Infinite time, finite resources: How to spend the vacation.

Image
By
The vacation has started for most of us. And will start for many. I, myself, am having a tough time figuring out what to do. There is just too must leisure time, isn't there? And we all know: too much of anything is bad. Here is a list of suggestions of how to spend your time.

1.Hook yourself up with TV shows- This is, according to me, and I know many would agree, the best possible way to kill your time. Try to manage the complete seasons of TV shows. Okay, not ONLY complete series, collect ALL the seasons of the show. I can guarantee, once you get hooked, you will find time rocketing through. The TV shows that I find intriguing,enjoyable,lovable and ultimate time killers are:

*PSYCH(4 seasons)-Comedy and thriller
*Band of Brothers-War,Drama.
*The Pacific-War,Drama.
*Bones-Thriller.
*Two and a Half Men-Comedy
*Castle-Thriller
*Warehouse 13-Fantasy,Thriller.
*And of course, FRIENDS-comedy.

There are many more which are shrouded in my head. How will you get the shows? Well, I don't know.I am only giving the advices.The Pacific is telecasted in HBO(Sunday,1130 BD time).Castle and FRIENDS are telecasted in Star Worlds(Monday to Thursday,930 to 10 and 10 30 to 11 30 respectively.)

2. Write something- I know people are going to be calling names after reading this subtitle, but trust me, writing will bring some peace and will , undoubtedly, exhaust some time. Take your time to write your diaries or journals. Even better, open a blog. Then people like me can spend some time reading them too.

3.Outdoor Sports- Remove all shackles that bind you to the four walls and sprint out to Mother Nature! This will help you in many levels: burn all those useless fluffy fats in your body, intensify your sleep, boost up your stamina and strength, and of course, kill time which you really want!

4.Go to the library- This is enormously helpful when the load shedding starts and you are bored, as the power to the TV and your PC just got slashed. Go to the library, enjoy the air conditioner, and read something.It does not necessarily have to be a book.Just pick up the latest Reader's Digest or Rolling Stone issue, and delve into another world.If you want a name of a place,I go to the American Centre Library,in Banani

5.Gaming- Now this is my personal favorite. Get on online gaming in your nearest game zone and start shooting the hell out of everything.You can try the latest games in your PC or any gaming portal.I would recommend: Assassin's Creed 2, Prince of Persia:The Forgotten Sands, Dragon Age,FEAR 2, Bioshock, FiFa 2010, PES 2010.

6.To Do List- Before going to bed, try to make a to do list.This will help you to manage your time, give you HOPE that there ARE things to do, make you more sleepy before you go to bed, and kill some time while doing it.

I think you can spend a couple of months doing these stuffs.Enjoy the vacation. And if any one the seasons of the above mentioned TV series, please make me a creditor by giving them to me( of course I will return them!).

    I guess it falls under Go to Library Section but I figured out that not many people love reading books.I will give Agatha a try after I finish Hakan' Nesser's The Mind's Eye. If u can, try reading David Baldacci's Stone Cold! Its the second BEST Secret Service novel after The Bourne Series.

The Others

By
Just finished watching the fourth episode of season 4 and I noticed a couple of things. The way the episode portrayed the Others was extremely intriguing since the books do not divulge too much information about this icy mystique. In the episode, we first sense that the Others are about to come when we see the poured water freezing in front of Ghost. Whenever the Others appear, the temperature drops or they appear WHEN the temperatures drop. Research about them is scarce, as Samwell Tarly says in book five (small spoiler, sorry!). Whatever the case, they are correlated with a drop in temperatures. If you see water freezing instantly, you better get your dragon steel ready. We then see one of the Other taking the sacrificed baby on a horse to a mountain. This is where things get really interesting. The one riding the horse is the familiar Other. We have seen him before. He was the one leading the attack against the Night's Watch men on Fist of the First Men. But the second Othe...

Bermuda Triangle: The Devil's Lair

By
Many people argue, that it doesn't exist. And, you won't find it in any map.The U. S. Board of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle and does not maintain an official file on it. However, within this imaginary area, many real vessels and the people aboard them have seemingly disappeared without explanation. The Bermuda Triangle is located off the Southeastern coast of the United States in the Atlantic Ocean, with its apexes in the vicinities of Bermuda, Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. It covers roughly 500,000 square miles. The main mystery surrounding the Devils Lair is of unusual and unsolved disappearances o f many ships and planes.According to Llyod's of London reported 428 missing vessels throughout the world between 1955 and 1975.But, the report only contained huge vessels which were insured.Gian J. Quasar, author of "Into the Bermuda Triangle: Pursuing the Truth Behind the World's Greatest Mystery" , later found out 300 mis...

"Why are you mixing English with your native tongue?"

By
I was asked the aforementioned question while I was talking in Bengali (!) with my parents. I put down my phone, smiled and turned towards my friend and said to him: "Oh! Everyone in my country does it.We mix a couple of English words here and there with our language". With a quizzical expression, he said: "That's weird. Why don't you speak in fluent Bengali? Isn't that your mother tongue?" His questions stopped me on my track, because the answer shocked and shamed me. I realized that the reason we don't speak in straight Bengali is because we don't know how to. That we are too much used to speaking in English with everyone back in our country. That we focused so much on English that we forgot our own mother tongue. I didn't want to tell my friend that there are people, students of my age, who preferred English over Bengali, preferred to write essays in English than in Bengali. Heck! I know people who can't even count from 1 to 100 in ...
