Loughborugh street fair

The town center in Loughborough appeared very different during last three days. Its the annual street fair which was taking place at the center. This street fair is quite unique in its nature and probably one of the largest in UK. It was quite amazing to find that the small town center can accommodate so many people and such huge rides.

I was amazed to read that Loughborough Royal Charter street fair was established in 1221, nearly 800 years back! also it was very surprising to me that a small town such as loughborough holds such a big event. nevertheless the crowed turnout will certainly help in realizing why it was so. I this early winter day you will feel warm, once you are inside those exciting and heart stoppable rides and hungry with all delicacies on the stove. Honestly speaking the

fair has something to offer from 8-80s. There are lots of rides, games and toys for the Kids, i saw many old couples holding each others hand enjoying the event.

Loughborough street fair has a rich histoy. This carnival marks the end of the travelling season in UK. The fair went through many ups and downs during world wars. There were efforts to move the fair out of the Loughbrough but it did not go out of the place.
The fair covers three streets at the town center including the town center. There are around 20 big rides. Colourful shops and wonderful food stalls. It was too late when i came to know about it, but i am certainly looking forward to more exploration next year.

Festive mood

This is how i was guarding my festive mood....


from this..............


My lab went through a major renovation after a gap of few years and i was really amazed to find the amount of junk we accumulated.

I know a photographer!

So I know a press photographer now! This picture is from a front page of a popular Bengali daily called “pratidin”. After the Election Commission ruling that political parties can not campaign by wall painting for the up coming assembly election on 17th April in west Bengal, the parties are getting innovative ideas this is one of them. One guy has shaved is head etching out the symbol for some party. The sign is sickle hammer and the star

Okay, I am putting it as my brother took it. He wasn’t a pro but I think he has become one since his work is appearing at the front pages of the news papers; well done bro, keep it up…

a new look! finally

Finally our institute paid attention towards our web page. A new IISc web page is up. I dont know whether i am late to notice it but just now i noticed it. The facade is good! Lots of infos which were hidden inside the old page are now one click away. I liked the limk for ejournals appearing in the front page. More or less its good. I will dig up some more stuffs soon, but did you notice something; in the top corner of the page some games pic appearing. In the cricket pic some lefty batsman is hitting the ball to somewhere, guess who can it be.......... :-D
