The Diary of Dhaka's Day-Dreamer

Go upside down

What's the best place for sleeping? Specially, after sleeping for 10 hours on the previous day? I have some peculiar juniors who somehow are very fond of me. Maybe I'm also very peculiar myself. But, I won't argue with them who says I look peculiar because of so many peculiarities around me. ;-) Anyway, back to the story... I have a junior whom I have named Rishi. One of my friends took it a step further and named him, Riko (short for Rishi Koel). The word Rishi refers to the spiritual leaders engaged in deep meditation in the caves of Himalyas. But this guy is not any better in spirit than me. The reason behind getting this name is he deliberatly tries not to talk. I mean, he doesn't talk with anybody unless it is extreme emergency situation. And he even tries to avoid this also. If you ask him about this, he'll say that he doesn't like to talk. But we know (after knowing him long enough) that he likes to talk very much. But deliberately avoids it, jus...

'Kids, kids, kids...' The angels shaped like human, aren't they? Have you ever tried to understand them? What is going on inside their minds, how they act or react on certain situation. I have a school named 'Banani Biddya-Niketon' in front of my university. In my breaks, I watch them. I find it very amusing. And now I'm planning to start a Day-Care Center after I've graduated. Somehow, the kids, always treat me as one of their own. Yes, they know that I'm older than them but they always behave like I'm their friend. So, everything runs fine with them. That's why, I like kids. I'm a good listener. And the kids always have a tendency to discuss their personal matters and problems with me. But as a friend. There not looking for advise. But, as I'm a little older than them, if I sometime comment on something, they apprichate it. Each person has a philosophic mind inside. And in a society like mine, they always try to prove themselves as phil...

'last but not least'. I don't know the source of the saying. But it's really old. And it has been serving the human beings with equal usefulness as from its start. Like now. I am one of the people, who's friends consider him a good palmist. Though, even I don't belive in palmistry. But I do find it amusing. In a sense, to be able to play with people's minds. It's like looking inside their minds and picking their thoughts. It's more like psychology to me. I do use some lines of their hands to guide me at first. But then, eventually, I get into the mind game. I've explained it or rather tried to explain it to my friends time to time. But then they ask me to do the trick anyway. And this time, knowing the trick, they try to get a person I've never met before and tries to prove my predictions wrong. It's not that, they fail every-time, but 8 out of 10 of their attempts fail. No matter how unknown the person is, I somehow manage to get so...

What do you think, if we had infrared sensing capabilities, we could see better? Or we could achieve further advancement in the development of humanity? Well I don't know, maybe we could, or maybe we couldn't. But surely it'd give us the power to see in the dark. I am sure, several times in your life; you've wanted to be able to peek in the dark. Let's think about my own experience. I was at my university area, engaged in lively chat with my friends. It was almost dark. One of my friends had his girlfriend with him. At some moments, she became furious on him and was giving him a 'If looks could burn you into ash' type look. I know her very well and believe me; she looks like something to remember for a very long time. But I also knew that, it won't last for a minute. So, I decided to take a picture of her. But no matter how hard I tried (hiding the camera from her) I could not see her through the camera to take a picture. Just because it was dark. After ...

Do you know what VHDL is? It stands for 'VHSIC HDL'. Which stands for ‘Very High-speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language’. As the name says, this is used to design and describe digital circuits (very complex) in a easy way. Our university's engineering curriculum has an elective course named - 'VHDL Modeling & Logic Synthesis'. Well it's considered as one of the toughest courses. All the students hesitates when taking this course. But I can assure you that there is a teacher who makes the course a piece of cake. But you know, there is no guarantee that you'd have him on your course. What should you do then. No problem. All you have to do is to go to road No. 21, Bloc-B, Banani, in front of house No. 76, 78 (which is another university.). Then you should find a little guy. The best way to recognize him is to start yelling - 'Hamba Hamba' and you'd hear a loud laughter. The laughing person is him. You'll find him with a cup o...

Ever thought about the people behind the marketing concepts? Consider about a simple logo. Ever thought how a designing is done? I know that, those who do this type of job are great minds. And a simple sign-board kept me wondering about 2 hours to get the idea. You can see a portion of it. It contains a logo of a university. Well as you can see, this is a logo of an educational institution. A university, as it says. As the slogan says, 'A carrier minded university'. The name is given in the logo- 'The University of South Asia'. Have you thought about the factors which had to be considered on designing its logo? I guess no. Well let me put some light in your thoughts. The easiest way of designing a logo is to take the initial letters of the words forming the name (i.e.- get the Acronym). Like BBC for British Broadcasting Company. Now if we take the initial letters of this university then it becomes USA. Well, it can't be taken because though it's not copyrighted ...
