SUMMER OF 2007

Its been a long time since my last post.thought of jotting down something today.tomorrow i will be back in college after spending a rather long holiday(summer holiday).so let me recollect the happenings of the last 35 days(time span of my holiday).my semester exam ended on the 15th and returned home on 17th(if u are wondering wat happened to the one day in between,i dont actually want to remember that).anyways.it was a HOLIDAY and i was back home.seems like a lot of fun isnt it.but soon i realaized that it was turning out to be a horrific thing.far from enjoying it i was being bored to death.how long can a person survive with nothing to do other than have long sleeping sessions(i never woke earlier than 10 o clock),extended movie sessions(saw as many as 3 to 4 films a day),delightful eating sessions(i always munch onto something) and the online sessions(i never happen to be there wen the bill comes home).my life became aimless and hopeless.then 25th of june arrived.one week of trechery came to an end i supposed.our summer training was due to start that day.i was very happy as i got something worthwhile to spend my time.there we were and i met many old frnds their.the center was CMERI,durgapur.the first day we were given a project(did i just say PROJECT.yes i did.it was a PROJECT and not training).5 of us(DOYEL , NILANJAN , SOUMYADEEP , SOUPARNA and ME)of the same college were given the grand task of designing a web page for them using things like PHP and JAVASCRIPT about which we had no idea before.the task seemed wonderful but we had no idea how to proceed with it.somehow we decided that we wil take a week off andeach of us will decide what to do and how to proceed.actually that was just an excuse for us to start it one week late as we had no idea of it.after 1 week we decided that we will have to do everything in the institute together as staying at home is not helping any more.that was the day(2nd july),when we ultimately strted our project and that was the day i worked the most and found interest in the job.
now let me introduce with a 2nd grp who were given the same job as ours in the same room and they were up to their task from the 1st day itself.their head(better not take HER name) ran an one woman show controlling the other 3 members of her group.there was a boy in the group who was actually the odd one out.anyways i will not waste time by writing the exploits of that group.they finished their project by the 3rd week and were off from our room(except fr that boy,for some rsns unknown). we were also immersed in our project and by this time soumyadeep and nilanjan were making serious developments in our project.THEN there was this 3rd group in that room who were really special.I knew a couple of them earlier(HIMADRI and GOURAV).but I want to name some other members of that group,namely ASTIK,TANUSHREE,PRIYANJALI ,who really made our later part of training a really enjoyable stay.I thank u all for that.we are not of the serious type and like fun and enjoyement but we did not find any right ppl so far to enjoy ourselves with.the 2nd grp was hopeless in that respect.they were too professional but I doubt if it always helps.there must be room for emotions and feelings.room for enjoyment and room to be what u are.we are humans not robot.let me tell u about each of THEM now(THESE ARE COMPLETELY MY CONCLUSIONS AND NOT NECESSARILY THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH.FORGIVE ME ANYONE WHO THINKS I HAVE OFFENDED U).

ASTIK:-this boy is the topper of the CSE department of D.I.A.T.M college.well he also looked like a topper with those thick glasses and a matured look(kaku kaku bolle theek hobe I guess).but he has such a humorous side to him.he always responds very smartly and has a witty answer to everything.he along with HIMADRI took the load to complete their project to develop an anti-virus(can u believe it.i didn’t?????????????).he was once caught in the lens of gaurav’s camera on the wrong foot sharing a rather cozy moment with ARPITA(I wont write anything about her).but other than that he is clean.this boy supposedly ate 10 fish and 13 sweets in a feast in C.M.E.R.I which I missed out.

HIMADRI:-I know himadri since my school days.he is a very good boy.he seems an open book but he has many deeper secrets and many faces.lots of enthusiasm and a grtt programmer. HE is the main success behind their completion of project.but as the saying goes,”behind every successful man there is a woman”,so is the case with himu.so who is thet woman???????I have been forced to supress that name but i may come up with it anyday soon.

GOURAV:-this guy is one interesting character.he probably knew more of our project than he did about his own.actually his work ended in the first few days and he was there chatting with us and just being one spectator and mentally supporting his own team.very funny boy and a net and ORKUT addict.his gatalk caption reads 24hrs online and he urges anyone he sees to add him in ORKUT and make him his fan.(the rsn being he wants to reach the magical figure of 100).he floods his own scraps to increase it.he also managed to bunk one week and go to attend a marriage party to fill his apettite.

TANUSHREE:-well a very one of a kind gal.14 days was too short a period to know her.she is very moody.sharing joke and everything a moment to being angry over some matter and disappear the next.she also took interest in the project and the most wonderful thing that she did was to write the whole documentation part of their project and erase it BY MISTAKE.she has many DADA(bhaiyas) and she has a specifical liking for them.but whom is she linked to is a mystery……….nonetheless a nice gal with a little KAKIMA attitude.

PRIYANJALI:-she didn’t come often but she is someone who is a self acclaimed tomboy.full of life and very sweet.also a part of the team to develop the anti-virus(still cant believe it).not linked to anyone in the grpp but has somehow managed to tell everyone who her crush is(a little prank by GOURAV).i wd like to give her one advice.plzzz change to BROADBAND.dial-up sucks.

So these were the 5 buddies that I met during my training whom I will never forget and who made my time in C.M.E.R.I really a time to remember.i will never forget the pranks we played on each other,the long discussions about how hopeless we are with our projects.I will never forget the way we all pulled each others legs at every possible time.i will never forget the numerous times we went to have coffee just because we wanted to be away frm work.I will never forget the time when myself and gaurav discussed how can a person get paid for doing chatting and writing mails to her boy frnd the whole day.i will never forget anyone of U and I will never forget any single moment spent with u all in yhe SUMMER of 2007.we finished our project a day earlier than theirs and it was very sad that day thinking that this is the end.no more coming here next morning to see them all.no more meeting them.i don’t know what path our lives will take us but I will remember u all and try to maintain contact.hope u all will too.


EPILOUGE:-we ended our web page development and they liked it very much and said that the site will be uploaded within a week.we are keeping our fingers crossed and are happy to manage to do something worthwhile.
The 3rd group finally finished their anti-virus project(I will never believe it.how can they????).they have named it 9-lives and are planning to launch a trial version soon.


ONE WORD OF PRECAUTION:-during the development of their anti-virus,two of the institutes computers have crashed and the computer of HIMADRI is facing a serious problem.so think thrice before trying it.



Welll that’s the end of it and its 26th july now.the end of the holiday which started on a boring note,went through a roller coaster journey of fun and new found frnds and is ending on a nostalgic note.
