What is the world's oldest printed book? The question came from one of my friends casually. To be very honest I failed to answer.While reading today's Newspaper I suddenly came across that same question and fortunately got the answer. It says that the oldest printed book's date is May 11th 868.It was a Chinese translation of Vajracchedik Prajnaparamita Sutra from Diamond Sutra.It is consider as the world's oldest printed book. A monk who got it from the 'caves of thousand Buddhs' sold it to a British archaeologist in the year 1907.

Being born in Calcutta we are still nostalgic about trams. From our childhood days we have been using trams very comfortably for dropping us to our destinations. Whenever our driver was absent my sister preferred tram sevice to go to school. She studied at Calcutta Girls High School which was very near to Dr.Bidhan Chandra Roy's house. Dr.Roy was then the Chief Minister of Bengal.We brothers too liked this service whenever we faced a similar situation. Hence whenever we read about the non existence of tram in Kolkata we miss a heartbeat. However ñow we are happy to learn 'Trams being brought back in many cities.'

Well to come back to what I was saying, the GFC had always created a strange feeling within me.Its low and deep sound of chiming always seemed to wisper something strange into my ears!Both hands of the GFC sometimes resembled as two big eyes, following me in my every steps. Later in life it somehow scared as well as helped me in several ways. Whether it really happened or it was a kind of hallucination I still couldn't believe - but it did happen. I had an important business appointment at 10.30 am on a Monday morning.There is no denying that I was a bit tensed.I had my whole heart on this, since a lot of things were involved in that meeting.
