still remained just a glimpse. Shortly afterwards, the punchy and raw smell of the masalas woke me up in a frenzy only to remind me that I entered Burrabazar, a trader's place complete with snarling traffic and desperate me alone in a cab. The standstill traffic was the ...

Parsec Review

Parsec - Co-op Multiplayer Cloud Gaming Review (WIP) My computer is getting really old truth to be told. My computer specs are below: Core 2 Duo 3.0 Ghz 2x2 GB of Zion 800 Mhz Ram Nvidia Geforce GTX 550 Ti Redgear Pro Wireless Gamepad I have become fond of my Redgear Pro Wireless Gamepad. I can post the review of it later. So yesterday I was thinking about playing some latest games that will put my controller to put use and then came the idea of Cloud Gaming. The way Cloud Gaming works is that the latest and some older games are installed on the company's server computers. Those computers are equipped with the latest and modern hardware and software for which a common folk if wants to upgrade will run into $ 1000 to $ 2000. Those hardware of those computers process the game and the video of the output will be sent back to the user to watch. But it's a game so the user is given input controls which will be sent to the remote computers. There are few players i...
Coldplay - Hymn for the Weekend music video Review To start with I honestly am in love with this song. There have been controversies regarding cultural appropriation and I agree with that but what they have shown is not wrong either. False patriotism is by no means a thing to be proud of. But I'm not going to go into what controversies they run into. It's a straight up review slash personal opinion of mine.            Like million others, I see a lot of videos on youtube especially music videos. This one stand out for its own vision which the Coldplay team have perfectly achieved. Almost every part of the video is beautifully choreographed and the intensity of the music and its weight depicted almost uncanny. From the opening scene of Benares "he" sitting on the rooftop, the birds flying in the background to the explosion of colors, to the fire trick (which was enhanced by CGI) they seemed to be living in the moment. Yes, so high-so high ...

Believe in Yourself

We all come to this world with very specific aims & objectives but not all of us can realise our true goal because we fail to discover the power that has been gifted or bestowed upon us.      God is something which is omnipresent and that means he is present everywhere & in everything  & he is also present in every human-being & every living & non-living souls .      We always try to please others, in the hope of gaining something, we always like to discover us in someone so we try to know that person but seldom do we often realise, that a self-introspection can do more good than harm. Self-introspection is to introspect or examine yourself - examine the relationship between you & your soul because it's not the easiest thing to do, 'cause we often fail to understand ourselves.      And when we fail we shower upon ourselves with hopes of dispair, sadness, melancholy & discomfort but t...

Melancholy of a City

          I was walking down the road on a lovely evening in a deserted road in the middle of my mid-life crisis. I was walking along the deserted footpath & only few cars braved the roads with their headlights on. The city seemed quite gloomy & was unprepared for a night like this. For once it seemed to me, that the city has been rejected, cheated by those happy singles who call it their home & suddenly she was left to die when they became engaged & started making arrangements for the better parts of their life. They forgot that they weren't just living in a city, but it was like a living tree which sheltered the little men like her overgrown roots. She not only cared for them but made sure they find what they were looking for.                At that time they weren't looking for anything materialistic but something undefined. The city picked up the leftover trails...
