Theory of Relativity

Relativity is something that is so well associated with our lives. Little did Einstein know that what he invented long back, enriching the field of Physics would one day be used to compare Facebook display pictures of two girls. Creepy, isn’t it?

Well, today the world functions in a very simple principle. We will do whatever our peer group thinks is good. So if the beautiful girl in my group posts a picture with a pout face, one of her lesser good looking friend would comment something like this, “Aww...my baby, you look so adorable :*” And when that lesser good looking member of the group uploads a similar picture, there would be a return of compliment, which will read like, “My hot baby :*”

Now that’s relativity. Now for both the girls this is just a way of complimenting each other. One appreciating the beauty and thanking her for being with her, while the other one is acknowledging the fact that someone is looking up to her and is her follower. And since she thinks she is awesome and if someone follows her, then the follower has to be awesome hence complimenting back someone awesome is very awesome. (Ideal blonde case scenario).

Now one theory of Relativity says, two events, simultaneous for one observer, may not be simultaneous for another observer if the observers are in relative motion.


Now for me, I am an average Facebook user, probably single for quite some time and as I adore the beauty of someone by stalking her cover picture (Strictly according to John Keats principle, A thing of beauty is a joy forever) and come across the lesser good looking girl’s profile and in two windows I compare both the girls and read their complementing comments. I can draw a conclusion that one of them is definitely not pretty and making a fool out of herself. Hence, how I see both the girls is totally different than how they see each other. Postulate proved.

Wish I could 'FLIRT'

I was in class VII, when I first came across the word ‘flirting’. (This apparently proves my weakness in vocabulary). Anyways, it was my friend Jyotirmoy who was talking about him flirting with a girl. As usual, an innocent me, asked, “ এই flirting মানে কি? ” Which apparently meant, ‘What does flirting mean? What an apt description he gave, he said, it is an act of conveying someone that you love him/her verbally, though you hold no feelings for him/her by heart. Mind it, class VII we were, and we were already discussing how to fake love. That was good old 7 years back, in a phase of time, where at least love was not merely a matter of one night stand. Over the time, Jyotirmoy did excel in the art of flirting on screen, no wonder, he is yet to score a girl, but he has surely excelled. This is an art, an art probably all of the cool dude modern guys surely have good hands on. But what I am more concerned about is actually described in the last part of the last line of th

Life on the Wheels: Mr Ram Kumar

The title might suggest that the post is about some adventurous traveler, who roams the world in a four wheeler exploring thousands of kilometers. Indeed, he travels thousands of kilometers, probably 36000 km a month, yet he is not adventurous traveler, and probably we would never imagine our lives to be like his. Life on the Wheels Meet Mr. Ram Kumar , the coach attendant of the Dibrugarh Rajdhani Express . Mr. Kumar, with just 4 holidays a month, travels all the way from New Delhi to Dibrugarh via Guwahati serving passengers and back. Again the same day he leaves for Jammu with another fleet of passengers and the cycle goes on. Four holidays is just like nothing, a resident of Bihar, it takes him 2 days to reach home from Delhi and unlike the so called posh Rajdhani where he serves; he boards a general sleeper class compartment to get back. Yet, he wears a badge saying ‘Serving with a smile’ and severs to every new face which he meets in his journey without any compla

Love? Arranged? Naa, Semi-Arranged!!

After fighting the battles of Education and Job, most of the youths today ultimately go through a war in their homes regarding their take on Love Marriage or Arranged one. Though exceptions are always there, but generally our life is filled with various battles, the battle for Chocolate , the battle for Excellence in Studies , the Battle for Job and ultimately  the battle for marriage . Unlike the previous generations, where parents used to commit their close friends that 'our dosti will be converted to ristedari', parents these days are way cooler and acts according to the wish of their sons and daughters, though always in some corner of their mind they always long for Arranged Marriage, which seems quite obvious. But the real problem is with us. What are we suppose to choose? The most interesting fact of the present romancing generation is that, almost most of us are associated in multiple relationships. The magazine concept of Playboy, is quite a reality now with
