Want to read real stuff

I Was worried that the Bengali Intellect has stopped producing gems ,

I was worried that the only attribute that made us ticking all along is dying. Well, nope, there are a few gems and jewels that are still born.
I found this extraordinary piece of blog ,

Please read his  views on Bengal, Mamata  Banerjee, and the Singur drama.

It all comes down to speculation. My mama who was a die hard Kolkatan, enjoying everything the state gives,and takes. He accepted till date whatever  he saw,

A youth full of unemployment, a middle age full of frustration and knows each day that he grows old that the Bengali drama is over

 

People can sing, Singh is King, Ek Punjaban, in their own class and own culture , may not be suave , but the best possible from their side, but no one dares say “The Bengali stands a chance”

For books

Guys  ,
By now you would have found hundreds of ways to get e books online  right. Bit torrents, e book depositories, Rapid share, and friends and communities.
So many ways, there are hard disks full of books standing there in all the computers out there, Every body has a mini computer library . Today I went to Crosswords in Brigade road. Spent all day there, trying to find out cartooning material. Got hold of some 2 B , 2HB and dark Apsaras ( extra dark pencils ). I also got hold of some of those triangular pencils, these might turn out goood for better grip.
 
But Crossword did not have anything for the painters ( the painting tools are pretty novice ) Though the Staedlter pencil series ( though a bit costly were good ) . The AC there made my head heavy ( there must be some amount of control on the humidity that people put while trying to make a centralized AC thingy. I have felt the difference pretty much in many of the goold old hotels, where you will not feel a head heaviness and dizziness that comes with the bad Air conditioning,
Well coming back to books. I did find some good books on mashups but since the price was 449 I did not buy it there. I relied on a friend of mine who did tell me about this gigapedia sites. That was a real help for me. I also got this O Reilly thingy on PhP in that site. That is a cool one.
But one thing for sure. There is nothing like a book to hold when reading about anything. ( I mean anything ) though a new class of e book readers are coming up , we the old school people will always linger around a book store isnt it

Adsense books

I know I have been putting too many irrelevant stuff in one blog but as of now with the time I have in hand with other work and job I am not able to manage multiple blogs so I figured out that the only way to do so will be to put whatever I am reading in one post,

Joel Comms books is an excellent resource on how to make money blogging. Though half of you might have figured out the amount of hard work that goes in when such a venture is thought of, Try searching for Jason Kotke on line, his blog donations helped him in quitting his job so that he could finally become a full time blogger,

Find more about Jasons book in http://www.adsense-secrets.com/


Locally , you will find in India Domain Maximus who became free lance after completing his MBA from IIM A .

So there are a lot of people out there doing it, So why not you?
