Niponwave

Hi, I am Nipon Haque, a final year MBBS student from North Bengal Medical College. Thanks for visiting Niponwave, my tech/personal/random blog. This website has been live since 2005 and I gave it a new design a year later. But as you can see, Niponwave is in a dire need of some reformatting and restructuring, something that I plan to address in the very near future.

I did my schooling from St. Lawrence High School, Kolkata. My interests include literature, music and cinema while I keep myself busy with reading, blogging, table tennis, being a critique and a part-time foodie. Fiddling with computers for years has made me quite savvy and my love for the amazingly interesting CSS, the mind-boggling PHP and the very basic HTML has only grown deeper, to an extent that I moonlight as a web developer and an SEO expert.

This blog mostly contains my personal ramblings, tech tutorials and anything random that is on my mind. I also write on Bong Buzz, a group blog site run by my friends and me. I am fairly active on the OmicronLab Community where I am a forum moderator. I can also be reached at the following social profiles: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn MySpace.

My favourite pastime is reading. I can go on reading for hours. If I get a good book, I forget sleep and hunger. I like to read Sharatchandra most. I have read all his works - novels, short stories, articles, personal letters and incomplete novels. I have also read most of the stories by Jules Verne, another favourite of mine. I had once desired to learn French to read Verne in French. One writer I simply adore is Dan Brown, the master of thrillers. I normally don’t like to read detective stories - but Byomkesh by Sharadindu is an exception. Among 18th century English classics, The Great Expectations and Black Tulip are my two favourites. As a child, I was a great fan of Enid Blyton while Tintin and Asterix remain my all-time favourite comics. Among contemporary authors, I like to read Chetan Bhagat, Jhumpa Lahiri, Vikram Chandra. Actually the list can go on and on. Oops I forgot to mention Fountainhead by Ayn Rand - a book that will move you. Oh yes, I don’t like Sidney Sheldon. A list of a some of the books/authors that I have always loved to read.

The Zoya Factor, Atlas Shrugged, Sea of Poppies, The Kite Runner, Inheritance of Loss, Sacred Games, Fountainhead, One Hundred Years of Solitude, A Thousand Splendid Suns, Nohonyote (নহন্যতে), Suchitra Bhattacharya, Narayan Sanyal, Angels & Demons, Kalkut, Sharadindu, Da Vinci Code, Namesake, Five Point Someone, Shankar, Bonoful (বনফুল), Shankar, Black Tulip, Great Expectations, Far From The Madding Crowd, Black Beauty, Enid Blyton, Sunil Gangopadhyay, Tintin, Sukumar Roy

I love listening to music. I like Rabindrasangit, Joe Satriani, Dream Theater, Poets Of The Fall, Guns ‘N Roses, Metallica, Eagles, Scorpion, Green Day, Evanescence, U2, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Limp Bizkit, Dire Straits, Linkin Park, Robbie Williams, Fossils, Cactus, Aerosmith, Enrique Iglesias, Eminem, Queen, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Susheela Raman, 1 Giant Leap, Shubhamita, Chris Isaak, George Michael, Rammstein, Midival Punditz. I have listened to these tracks recently –

It has been long I have watched any TV. When I did, I watched very little TV - mainly news. Favourite show used to be Devil’s Advocate.

Football and Tennis are the two sports I love to follow. Not interested in cricket really. I play Table Tennis a lot and try to keep myself fit and fine in the gym - nowadays I end up going there like 3 days in a month though!
