Weekend Movie Trip - "We Are Family"

Today at noon we (me and my friends) went to see the film 'We Are Family' starring Kajol, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal. I didn't have great expectations from a bollywood movie with a title like that. And it did not exceed any of it. Though it started well, in the later part it got boring with too much sobbing and all the emotional stuffs. Overall, it is not a bad movie, quite watchable.

I bought the movie tickets with the Giftmate voucher I was wanting to spend for sometime. Though Bookmyshow.com accepts giftmate I didn't get the option from their main website. I had go through the link http://www.paymate.co.in/movies/

Rainbows

In this rainy season you get to see rainbows frequently. Though they are not always prominent or a complete semi-circle. The other day I spotted a beautiful rainbow from horizon to horizon.

Even a more beautiful shot was taken by one of the employees at our Bantala office.

I am back!

Well, it has been a long time since I last posted. Last time, I posted about joining Cognizant as a software engineer. A lot has happened since then. We did a three month training at Cognizant, and then soon after we started working on actual projects. The training period was a fun one. I think for me it was more fun than college (guess why?). The good thing is I am posted in Kolkata itself, some 100 kilometers from home. I am able to visit home on weekends. I have pretty busy work schedule now-a-days. I hardly get free time out of office. But, generally speaking life is a little better now.

Joined Cognizant

Last week, I joined Cognizant as a Program Analyst Trainee. With this, I began my professional life as well. Now, we are going through the training program. Some more studies and exams for the next 3 months. So, I am very busy these days. My lazy life has been completely rescheduled. I am getting very little time now to spend on the blogosphere.

Happy New Year!

Wish everyone a Happy New Year. 2009 had been a significant year for me. Most importantly, I graduated in that year as well as began my professional life.
I hope 2010 will bring new hope and happiness to everyone's life.

Bardhaman Book Fair 2009

I have been to the 32nd Bardhaman Book Fair today with a friend of mine. We roamed for an hour or so and browsed through many old and new books. I bought a Douglas Adams book (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), I was wanting to buy for a while. I am wishing to visit it again later this week.

The book fair is running from December 11 to 20 at Shankari Pukur Utsav Maidan. So if you are in Burdwan, be sure to visit it on or before the next Sunday. Apart from books there are some cultural festivals almost everyday during the fair.

Geminid Meteor Shower Peaks on Dec. 13th

Just to let you know, the Geminid meteor shower is underway. You should be able to spot some meteors if you look long enough at the sky, say, for 15 minutes. The meteor rate will increase, of course. Though, it is quite cold outside at night, you might not want to miss the peak on Sunday night, Dec. 13th. More than 100 meteors are expected per hour.
