[With avid inputs from Ahuja Sir and Rajada ] While the Northern hemisphere looked forward to the blooms of spring, a tiny microorganism was and is wreaking havoc all around the globe. Somewhere in the winter of 2019 this nano virus hop-stepped and jumped over from possibly the Pangolin or the Himalayan Civet Cat or Bats onto the first human carrier, a 57 year old meat seller in Wuhan – China and spread like wildfire, engulfing many who came its way. Misery struck the world in the form of a pandemic that leaped in exponential progressions to suck up the energies and potentials of earth. People got hyperactive on various platforms of social media to project how well acquainted they were about the spread of the virus code named Covid 19 well, the Chinese virus to many, that arrived with a bouquet of unabated deaths. The message may have been absolutely clear about the spread of the disease with malafide intentions of the mighty that, many in the electronic media professed bu...

MOTORISED VEHICLE NUMBER PLATES A CONCEPT RESTRUCTURED Amit Mazumder Scientist 'F' Abstract:                  This paper attempts to establish a commonality by standardising the present scenario where the registration number plates of motorised vehicles are undergoing a linear expansion, with initial null values, as significantly stored values from inputs. This initial absence of numeric or character values, with inclusions later with expanding field lengths, has been discussed, with presentation of a concept to overcome this problem that's plaguing the motor vehicle database all over India. The need is fundamental and the concept presented may yield positive results resolving implementation and data maintenance issues.

Well, normally we too don't and his case wasn't of any difference. A sufficiently matured serviceman in his late fifties with experience taking a toll on his brain and psyche, he was fast approaching his superannuation from service in a couple of years.

Service Touch! In the bull run of consumerism and business proliferations, India has seen a huge leap forward in improving its outreach to every nook and corner of the country and the globe. Inter alia, the services industry has masqueraded to help consumers but never bothered to master the art of the industry. A small but, nonetheless insignificant, experience shared by a friend was an eye opener to the coolie class services that we are subscribed to. Tour operators book in volume that helps them get heaps of discounts in bulk that are never passed on to the customers. But these operators never think about the comfort of the customers even after profiting hugely from the transactions committed. It was one such trips that a friend too with his wife and kids to Singapore from Mumbai. After crossing the multiple check barriers installed on the Indian side, they were amazed by the seamless flow of checks on the Singaporean side. As they took a cab to their hotel, the wif...

Sir Ahuja Realisation was swift and, swifter was the need to get someone teach the likes of us good English, that'd make us more presentable in interviews. Among us, it was Ahuja, who had an exemplary flair and command over the language. Undisputed it was as we were too noob to challenge his authority in any manner whatsoever! With no intended pun, whenever he spake, we used to rush for the dictionaries, that were handy, to browse for the meanings of the words he used meticulously in sentences. It would be great fun to find a mistaken usage that he'd snub saying it was a figurative use. Not knowing sufficient English turned out to be a bane to tread in this modern world. Sufficient, I say because, we all had passed English as a subject in the board examinations. Never realised that the language would rattle us in this manner. All of the language that we knew, was sufficient to cater to our pursuits in science and engineering. It was only after passing out of college ...

The Charm of Badey Sharmaji and Chhotey Sharmaji The year, 1992. After finishing engineering, my friend Sanjay decided to move to Delhi from Tripura in search of job. Job was scarce those days and more was so in the northeastern States if the branch wasn't civil or electrical. He booked an air ticket to Calcutta, as was Kolkata known those days, and then by railroad to New Delhi. Air tickets to Calcutta from Agartala was difficult to get as it served as a lifeline with only one operator flying twice a day at subsidised government rates. Getting a reserved seat in trains was difficult too in those days of manual system that prevailed. But then, his accommodation was ready and available with confirmation that was arranged through a common friend. For someone from the Northeast, the metros were places where it simply didn't suit the lifestyle and more the so, the people out there. Alienation was more than the desired levels of acceptance. It was his grit and determination ...
