"Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake"
- Rabindra Nath Tagore
I feel proud to be born in the country as described by Nobel prize winner ,poet Rabindranath Tagore . Country of different cultures,languages,religions,geographical regions,foods ,yes, I am talking about India. I am from West Bengal , eastern part of India . To talk about major attractions ,it is the place of Royal Bengal Tiger , river The Ganges, The second highest railway in the world in Darjeeling. Finally to conclude with it is the place of Mother Tereca and Rabindranath Tagore.
I spent almost 19 years of my life in a small town called Berahmpore in Mushidabad District . Battle of Plassy , 1857 happened not very far from house. So you can imagine it is a historical place. It has got a calm environment with a touch of modern life. I studied my high school there , then I went to do my 10+2 in Ramkrishna mission in Belur Math in 1998 . In 1990 I went back to my hometown again to get a bachelor degree in Mathematics. After that getting that I went to IIT Kharagpore to do my masters. I got bored with study and joined IT industry. I started my carrier with Tata Consultancy Services in 1996.
In 1997 I came to London and that is my first overseas experience. It was obviously a different world ! In 1998 I went to Melbourne , Australia and saw another part of the world. I liked the place and decided to live there for a while. I was there for about 2.5 years and have worked for no of companies like GE , IBM ,Coles Myre. I feel Aussies are friendly ,easy going people . I have liked Australia and might go back there in future.
I was getting bored in one place and wanted to go somewhere else . I got a job in Edinburgh, Scotland and moved from Surthern Hemisphere to Northern Hemisphere . Edinburgh is like one of traditional Europian places . I am enjoying the chilli cold weather at this moment.
As you can see from above I like travelling . I had a wish to visit all the major places of Europe. I am a die hard fan of cricket and I don't believe in match fixing (!!) . I like to play badminton ,table tennis . I like to watch movies ( any sort of movies like commedy , tragedy, fiction,action .....). But reading story book is a difinitely no......no.
MY FAMILY
We are just four members in our family. My Dad has chosen to go for pharmacy business. My younger brother is in first year of BE . My mom has expired in 1997. My grandmother is living with us. But we are closely related with my uncle and aunts. I am so fortunate that most of them live very close to us . So we are truly tied by a string . If you pull one end other end automatically comes out.
As I have been to many countries I have got a chance to taste food for different countries like Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Malayasin, Italian, Greece, Mexican, Brazilian,Nepalies. But I like Indian resturants most as I don't get that hot and spicy food elsewhere. Some of my favourite dishes are Chicken Dopiyaja, Chicken Biriyani, Mutton Shai Korma, Chicken Korma, Tandori Chicken.
