Just returned from West Bengal!

I just returned from West Bengal. Well when anyone asks me about my native place, an impression of Kolkata comes into his/her mind. Busy streets with traffic jams every 30 seconds(I am not exaggerating!,in some cases within 15 seconds too!), countless number of shops, and large number of old buildings indeed comes to everyone's mind when I tell them it's West Bengal. But west Bengal does not only consist of Kolkata. There various other large towns like Krishnanagar,Ranaghat, Naihati, Siliguri,etc without which the essence of this state is negligible.
Each of them has its own charm and uniqueness. I have been to Krishnanagar the most number of times as it's my native place.So let me give some tidbits about this place.
Krishnanagar is the district headquarters of Nadia district of West Bengal.


Location of Krishnanagar in Nadia District
I am listing some of the specialities of this city below:
1. It's clay toys

Krishnanagar is famous for its clay toys. Not only for its clay toys it's also famous for its sculptures.India's leading sculpturers hail from this town. Shopping there for its toys is always recommended for its large variety and beautiful designs.


2. Iskcon Mayapur

The front gate view of Iskcon Mayapur
Iskcon Mayapur is headquarters of International Society Of Krishna Consciousness(ISKCON) which has its centres all over the world.It's about 30kms from Krishnanagar.
Internal view of Iskcon temple
When I visited this place, I was bowled out by its extensive area and cleanliness (You would not find a single spec of dust in this place. Frankly speaking I feel it's the cleanest place in Earth after visiting this place.
There are many other specialties of this town which I shall describe in my subsequent posts.

Exams Over...It's time to take computer courses

Well my semester exams are over....I was waiting for this day to come.After a month of struggling with books,we are now having a vacation of two months.I was sooooooo happy.But... wait....now its time to take summer training courses in C and C++.
A few days back while browsing the net I came across a website http://www.bputalert.com/
It's a website created by the student community of our university(i.e BPUT).It is essentially a BPUT student friendly website which gives information on the latest happenings in BPUT. Though the website is still in its infancy but I would say that it is a good initiative taken up by the students.
There I got to know that they are arranging a short term course in web designing.I am just a novice in this concept so I thought of applying for the course. There you have to submit your resume and then they will shortlist the candidates on the basis of it. Okay I thought let me give a try. I applied for it and happily I got selected for the course...
Well that was the happy news ...But the sad news is they strictly told me to bring my laptop in order to carry on with this course which I don't have(I only have my desktop).Today I was busy the whole day in asking for a laptop from my friends.Happily I got one but I missed my scheduled batch and would have to manage for the next forthcoming batches.
Now I have to get busy simultaneously for my C and C++ courses. I now have to search for a good training centre for the courses.

My First Blog

Well it's my first blog....
Before starting let me tell you about myself. I'm an engineering student with Computer Science as my subject.I took computer science because I'm too addicted towards it. All the time you will be finding me sitting before the computer and exploring its various features specially the windows XP. Well I find XP more interesting than Vista!
Well apart from exploring the computer I also love answering the questions related to the computer stuff in the Yahoo!Answers (Though I'm just a newcomer to it and in level 1!)
Let this post be short one. I hope to get friends who are just as computer savvy as I am...
