And There He Stands, As if Alive...

If you have no idea what the title means, click it.
And Here's Dibyayan...

The Big(?) Eight

His Next Duchess ?

Same Question, I'm Afraid...

Is that Beer ?



Well, I asked Dibyayan to send me some photos from way-over-there, place-outside-the-Indian-education-system, too-many-hyphens, etc. , and he obliged, but, he has decided to keep his friends' names to himself, saying " Maybe i'll include them depending on the interest received overseases " ( HA! Take that Dibyayan ! Criticising my ungrezi indeed ! Graumph! ).
Oh, and by the way, check out Dibyayan's List Of Titles : Dibyayan (Dev) Basu, Co-op Management Finance Specialist, University of Toronto 2009, MESA Financial Experience (FinEX) Volunteer. (Wipes Tear) Just 18, and he's got half the alphabet after him. It seems like just yesterday that he was jumping up and down shouting "treat" during breaktime. The Wheel turns.

Xavier's College has at last, become autonomous, and is now offering two new courses - Astrophysics and an integrated Biotech course ( Which just happens to satisfy the criteria for getting a Rs.1200000 grant from the state ). SXCS, as is usual where FohShow is involved, is steadily sinking deeper into intellectual depression .

- Bye, Debayan Gupta .

P.S. : Did you know? :

(i) In France, it is illegal for a person to kiss another on railways.

(ii) In Quebec, Canada, an old law states that margarine must be a different colour than butter.

(iii) Anssi Vanjoki, a director of the Finnish telecommunications giant, Nokia, was caught on his Harley motorcycle, doing 47mph in a 31mph zone. His fine was calculated at 14 days of his average income in 1999, which worked out to 116,000 Euros ($148,573US today), the record fine at that time. But wait! You know how the technology market is up and down. Well, Vanjoki petitioned the court for a reduction in the fine, because his 1999 earnings were based on large share options that he had cashed in at the end of the year. A subsequent drop in the market, meant a big dip in his income the next year. He ended up paying only 5% of the original fine. Vanjoki's case apparently didn't serve as a warning to others, because in February of 2004, another fast Finn felt the fickle finger of fine fate. Jussi Salonoja, the 27-year old heir to his family's sausage business, was also nabbed for doing 80kph in a 40kph zone. The fine? A new record- 170,000 Euros, or $217,736 in today's US dollars. The amount was based on tax records that showed his earnings in 2002, amounted to $13,243,279.

P.P.S. : Comment, or I will unleash upon the world the horrors of Sharma's failed love poetry ! Mbwhahahahahaha !

Time to add some names to these pictures. The first if from Prom last year, with the most important person to the extreme right of the picture. The second, is not of a future duchess at all. The girl though is rather exotic. She's born in Kenya, brought up in Mauritius, and currently in Canada. Unfortunately, we share a quasi brother-sister. Oh, and her name is Nishta relationship. The third picture is of my current girlfriend, Krista. She's half italian, half german and most surprisingly rather good at learning bengali.

LASTLY>>> Yes that is beer...rather cheap beer that isn't to my taste (I prefer Belgian Stella), but at a house party it's futile to expect more...Cheers mates - Dibyayan
