October!

Most of the students are probably having their end of the year examinations. And, I'm among them as usual. This definitely means more revision and fewer hours of Internet. But on some days, I'm before the computer surfing on the net or watching some Michael Jackson's video clips.


Apart from those inevitable exams, I also had to complete the "C.D.T Project Based Assessment" and "Preparatory Works for the Art Exams". And for the second time this year, I performed during Gandhi Day which was another wonderful experience.


Gandhi Day has been celebrated at Rabindranath Tagore Secondary Secondary School ever since it's foundation. Elders of the vicinity, grand parents of the pupils and inmates of the Swami Krishnanand Ashram are invited and lunch is served to them. We also have a garlanding ceremony as well a cultural show. This year, the cultural show was not so elaborated because of the recent death of another great man, Mr Putty. On that day, it was not just a question of serving lunch but also to care for the elderly people who are often rejected from the society by youngsters. This was the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi who always said that education without service to mankind is incomplete. Indranee Seebun, Minister of Women's Right, Child Develop­ment and Family Welfare, was the chief guest on that day.


Moving on, this October, we will have many big releases like This Is It, Moonwalk, The Official Michael Jackson Opus, Ubuntu Karmic Koala and Windows 7.

Michael Jackson's This Is It is the rehearsal footage of late Michael Jackson's 50 planned concerts. This movie will be released on October 28, 2009. A two-disc album featuring Michael Jackson's music and an unreleased single will also be out on October 26, 2009. The unreleased single This Is It will be unveiled on October 12, 2009 on Michael Jackson Official Site at midnight.


Moonwalk, the auto-biography of Michael Jackson, will be also reissued this month. The Official Michael Jakcson Opus, an authorized tribute to the King of Pop, will also be published.


Apart from Michael Jackson, Ubuntu Karmic Koala will also released. Ubuntu is currently the most popular Linux distribution and Karmic Koala is going to have loads of surprise. This one is going to contain "a boot screeen" and also an "Ubuntu Software Center". These are just some features of the upcoming Ubuntu which is going to release on October 29, 2009.


Windows 7 is another great release but this one doesn't seem interesting any longer. It has been already leaked several decades ago. Windows 7 has a completely new look and other many cool functions. It's super stable and fast. In other words, it can be called a revised Windows Vista. This one is going to have a release on October 22, 2009.
