 Hi! This is Nipon Haque and Niponwave is my personal blog. This blog wants to talk about what is on my mind at the moment. So it mostly contains my activities and experiences. I also use this platform to share my newfound knowledge and ideas.

I have been blogging since 2005. Tell you what, it’s a really cool thing to do. A nice pastime I must say. By sharing with others you only know yourself more!
To tell a few words about myself, I am a medical student doing my MBBS from North Bengal Medical College, Siliguri. I am now in 6th semester. I did my schooling from St. Lawrence, Kolkata.

My favourite pastime is reading. From time to time, I write an update of the latest books read by me.

ActivitiesMy 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. 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. I read Desh regularly and some computer magazines occasionally.

I love listening to music. I like Poets Of The Fall, Joe Satriani, Susheela Raman, 1 Giant Leap, Dream Theater, Guns ‘N Roses, Metallica, Eagles, Scorpion, Evanescence, U2, Deep Purple and Linkin Park among others. Among Bangla bands, I like Fossils the most. I have listened to these tracks recently –

Table tennis is my favourite sports. Also played a lot of Football at school.

When I get a break, I like to hang out with friends or watch a movie. Here goes the list of my favourite movies - A Walk To Remember, Pulp Fiction, Godfather, Frida, Taare Zameen Par, Matrix Trilogy, Forrest Gump, Troy, A Beautiful Mind, Little Manhattan, Life Is Beautiful, Casino Royale, Fast and The Furious 2: Tokyo Drift, Just Like Heaven.

I watch very little TV - mainly news. Favourite show is Devil’s Advocate.
