Yes. The Code Post is down. May she rest in peace. The name of the killer was some Unknown Chinese loser from Fujian, People's Republic of China. Also my hosting provider was an accomplice. Anyway, I will be putting it back up - in a better place. Till then, I am sorry but rest assured, I will be back. Soon. EDIT: My blog is back up - you can go check it out at thecodepost.org .  Of course, you can visit my old link as well, you will be gracefully redirected. :D Regards, Sarthak

This happened some time back. It was a pretty cloudy day. I was wearing my school uniform. I used to go in a Maruti Omni van to school along with 5 or 6 other of my friends. In any case, after school, we used to get in a line and holding each others' bags slung on our backs(nothing silly, naughty mind) we used to go to the parking slot, led by the driver who acted as the guide cum head of security and excort. So that day was special for some reason. It rained when we were coming to school in the morning, only lightly as far as I can remember. By the time we entered school, the rains went for a break. While returning to the van, it held its breath. While our van started off, it started raining very heavily. The windows were ordered to be closed. We did not have automatic window controls then, so breaking the rule now and then was easy. The driver was a good young guy, but his primary job was to drive us safely - so after a while he stopped scolding. We would open the windows open...

It's been a long time I talked to you. It's true I miss you, more at some times than others. I always wished we could be together, somewhere, for sometime, just being us. You being you, me me and all that. But I am aware of the reality, the harsh reality that imposes its will on all of us. Sometimes we are okay with it, sometimes we drink it down with a gulp of ethyl alcohol or sleeping pills. But the fact remains that when shit hits the ceiling, the person who I want to be with, other than my family is you. Shubhoratri...

The treasure hunt begins – He was giving me hints about who he was and I was replying completely wrong. After sometime the hint was “singing “.Yes he is a singer that reminded me a conversation between my friend & me pointing out at a guy who had really sung well last week when I was out of station which I ignored at that point of time. Ok.. There I get him!!! So he is “Nandan Kumar” whom I gave a non-existing movie name for dumb charades to save Chocolates which was prize for correct guess. There the conversation starts …There were days before I had noticed the same guy some evenings when I board bus who use to b odd 1 out. He is good looking and moreover we are from the same place. He had joined our company just a month before and he was   ...“Road Romeo” types. I was really happy to know somebody from the same place and the conversations went very easy from day 1. Days went on Normal with a “Good Morning” in the morning and “Tadas” in evening J . The conversations...

One as usual day in office after my evening chai with one of my friend –“Stephan”- returned back to my desk. By default checked my mails after 50 times almost in a day which made no difference but 51 st (Random count) time when I logged in my system I see a LYNC request (Office internal Messenger) by an employee named “Nandan Kumar” Popping in my screen. Before all this let me introduce Myself, I am “Raashi” carrying bubbly nature with a cute smile always but short tempered. I am a born dancer half of the reason me being a bit famous in my office campus. Unknown requests on LYNC were common for me but I use to check the Profile in our company directory and at the end of the day ignore the request. But in case of Nandan he was a lateral to the office and had been less time for him joining the company, his profile was not seen in the directory. I searched 4 times for that day, was fed up giving a try and left for the day. It’s me in our company bus who comes so early to reserve ...

Kolkata is famous as a culinary delight for food lovers the world over. Ok, if that's too much let's just say it's famous all over India. I am not saying it provides the best food, but it's great, cheap and unhygienic. So here are the top 10 restaurants that Hindus can try out while they are in the city. Hindus in Kolkata, being a minority, can find it difficult to find places that are both famous and yet conform to their spiritual practices. So keeping that in mind here's the list. I have kept out small joints and shops selling sweets simply because it's not recommended to fill your stomach with rosogollas alone - no matter how much you like them. Safety tip: Always ask beforehand if they have beef on sale. :) It is still recommended that you ask before you place an order if the place serves beef as demand may require the establishment to provide it. In that case please let us know and we will update it. Some of these restaurants will have multiple ...

Time flies away so fast. I mean, just so literally effing fast! I have always of the opinion that time would have its own definite speed of travel, so to say. Of course, the very statement - speed of time is itself a paradox! In any case in case you are unable to fathom what gibberish I am talking about - fear not. That is exactly my intention. To write a couple of paragraphs without a specific intention. Of course, this has no sense inherent in it as well. Oh, see the English! Intellectuals may have certain new terms to explain this phenomenon. Some call it post modern writing. To the lay man, this is non sense - naturally. And that's exactly what I feel too. In times when idiocy and beheadings are becoming common, such nonsensical writing is disgusting, wasteful yet - harmless! So think about it. Take just 5 minutes out of your special life, pause for 300 seconds. Take a couple of selfies less a day, post a post less on Facebook, browse a tag for a short while on Twitter...
