EXPERIMENTERÉ

Sarcastic digs on opposition parties, isn't new, neither are posters with special messages. A viral song, Khela Hobe by a former YouTuber and an engineer by profession Debangshu scripted the song overnight in the North Bengal (as told to TV guys) and the song raged, forcing opposition parties to create spin versions, to catchup on the trend (failed sic).  #KhelaHobey has taken, Bengal if not India by storm? With less than 2 weeks before the final showdown, this IPL - Indian Political League  (Bengal chapter) 2021, is going to be the most creative political campaign, EVER.  Khela Hobe campaign anthem of the TMC Bengal ka time aayega. need to wait, and watch.

Instead,  I predict MSD Is ready for a blockbuster career in acting. Could be cinema, OTTs, like Netflix, Amazon or neo real, shows on Discovery , even Star TV. Why, do I feel so? Because,  rarity,  is a quality, suits, and fits, the captain of Chennai, the THALAVI OR THALA They followed, the rules of engagement . Bring,  the top guy. Dhoni. Get him, on screen, and create a viral content. Bingo. Make him bald (even Ranbir Kapoor), went through one recently. Oh, yes, do a prebuzz, yeah? Like a 1 hour to go or 3 hour to go, some shit like that. Twitter erupted, today guessing Dhoni turning a real life monk? Sadly, no, thats cleared, his Avatar as an Army officer,  negates that idea of brand Dhoni being diluted. At JU, a friend Rosh,  used to wear a sweat shirt, with a slogan of her Alma mater Ferguson College, Poona. It read, "down to earth, but above you all".  That's, MAHI. He is like brother. I am like h...

This Sunday balmy Kolkata evening, one sight at railway crossing sprang my attention. Partly surprised,  yet not (India hai, chaltah hai syndrome) surprised. This young guy, trying to fix something (probably an electric line), crisscrossing the local suburban trains, near Dumdum Cantonment. Was it risky? (Video of his duty coming soon). A quick Google, took me to a integration landing page. In their blog, Ms. Ashima Obhan and Ms. Nishtha Jaisingh,  collectively pen down the 'Occupational Safety, health and working condition code', 2020, plus two other codes, (yet to be notified). "The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 (“OSH Code“) received the President’s assent on September 28, 2020 along with two other codes, all of which are yet to be notified by the Government. The OSH Code has subsumed several key pieces of legislation on the working conditions of labour and consolidated it into one comprehensive act, including, inter alia, the ...

Am I the only one, who is experiencing incredible Androidian phone 📱performances, after the patch One UI 3.1 was updated recently in 2021? So, Whats so different about it?  Am no expert in mobile tech, because I myself refused to realize the difference between an Android and a non Android phone and deliberately used Nokia phone. I stuck to it (since the Nokia 3310 in year 2001) like a jilted lover,  refusing to let it go, kept on doing Nokia,  year after year, one and a half decade, precisely. Finally, in my overseas stint, I gave way to Android, and took up a Motorola.  Only to loose it one day, at the Victoria Parade,  Suva area in Fiji,  likely in Traps. Samsung S10e happened the next week, and I am enjoying it. That's my mobile story in short.  The One UI update Am using  content from official samsung sites, so that you get the actual.  The new UI 3.1 brings select, new camera capabilities for capturing and editin...

While surfing my phone, saw a little change. Pondered,  Did Amazon change its logo recently in five years? They say, it resembles German dictator Adolf Hitler's famous moushtache. Its called, the toothbrush moustache. According to social media reports, following a backlash, Amazon was forced to alter its new logo icon design.  It looked, similar to Amazon's signature curved arrow, but this time it was staged over a brown background. The brown color represents the packaging, AMZN uses, for delivery. Recently, a Bombay based NGO, forced Myntra to change its logo, because according to a complaint it looked like a naked woman. 

For the first time, the name had a face. Saw the flower Palash 🌼 for the first time in life. Growing up in Dehra Dun, and then working in Northern part of India, Delhi, one doesn't get to see this magical tree.  I asked the Toto driver, where is this Palash, he said right here sir. The scientific name being bastard teak and or Butea frondosa.  Pictures below  They call it the sacred tree. Its my first visit to Purulia as well,  thanks to the right advice by A. Am the only person here, feels royal.  The vividly orange-red flowers, till date i only Google, hoping to see it one day. Here i am.  The tree loses its leaves when the flowers are in full bloom. Only 2 months (February and March) you can witness the flower Palash, an abundance of orange and scarlet flowers, appropriately  "Flame of the Forest". The solitary seed, has its own value.  Checked a website citing the uses of this t...
