My article gets published on Linux For You!! :)

The article, in brief, is about games on Linux. As the editor sums it up,

"• The Penguin at Play!

While gaming isn’t exactly the forte of the Linux operating system, there are scores of great games available for the platform that are sure to keep you absorbed for hours. "


Well, if you do read it, tell me how much inclined you felt to go check out a few games on Linux.

    Well, Sudipta, as you've clearly highlighted Linux does offer a plethora of gaming options!
    Being hooked to Mandrake, I kill time on kolf, GTali, Kpoker and KMines!
    I think Q3 and DOOM III are forces to reckon with for gamers in Linux esp. the ppl who enjoy FPS.

    Juggernaut, yes, ullu bana penguin. I am more at work these days than at play.

    Vivekanand, thanks!! :) Yes, Kmines is also good. Never played Q3 and Doom, though... somehow I like to kill the adversary after some deal of planning than going on a shooting spree.

    Parna, Gee! Thanks :)

    Well I do have to agree with Sudipta in this regard, as I don't think we take the effort to Jot down our ideas.

Maa khuh chihal a panjam hastam

The hit counter on my blog reached 20074 today. Why you may ask, is that news, and why hadn't I cheered myself up when it was at 20,000 for example?

It is strange, and surprising, how these numbers become a part of our identity. The social security number, the passport number, the id number in the college, or even your roll number somehow becomes an almost innate part of the day-to-day life. As soon as I see the same number somewhere else: maybe on a telephone, on a hitcounter, maybe somewhere else... a thousand memories are triggered. As my eyes struck the hitcounter showing 20074 right now, I was thrown back to memories of filling up exam answer sheets, hostel admission forms, library recall requests, and so much more! I believe that number was present on almost every official form which I filled in college: even when

Swami Vivekananda and the Indian Renaissance

The following is an article I sent to my mother based on which she presented at one of her conferences. Do read. =======================================  The common perception of Swami Vivekananda as the religious leader who preached Hinduism to the West and established the Ramakrishna Mission in India is a very limited definition of the impact he had on the collective psyche of the common Indian. Besides his direct impact in adding steam to the Indian Renaissance, a large part of his thoughts and writings also affected the other stalwarts of the movement. While fathoming the entirety of his impact on the Indian Renaissance would be impossible, we will briefly explore some aspects of his influence in the following pages. Raja Ram Mohan Roy is generally credited with ushering in the revolution. His numerous ventures that contradicted the prevailing religious opinion of right and wrong broke the stranglehold of the prevalent quasi-religion, the norms of society and its sole autocrati
