Feluda’s Virtual office

0


Do you believe that a detective has a virtual office with all his feats with attractive adventurous news? Yes, our Feluda has such a virtual office cum museum. If sherlock ‘Homes can have a museum to himself, why not our very own Feluda?? That’s the thought that struck UK based neurologist Soumit Dasgupta. He has planned to create a virtual museum for Feluda. His plan has now taken a shape of a mission with global community of Feluda fans joining hands to realize the dream project.


As the idea continued to dwell in Dasgupta’s mind, he used the Feluda fan club on a social networking site as a sounding board. The response was overwhelming with people from all over the globe keen on the initiative. The response encouraged him and made him realized that Feluda indeed is the most popular of all detectives in Bengali literature.


Sujoy Bbhoumik from Cambridge and US citizen Subha Ganguly were among those who expressed keenness to join the initiative. To start with, they have decided to set up a website to display ‘memorabilia’ from Feluda exploits. Soumendu Das Munshi, a Kolkata-based techie has been appointed to create a full-fledged portal on Feluda


The virtual collection on the current website (********** ) includes an expensive collection of Feluda – From Sonar Kella to Samaddarer Chabi, from Royal Bengal Rahosshya to Jata kando Kathmandute..All the adventurous events are there to quench the readers thirst.


Mean while the team is creating a charitable trust, Feluda Incorporation, for donations to fund the museum. Sandip Roy, the great son of the great detective creator has stretched his helping hands to give it a perfect shape. Within a few days readers will find a BIG office of their dear private detective Prodosh Chandra Mitter.

He is short, two years away from his teens. But he is walking 10 feet tall. Becoming the youngest graduate at 11 years and 2 month, Tathagata Avtar Tulsi has rewritten the Guinness Book of Records. Scoring 70 percent, he graduated with honors in Physics from Patna University.

Tathagata’s father, Tulsi Narayan Prasad claims his son has smashed the record of Jay Luo of Garden City, USA, who graduated in science from Boise University, Idaho, when he was 12 years 1 month and 12 days old.

Tathagata took the part I, II & III examination is the same year, But making him sit for the examination was a battle hard fight and last he won. Patna University was in quandary, but the Patna High Court stepped in allowing him to take all three examinations.

University authorities however are guarded about letting him enroll for the M.Sc course.
“We planned his admission but the university does not seem to agree” Tulsi Prasad Said.

Records are not new for Tathagata. When he passed the CBSE at age nine and half he was said to have broken the record of Alexander Hill of England, who passed his school-leaving examination when he was 10 years and 2 months old.

Tathagata is n Delhi; “I am very happy and proud to be the youngest graduate” was all he said.” He is not kind of boy to jump about excitement” Tulsi Prasad said.

The boy from modest home in Bhojpur district of Central Bihar claims to have authored a paper titled “Electrogravity unification and energy loss phenomenon”. His father said offers were on to find a British publisher for the paper.

Is terrorism a part of our life ?

0

Today some situations have forced me to write about the present condition we are going through. Our life has deeply been infested by the present political as well as economic condition. Every country is trying to boost up the world market status. In this bad phase terrorism has found a good chance to show its power and existence. Excelling all the situations terrorism has raised its arrogant head to prove that he is reining. Terrorist should not have its own race and religion. The recent bomb blast in Marriott Hotel has proved this. We are also counting the number of deaths we have discovered yet from this Mumbai attack.
Now the question comes what is Terrorism? I have taken help of many sources to define the term terrorism

As Lenin said, "The purpose of terrorism is to terrorize."To terrorize means to frighten, and usually for some end, not necessarily political. The truly effective terrorist is able to frighten the greatest number of people - and the living who have been terrorized are the true victims of terrorism. This is one of the reasons the terrorist hits at innocent targets - children, tourists, and the elderly. The helpless target is so much more of a victim, and most people can identify with being victimized in the same way. To the public a random bombing of a school bus full of children is far more threatening than the assassination of a ranking officer in the military? The bombing in Oklahoma City was even more terrifying because it destroyed a day care centre.

Terrorists don’t care the race or religion they belong to. They even harm its raring country also. Everyday they are doing their notorious feats and proclaim their responsibility in the blast, attack etc whatever they do. I have collected some information of the larger attacks we have experienced this year. Losing of life of 10 or 20 people a day is so trivial incident that it needs no explanation. I have left them

On May.13th.2008 in Jaipur of Rajastan (India)
A simultaneous bomb blast at eight different sites, including a crowded shopping site and a Hanuman temple, a self-styled Indian Mujahideen, (a collaboration of LeT & SIMI) has claimed responsibility.

On September.6th.2008 in Peshawar.of Afghanistan

Died: 50 Injured- 80

On September. 17th.2008 in the city of Sana of Yemen
A car bomb exploded outside the U.S. Embassy and was ambushed by militants. The attackers, reportedly dressed as policemen, also exchanged rocket and gun fire. A group calling itself Islamic Jihad in Yemen claimed responsibility.
Died: 16 injured- 16


On September 20th.08 in Islamabad of Pakistan
The Marriott Hotel is attacked by a massive suicide car bomb, killing over 60 and injuring 250. The blast caused a natural gas leak fire, which destroyed the hotel further. Hours before the blast, President Asif Ali Zardari addressed a joint session of Parliament and promised to root out terrorism
Died: 60 Injured- 250


On Oct.10.2008 in Orakzai.of Pakistan

A suicide bomber drove his car into a meeting of 600 people which was being held in open ground and blew himself up. The meeting was a council of local leaders discussing to raise a militia to evict Taliban from the region.
Died – 113 Injured- 100+


On October.30.2008 in Guwahati of Assam(India)
A series of 13 blasts occurred in and around Guwahati.
Died: 84 Injured- 470


Nov.26.08 in Mumbai of Maharastra(India)
The Mumbai Attack : Chief Minister of Maharastra Mr Bilas Rao Deshmukh and Home Minister Mr Shivraj Patil resigned. Investigation continuing

Died: 160 Injured- 300+ (As per current report)

On this above information we can say that terrorism has become a part of our life. But the question is that "Is it desirable ??"

Do we all really want this situation ???
Should we not stand up against this deadlier custom ?( I should consider this as custom )
Who help and rare the terrorist?? Who sponsor them?? Who help them supplying weapons and secret information?? How they escape from the spot leaving almost no trace and clues?? How they get courage enough to declare that they have done the attack or blast? Which situation compels them to become terrorists rather than a responsible citizen?? Poverty?? Hunger?? Maniac?? or anything else ?? There is lots of question

The sponsored group, party, state or country should realize that terrorism can not be the ultimate solution of any human activity. Supporting terrorism is just inviting destruction.

“The lives of Sri Aurobindo” faced ban

1


The most debating book “The lives of Sri Aurobindo” got a red signal from Orissa Hight Court when someone submitted a petition against mentioning unauthenticated information about Sri Aurobindo and his life.

The book is said to contain objectionable remarks against The Mother and Sri Aurobindo. The lives of Sri Aurobindo – is written by Peter Heehs, an American who is one of the founders of Sri Aurobindo Ashram Archives in Puduchery. The book was published in the US in May this year by Colombia Press and was to be re-printed by Penguin India in November.

Some of the writings as mentioned in the petition are “Aurobindo’s character, life, writings and thoughts did not hold integrity”, “He possesses a morally loose character”, “his claims to spiritual expression and realization is questionable and irrelevant” and that his spirituality emerges from a streak of inherited madness.”

The most shocking claims by the writer is that Aurobindo’s relationship with the Mother was romantic in nature”, the petitioner has said. She also has quoted the preface of the book: “A statement on the politician or poet that rubs the people wrong way will turn into a political or legal issue or possibility causes a riot”.

The petitioner has claimed that the book is aimed at tarnishing the images of Shreema and Aurobindo and it was like an “invasion on the religious sentiment of Indians”.

The publisher has also been ordered not to publish the book until it gets no-objectionable certificate from the court as well as Union Home Ministry.
