Actually this was the first morning of Shillong for us. We woke up at around 9 am, got ready and then went out n had breakfast, of course the menu was Indian . Then we went to the state bank of India for exchanging dollars against rupees. After that, we were looking for a taxi, and just then we found our friend, philosopher n guide…..Sonup Roy, A young local taxi driver, who was with us for the rest of the days. He a had cute red tata indico cab, with a very good sound system….hahah….man we enjoyed riding his cab.

Newayz, lets moce on, it was about 12.30 when we reached our first local tourist spot….the elephant falls…… 12 kms on the outskirts of the city the mountain stream descends through two successive falls set . A well paved footpath and a small wooden bridge connect to two smaller falls which areequally beautiful and captivating. These are the Wei Iaplam Falls and the Wir Phang Falls. We just loved the view of it.

————————Elephat Falls————————–

Next we went to the Shillong peak…… 1965 metres above sea level and 10 kms from the city, offers a panoramic view of entire Shillong, and is also the highest point in the State. This place was the most beautiful one, at least for me, ahhh….just cudnt manage enough scope for a second visit there…….

——————-Shillong Peak—————————

After that, there was Lady Hydri park…… stretching over a km is replete with roses and blossoms of exquisite hues and colors. Owes its existence to Lady Hydari, the wife of an erstwhile Governor of Assam. It has an excellent mini zoo cum deer park.

Next we moved on to Don Bosco church…..A mega sized and beautiful catholic church…..

Later, it was Ward’s Lake: A century old picturesque lake. Located in the heart of the city, popular for short garden walks and boating. The local people however prefer to call it Nan Polok (Polok’s Lake) after an executive engineer named Mr. Pollock. We did a lil boating there…….it was fun…heheheh…..

——————-Ward’s Lake———————

Then we went to Shillong Golf Course, which is considered to be the “Glen-eagle of the East” at the United States Golf Association Museum. It was set in a valley at an altitude of 5200 ft in 1898 as a 9 (nine)hole course and later converted into a 18 (eighteen) hole course in 1924 by Captain Jackson and C. K. Rhodes. We didn’t like it that much….but it was ok though……

Finally, It was BadaPani…. Developed upon the mighty reservoir of the Umiam Hydro Electric Project, at Umiam, 16 kilometres beforereaching Shillong. The campus consists of a beautiful Orchid Lake Resort, the Nehru Park. Besides it offers a wide choice of exciting water sports activities….we didn’t see all of it, but the reservoir alone was enough for us…..we looooooooooved that place….btw…..we also loved the view from the dam of the project……

1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7………wow! we visited 7 spots in a single day….hahhaha…..dat was fun…..we really enjoyed our time throughout the day…….it was about 6.30 when reached the hotel…..and then…..dinner….balcony party….29……..chit chating…..and ghuuuuuuuuuuuum…..

End of Day 2! was fun…….:D

The day was like..ummm….in Bangla, we call it ‘vapsha gumot gorom’. Me n my 4 friends Sakib, Jewel, Mustaq n Akhlak started for shillong, the hilly capital city of meghalaya state. We were late already and lil mishaps caused more delay, but finally we reached tamabil border…… after the imigration was over….. for the first time of my life i stepped into another country . I though it wud take a hell of a mess 2 complete the imigration, but was q8 easy….on both sides……..the actual problem we faced was the problem of transportation from dawki to shilong. Taxi drivers were not so helpful……we payed a lil higher then the usual rate……and sumhow managed to squeeze ourselves in a maruti suzuki 800.

How was the journey?

Awsome! The views were simply breathtaking……..the road goes all the way climbing to 6000 feet (approx.) and we cud feel the clouds in our hands…..god that felt so good……

It took us almost 4 hours to reach Shillong……without ne stoppage. The hotel we stayed in was Broadway, fikz……….guess wat….the manager was a sylheti guy……i made a call 2 dhaka….told popsi dat i reached safely……climbed the stairs…..entered the room……..bang!……day 1 is over.(i don wanna mention the balcony party and trip 2 hotel radhuni :p)

Watch out for exciting day 2!

I was doing ratio analysis in my fin254 midterm….nd my friend imran was continuously calling me, as i was already late. I hurried to finish it up.I went running to the front of sher plaza where my friends were waiting for me, after a lil bitta gailmondo…….we started for ashulia…….thats how it all started……

Me, nd my friends was on the car of out senior vai, the one n only raju vai(was our driver :p)….woh ajnabee woh ajnabee n we r shouting n dancing inside the car…man we were having loads of fun……it took a while to reach ashulia…..we got off the car…..did a lil photo session :p…….nd then we went on to hunt some foods…..

from left Nabid, Apu, Imran, Raju vai n Nakib

We found Fuchka, Tea and of course Single Sundae n Cornelli…heh heh………we were chitchatting after eating, and without a seconds notice, it started raining heavily. We rushed for the car, when we got inside the car, we noticed that Apu wasn’t with us. Apu, who was having his 2nd plate of fuchka……could not run cuz he was eating…..hi hi…….ekkbare kak veja hoye aasche ek2 pore…….

Then we did a lil more chitchat nd on the way back…….oh god…..the most enjoyable part…..the convo b2n raju vai n apu….hahahha…..”driver er beton kat”…..

We all reached my home………….did a lil ’shongeet shadhona’………then they left…….. bohot majah aaya……. btw raju vai……if ur reading this…..u owe me 60 tk……

Guess with whom i am talking……..?

orey shampan wala…tui amare korli diwana….fikz…

PC stands for personal computer………i would rather say polite company…….gives u company all the time :p

I do, and i really do love my PC, when i am in dhaka, i spend most of my times with it, and thats why i thouth i shud wr8 sumthin about my pc.

Well… It has 3 giga P4 HT processor, intel 915gav mb, with 1 gb ddr2 ram, nvidia geforce 6800 256 mb agp,80 gb sata hdd and a built in sound card, and yes….. 17″ samsung tft lcd monitor

lets add the peripherals: modem, micronet nic, avermedia tv card, asus dvd rom, sony dvd rw, 2:1 speakers ….i think thats all.

Its fast.It really is fast, to me at least. maybe not hardcore, but i do play lots of games, and till now its giving me satisfactory(most of the time:more then satisfactory) performance, and just beacuse of that, i go lil freaky when it comes to agp card, nvidia 6800 agp wid 256mb onboard ram is delivering me the performance i want and need

and ofcourse, photoshop cs2, i do play with this software also, and guess what, when you are working with a 96″*48″ canvas with 100+ layers on it, it takes some performance to get the job done….nd my pc delivers that performance…..

Im not a big freak abour sound……my lil 2:1 spekers n built in sound card is good enough for me…….

I love my mouse and keyboard……..(so user friendly) :p and my printer lexmark z517…….thanks buddy….ur makin my life easier

amar khompitar oilo amar ekhebare jani dusto..hahahaha…..boutta lekhsi r nai……badey lekha lekhi khormu….

Last n8 was another awful n8, i know very clearly what i have to do, but sumhow, just q8 how m not able to do that n god its so depressing…..

I cudnt sleep, so i started working on this site……last n8 i completed(partially) the photos and my world section…….just a few moments ago i completed about me section…….well….this site is almost done………glitz n glamour will be added l8r on :p…………….

i have a class within an hour, i hate these makeups……koto aram kore ghumaitam……….

khotota lekhiar….but ekh second or lagio amar mata taki horer na………..

kothai aalor uthshobe shopner protibimbo vangey….
eka eka ami thaki daraye…
sritir jhoro batashe dujonar
shorir meshate………

Finally i am able to get my website(or should i call it a blog?) up and running.Thanks to NSUers and Saumen vai (Sword^Fish) for helping me. As its still under construction, Pls dont expect much out of it. I am working on it and it will be completed in the next few days.
Thats all from me now(till i get back wid more stuffs)
Thanks…..

Hmmm…..this will be a shortcut review……nd i cudnt take ne snap of my phone as i dont have another camera……

lets get to the point…..

The set(monoblock form factor) looks just perfect….well built…just a better camera slide cover wud make it more perfect,its ok though.color of my one is black,looks a bit shiny shiny…onle thing i disliked bout the set is its keypad…..sumhow the keys are not worth the nokia standard,sumtimes it gets hard to press the right key,but u will get used to it after a while.in a summary…..the body of the set is just perfect.

i love the screen of the set.havnt seen ne set with a better screen the this one till now.i just really luv it…..nd i luv it….nd i luv it…

now comes the software part..Symbian OS….its really fast compared to other nseries phones….expect n91….i havnt noticed ne problem yet with da OS,nd i like it.

the best thing of the phone is not its music features,but its camera….it has a 3.2 mp autofocus cam(carl zeiss Tessar 2.8/5.6),nd i just luv to take pics wid it.it has various modes,n u can take good pics with the help of this phone(i am assuming that ur not expecting a canon ixus or Sony cybershot snap).nd with the help of the review button u can instantyly go the the last captured image or movie,comes in handy in sum situations.15fps movie capturing is possible,nd its loveable

music editon……..it has a smart music player….supports mp3 aac….nd more importantly wma…very good upgrade by nokia…..supports features such as stereo widening,loudness,balance,visualization….bla bla bla……AND……two speakers……yes,the phone really has 2 speakers, one at the top another at the bottom…..u can get stunning and loud sound out of these 2 speakers…

u can use the phone as a storage device(u just have to carry the data cable wid u) ,supports hot swapable mini SD(my one has 1gb card, but sales package contains 2gb),stereo headphones nd many other things

the talktime n standby time is pretty good…if u dont talk 2 much u can easily pass more then 2 days without recharging……

may be this is the first time i have composed a review of sumthin…..dunno if itll help u or not……

if u have ne query about the set…feel free to ask……

nd my personal opinion…..after the 6630,this is the best nokia set ive used

Thank u
