  1. Meeting Michael Fincke

    September 15, 2009 by Sunit Nandi

    So, last Monday, I met Michael Fincke. He had come to Guwahati for a seminar on his last space mission. About 100+ schools had come to attend the programme with over 1000+ students. Each school was allowed to ask one question to Michael Fincke and he could answer each and every question wonderfully. Also, our school too got a chance to have a photo session with him and I am expecting the photos soon.

    Life gives you a chance to fulfil your dreams. But it sometimes fulfils such chances that are beyond our dreams.

    I think this is what happened to me! Hehe!


  2. Hey, I am gonna meet Michael Fincke!

    September 6, 2009 by Sunit Nandi

    Hello everyone! I have a great news to tell you all. I am going to meet Michael Fincke, a NASA astronaut who spent more than a year in space. News is that he had married an Assamese. So he was visiting his wife’s place, which is in Guwahati city. Incidentally, he was labelled to be the State Guest of Assam and he was welcomed warmly. Other than spending his time here, he will also be holding several interactive sessions with different institutions across the state. Our school is one of those and I am one of those students selected to meet him in order to represent my school.

    Well, I am already getting excited and am looking forward meeting him. I think I will have a nice time and one-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

    Seeya soon! Will be telling you all how I had enjoyed there.


  3. Today is my birthday!

    May 6, 2009 by Sunit Nandi

    Hello everyone!

    I am back to write again here. Well, today was my birthday. Before I tell what happened to me today, I would like to say what I was doing the days before.

    I was busy with my day to day activities, tackling homework and preparing for the boards. On Saturday, I went for an eye checkup and found that my myopia had increased by -2 in both eyes. I asked the doc how I could get rid of it, she only replied that I can do so only when I turn 18. There is a long time…

    And today was a very good day for me. I had bought about 200 chocolate bars to distribute among my friends and teachers in the school. I distributed everything and was left with none. However, my classmates kept demanding for more and more! The other section was planning to give a me a gift (god knows what!). Also, my friends were giving me so much attention, that I had never got till this day. We were busily cracking jokes about various people right under the nose of the teacher, and forgot how the day flew by.

    Whatever it is, as I am writing this entry sitting at home. I do feel a little sad as it is a day when I have finished up 15 years of my life. We all do not live forever.

    Anyway, take care and enjoy yourself!

  5. Exams coming! Tensions increasing!

    February 15, 2009 by Sunit Nandi

    Hello everyone,

    My exams are nearing date, will be starting on 5th of March 2009. I am feeling intensely tensed and wondering how will I perform.

    Other than that, I have enjoyed Acheringa ’09 as Sonu Niigam gave a rocking live concert. I will post the videos after my exams.

    Also, I have faced a lot of problems. A virus damaged my Windows OS on my computer and am currently fixing it. Right now, I am posting from my dad’s computer.

    Also, the Nandi Family main website is undergoing upgrades and I hope to get it done as soon as my exams end.

    I have also installed PuppyLinux on my computer which I shall be using until Windows is fixed. After that I will be installing it in a separate partition. This Linux distribution is only 95 MB in size, yet comes with a ton of cool features.

    Now I have to leave for studies. Will write later. Cya!


  6. All out of order

    January 30, 2009 by Sunit Nandi

    Feeling nice to write again. However nothing is nice that happened during the last two week. First, my exams results were not so good. Second, I could not go to my school excursion. Third, my health was not so good. Fourth, the Nandi Family site was losing rankings so we are migarting at this moment to another Content Management system.

    However, I will try to enjoy my life as far as possible. Also, Alcheringa in IITG is also taking place. So, I will enjoy a lot.

    See ya soon….

    January 13, 2009 by Sunit Nandi

    My Unit Tests are now over and we have got a week long holiday. This is because of our Bohag Bihu holidays. Bihu is a traditional festival of the Assamese who celebrate it as three different festivals at different times of the year. It is often accompanied by songs and dances. Anyway, it is already 11 o’ clock night now, I have no time to spare, so I give you this link to read more about bihu.

    Happy Bihu to everyone!


  9. New year 2009 countdown

    December 30, 2008 by Sunit Nandi

    With only a few moments left for this year to end. I am looking back and reflecting how nice and wonderful moments occured in my life. With just a day more for this year, I can feel that New Year is not just an occassion for enjoyment and merry making but also a sad reminder about how time in our lives is passing away, each and every second at a time. We do not live forever. Thinking of this I put this countdown widget, to count each and every second that passes by until the new year.

    Some things to notify:
    • I have added a link to my friend, Lavanya’s blog. Do give it a visit.
    • This is probably my last post for 2008. See you again in 2009. My Unit Tests are near so I may not be able to devote much time to writing.

    See ya all later. And do comment!
