I had literally forgotten the days when a full 24 hours of my life was spent without a power shortage. Until now that is, heh heh.. For the last 2-3 days we've had no load-shedding. So what turned the so called viciously biased power stations of old Dhaka to become so philanthropic all of a sudden? I'll tell you what, its plain old "Bash in the backside".

The small-factory owners and big-merchandise salesmen of Chawk bazar and Lalbagh area were getting quite pissed off from all the load sheddings being caused specifically in this somewhat underdeveloped/ageing area of Dhaka. They were going through a lot of profit-losses and due to the recent (WTF is recent, its eternal) price hike of everyday goods, the psychological pressure was building up. Now, you tell me..how long can a person hold his bladder pressure without reaching the critical value? Well thats what happened two days ago. The people got furious like never before, took to the streets with whatever they had lying close to their hands (i.e:shab-e-barat er shukna borfi, phuler jharu, telakranto bash ebong random da-kasti) and (almost) beat the shit out of the power-brokers (I like this word..it almost make them sound like share-brokers) and their offices. Since then the power supply to this "otherwise" the most "opaque" place on earth has almost been a straight line pointing to the origin with the equation y=mx.

Now, a little bit of my story. My term final exam in buet have started...and the first one was ME-161 AKA "Introduction to Mechanical Engineering". While I was dreaming how to make myself proud one day by orchestrating the design of a Hybrid Mini VW cooper (this is so damn sexy man), I was force-fed the principle of an ageing mechanical constriction...which sometimes is also called "Boiler" (I hate boilers). Who ever uses boilers these days (I know there are many, but wait lemme gain my gravity on this post), maybe north Korea..but thats it. Also take a look at this baby:



Now, don't say "Wtf is that mama, man?" quite yet. First tell me, how does the word "Psychrometrics." sound? Pretty cool eh...?? Well try solving math problems with one of these babies.. then you will learn. Its because of this chart that rich dudes over in U.S and U.K have controlled thermal atmosphere in their offices/houses and us, 3-rd world centipedes have to spend a total of 3956 gallon of sweat in their average 63-65 years of lifetime for bread and butter (what is that?)

Conclusion: The exam wasn't bad..Infact its was more than what I expected. Better hope for the best.

Also, real life anime rendering in games has been achieved...this is so freaking cool. Too bad, I'll probably never be able to own a next-gen gaming console (or a core duo processor with a better graphics card)
