Protected: Birthday Party at KU Classroom

It's not everyday you turn 21 !

masnun — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 18:00:05 +0000

Yeah, finally it comes — I am a man of 21 at last… Wishing another happy birthday to myself… I regret approaching one more year to my death as well…

I can’t express how I feel today. Certainly elated to some extent. But joy is not the total scene today. I come to think about the last year. It was unnaturally eventful in my whole lifetime. Earlier, I moved to Dhaka for attending Engineering coaching at Omeca. I had to leave behind the usual life I was used to here in Khulna. It was a pain leaving my parents and younger brother. And the worst thing was I couldn’t persuade my parents to take my PC with me. I went on to Dhaka. I used to live in Mirpur 10, in Senpara.

I was having peaceful life. I used to ride Volvo to get to Farmgate and then walk to Omeca’s 5th floor. I met Palash there. He was then a moderator at http://jotil21.net , my little mobile comunity site. We had contact online but never met face to face. But now I saw him in real. It was great to have him by side. I also met new pals there. First Laxman and then Sunny was very close to me.

Life was passing by. Soon after, came my HSC result. Got 4.80 spoiling my reputation as a brilliant student. I was studying for engineering and I had GP of 18 in English, Physics, Chemistry and Math. I was a bit frustrated. I was being scolded every now and then by my dad. Life became hell for me. I still had hope for BUET since the previous year, BUET took score of 18 in that 4 subjects. I was now studying harder than ever given that I knew it was my fault I did bad in the HSC. It was my negligence that has made me pay for it. Time grew close and soon I had the sad news — BUET chose 18.5 this year and my hope for BUET was lost. Following the same track, I couldn’t appear at admission tests for KUET, RUET or even CUET.

I was hopeless. The pressure was growing on me. My dad was going insane. I applied for admission in DU, SUST, PUST and of course KU. I got chance in DU but the I failed to get the level of score in math which was required for DU CSE. So SUST and others were my last hopes.

These days, I was going through loads of pain. In the end, I got chance in SUST. I got CSE. I was much relieved. But another accident struck me. I got potassium deficiency and suddenly I lost control on my muscles. I could not move or do anything.

I was going to admit myself into SUST when it all happened. I was taken to Islami Bank Hospital immediately and I was saved. It was a bit odd. I remained alive occurring some sort of medical miracle. I had 1 mol/ml potassium less in my blood serum than the required level. My heart was supposed to have been stopped by then. But it was alright at last and I managed to get admitted into SUST as well. I was carried to Sylhet on a rent a car accompanied by around 7 or 8 of my relatives mostly uncles.

I was glad I was alive. My dad though insisted on my going to SUST, I could sense his restlessness inside. So I decided to stay at KU. I sat for admission in all the schools except Sociology and economics. And I got chances in all of them as well. I chose BBA without hesitation.

Life was passing by and I had a very nice time with my new mates. Though my old friends segregated into different places, I miss them all the same. I am happy that I could find some really cool friends at KU. They have been always by my side. I have had all sorts of support and affection from them.

It’s my friends who are arranging a party at KU tomorrow… It’s Ramadan, I know but we can share some fun… have some chat and enjoy some real moments out there… what’s the need for a feast ?

Well, it’s not everyday a man turns 21, I am glad that my being 21 has brought some fun for my friends as well…

Love you friends… !!

Bure Bure: A song that sings my story

masnun — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 14:17:32 +0000

The song “bure bure” or “boro boro” is from the Hindi movie “Bluffmaster” released back in 2005. It was sung by Arash and contains Persian words which stimulate me a lot. Recently, I downloaded this song and collected it’s lyrics. I have gathered the meanings of the persian words as well. Here’s a post dedicated to this song that echoes my heart very often. Those who are very close to me and have seen my life from a short distance would agree that this song is very much perfect for me.

Full Lyrics:

Roozi bood aasheqat boodam
Az daste to kheyli raazi boodam
Ammaa to ba’d sheytooni kardi
Nazdike man nayaa to
(boro, boro, delam toraa, toraa namikhaahad
digar, digar, namikhaaham bebinamat) – 2
(bure bure ham ham ham shaitaan zara zara bachna re hamse
bure bure ham ham ham shaitaan zara zara thagna re hamse) – 2

Roozi bood aasheqat boodam
Az daste to kheyli raazi boodam
Ammaa to ba’d sheytooni kardi
Dele man toraa digar namikhaahad
Roozi bood aasheqat boodam
Az daste to kheyli raazi boodam
Ammaa to ba’d sheytooni kardi
Nazdike man nayaa to
(bure bure ham ham ham shaitaan zara zara bachna re hamse
bure bure ham ham ham shaitaan zara zara thagna re hamse) – 2

(boro, boro, delam toraa, toraa namikhaahad
digar, digar, namikhaaham bebinamat) – 3

Meaning:
The non hindi words are Persian. Here’s the line by line translation.

Roozi bood aasheqat boodam: There were times that I loved you

Az daste to kheyli raazi boodam: I was very pleased/happy with you.

Ammaa to ba’d sheytooni kardi: But then you betrayed.

Nazdike man nayaa to: Don’t thou come near me .

Boro, boro, delam toraa, toraa namikhaahad: Go, go, My heart doesn’t want you .

Digar, digar, namikhaaham bebinamat: I don’t want to see you any more, any more.

Dele man toraa digar namikhaahad: My heart dosn’t want you any more.

Roje bo ashkat bodha: There was a day I loved you.

Ajdas dedo khyali rozi boda: I was very pleased with you.

Boro boro dilem thoro thoro neme khos: Go, go, My heart doesn’t want you .

Dheege dheege nime khaume bina mai:I don’t want to see you any more, any more.

Python CLI App to update friendfeed: My way

masnun — Sun, 03 May 2009 15:42:45 +0000

I wrote a python CLI program to use the mobile friendfeed publisher at http://masnun.com/ff/.

It just posts the credentials to the mobile page, then the mobile page makes the update to friendfeed.

Social Networking: My way

masnun — Fri, 01 May 2009 12:06:20 +0000

I use FriendFeed to bring all my social updates to one place. I send updates to friendfeed using their IM functionality. I simply send an Instant Message from inside my Gmail Mailbox to update my status. FriendFeed then updates my twitter page. I have added the twitter app on facebook and allowed twitter to relay my updates as facebook updates as well. Things have now become very easy for me.

Whenever I make a new post to my blog, FriendFeed reads the feed and sends updates to twitter with the link. Twitter then disseminates the URL to my facebook account as well.

Social networking has never been easier !! I am very glad to be able to update my status from oneplace. Thanks to the creative minds behind such services…

Good Bye WordPress.com :(

masnun — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 12:11:19 +0000

I have been with WordPress.com for a long time. My blog got popularity and it helped me build up many important contacts.

Now I am using self hosted wordpress and no longer need the wordpress.com one. So I deleted both my blogspot and wordpress.com blogs. I won’t miss the blogspot one. But I do miss wordpress.com

Good bye, WordPress.com
Wishing you great success in the days ahead !

My First Class at KU

masnun — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 12:55:13 +0000

I was supposed to reach KU within 9.30 but I reached at 9.15. I knew there would be course registration alone but ended up having “warm up” classes. Such a pleasant surprise.

It’s 29^th March, 2009. As the official letter mentioned, I started for Khulna University well before time. I reached the campus at around 9.15 and headed straight way to the BA discipline in the 1^st Academic Building. There was a little crowd there, chatting and roaming around aimlessly or better said, without knowing what to do. I soon joined them asking which of my classmates have already arrived. It was then, a young guy guided us into the same room we gathered into the day we got admitted. I found out quickly that this “student looking” guy was no less than a lecturer at BA discipline. I have heard rumors about KU BBA teachers being unfriendly, harsh and strictly conservative. The openness in the approach of this “Enamul Haque” surely made me believe that those rumors were in fact rumors. He made a nice introductory movement helping people know each other and breaking the ice. We were soon having fun in the class as students kept giving out their names and home districts. Soon after he has finished, we were introduced to another teacher who gave us an overview of what we needed to do if I wanted to register myself for the BBA course.

When the class was over, we spread out following the instructions given earlier. It was a long tiring day and I, along with the other freshers had to stand in ques, stand in the sun and walk long distances time to time under the typically hot summer sun. But what really marks the day special is that I attended the first class in my university life, no matter whether there was an academic air or not, it is special and it will remain forever?.

PS: I was supposed to post the entry yesterday but I felt so tired and sleepy that I went to sleep halfway through it, leaving behind the incomplete and unpublished post. I completed it today, 30^th March and looking forward to publishing it with my another post about the orientation ceremony taking place today morning.

My University Life Starts Tomorrow

masnun — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 04:02:50 +0000

Finally, I have prepared myself for the studies of Business Administration, leaving behind Computer Science. Yeah, it’s more than true that I have never loved anything/anyone more than I loved my programming environment. I have been a tech freak for a long time. I have adored programming more than anything. I remember I wanted to go for BBA before I came in touch with a guy from InfoRev. He made me believe that CSE would have been better for me. My parents and many others started to believe that I would make a better Computer Scientist than a good Business Administrator. But, may be The Almighty had a different plan for me.

Time passed and here I am, a student of BBA in Khulna University. I have completed the admission procedure already. It’s the course registration tomorrow. On 30^th March, is the Orientation class. I think my classes would start the following day, 31^st March.

I would request every reader of this blog to pray for me and wish me luck.
