Upgradation of gadgets and degradation of values

Today when I sit down write something about improvement in technology thereby leading to upgradation of gadgets which includes smart phones I am already heading towards the edge of a sword..a slight mistake and you hack down yourself. If one wants to retreat, you have no option as you have to use whats app, you have to post pictures in instagram or facebook otherwise people might label you as 'backdated'. Even if you try hard, you are unable to go back to your traditional days when things were quite plain and simple. Certainly, teenagers using smartphones is not desirable but again the present society demands it from you and you just can't eschew it.In this way, are'nt we pushing our younger generation towards a doomed world where you see nothing but degradation of values? What I feel children are becoming most vulnerable members of society. They are loosing their innocence, loosing their habits of reading story books, creating anything on their own and ultimately ending upto either playing games in mobile or chatting with friends through whats app or facebook which is sheer wastage of time and energy- they hardly understand. Are we heading towards a hellish nightmare from which it will be impossible to save our children? Degradation of values has occured to a great extent as they are becoming mechanical.However, not only the teenagers are to be blamed, this menace is gripping each and every individual in the society..The institution of marriage has become a farce; who is to be trusted? neither of the partners in true sense of the term because you never know he/she might be continuing a relationship by communicating in whatsapp or facebook even after marriage because that person needs that space.I am ready to offer you a prize if you can point me put two people talking with each other without using or not even staring at their respective phones for once atleast. Even adults have been completely ensnared by the cobwebs of technology that he is not able to wriggle even to accomplish his tasks. Can't we rewind back to those days of having heart to heart conversations with friends, playing out in the lush green meadows or watching movies in VCR? Perhaps not..and this is the reason why we cannot get rid of the clutches of technology which is actually slow poisoning us. Technology has become ubiquitous these days and we can hardly survive without it. Ideas can only emerge in our mind and we cannot bring our plans to fruition; this is the difference. The present scenario is very dismal as I can fathom.May be a long walk to the traditional past in your dreams transport you away from the murky, mechanical world temporarily but again like Keats you have to jolt back into reality- the hardcore reality.

Koyeler Kache....

It's a bengali novel written by eminent writer Buddhadev Guha..Infact to tell it frankly,this book was recommended by my mother,and nobody else and somehow just to honour her I started reading the book.Well,in our daily life we do not think much about the tribes and the people of remote parts of our country,their living,their manners,culture and customs and so on.But as one thinks deeply,he/she can find that not only they do lead plain and simple lives but also they have to confront a lot of troubles and difficilties to earn a paisa....books provide us with a knowledge of this.The novel is mainly based upon the writer's experiences during a long period stay at palamou-hazaribagh forest ...the realities and what exactly we feel when we are in a certain particular situation have been vey well understood by the writer and hence reflected in the novel.The author is a novice in hunting and he gradually develops an expertise in the art and while living there he learns to view nature ...

The Ever Glowing Magic Lamp!..I must say...brilliantly witty..satirical..intelligentl y highlighting upon some v.v.v.imp issues of our society...through life ofcourse.....Kudos To Mr.Anik Dutta..BB had a certain color of it's own and AP has it's own too..which is making the Lamp all the more bright...and the color is mostly due to the amalgamtion of so many different characters with their own unique t raits..the characters are the representatives of some common urban Bengali prototypes..hilarious moments..specially,the dialogues..the fantasy tale is a layer upon the reality..and Mr.Dutta has wonderfully presented that...Perhaps he was the ventriloquist through the Genie..The First half was brilliantly engaging with a v.good pace...and then the beginning of a journey..which Mr.Anilava,actually the representative of middle class Bengali people was aspiring for..What I mostly liked about this movie was the characterisation part...when a man wishes to rise to the highe...

Here I am to aware you all about the LONGEST TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE in the 21st century that the world viewed on 22nd July,2009.It lasted a maximum of 6 minutes and 39 seconds.The NASA declared that TAREGNA in Bihar is the expected best place to view the eclipse.Totality of the eclipse was viewed from cities in India like Surat,Varanasi,Gaya,Patna,siliguri ,Guwahati and some other places in China and Nepal too.A hurry was noticed among the scientists,astronomers and researchers from all over the world who rushed from thier respective places to TAREGNA in Bihar as it was the expected best point to view the eclipse.They have also taken into account the effects of the eclipse and changes in behavioural pattern of micro organisms and animals.However,as an avid lover of rare celestial phenomenon I tried my luck to observe the same.Although the sky was covered with dark clouds,yet it gave a few momentary glimpses around 6.25........26 hours.Still,it was a great achievement I think.But it was va...
