Gangs of Wasseypur. It’s a 5-hour movie, split into two parts. But really, it’s just one epic story. I’ve watched it countless number of times. While in college, me and my mates would get high and watch this movie. I’ve probably watched it with most of my friends at least once.

Two other movies that come close are Pulp Fiction and Bhooter Bhobishyot.

Others have mentioned most of my favorite tools. One thing I’d like to add is SageMath. It’s a mathematical software that’s comparable/better than commercial offerings like Mathematica and MatLab. I’ve rarely seen anyone in the academia using anything else these days. If someone does use something else, it’s just because they’re more used to it. SageMath is by far the best tool for most things math.

Also, while typing about Sage, I was reminded of how great of a tool LaTeX is. If you want to write anything that’ll be more than a single page, LaTeX is probably the best way to do it.

Not even 2-3. They sound like they haven’t used Linux in the last decade.

Linux, of course. But another one that I use all the time, and love to death, is SageMath. It’s the perfect blend of mathematics and programming for me.

Not really a quote, but a poem that I read in school. It’s called মৃত্যুঞ্জয় (The Death-defier). A rough translation is available here.

A couple of lines have stuck with me ever since.

''যখন উদ্যত ছিল তোমার অশনি

তোমারে আমার চেয়ে বড়ো বলে নিয়েছিনু গণি

তোমার আঘাত-সাথে নেমে এলে তুমি

যেথা মোর আপনার ভূমি।‘’

It translates roughly to

“When your thunder was ready to strike, I considered you mightier than me. But with your blows you came down. Here, with me, where I stand.”

It has taught me not to fear hardships, since nothing is ultimate. Everything looks scary from afar. But if we have the grit and determination to face it, all will crumble in front of our might. Even death has nothing on us, since out deeds and achievements will live on. This poem has given me inspiration in dark times. It has reminded me that all hope is not lost, no matter how grim everything might seem.

It’s over the counter here, so I don’t NEED to see a doctor. But my doctor is a friend, so doesn’t hurt to consult for free.

LIftoff is fine, but I like Thunder better.

Jamaican patties look like a good option.

I’m a little bit of a snob when it comes to Indian food. I can’t stand any of the instant stuff, especially the ones available in US. I guess it’s like having pizza in US for someone from Italy lol.

That sounds great. Someone else suggested Lactaid somewhere up in the comments.

I can have a bit of milk. But I have it with coffee, and any more than that gives me gas. I’ll talk to my doctor about lactase pills, thank you for letting me know.

Looks good.

What kind? I tried soy milk and didn’t like it.

I do like poha every once in a while. But the instant stuff isn’t for me.

Egg on toast sounds good.

Omelette sandwich sounds good.

Haha lol. Thanks for the suggestion.

Just by itself? I do drink coffee. I was hoping for something a bit more nutritious.

Thanks for the suggestions.

YSK, you can edit titles here.

Less people, lower chance of defederation. Also, faster servers, and I love SDF as an organization even beyond the fediverse.
