My Nitro Booster

Attention: open in a new window. PrintE-mail
Biplab Goswami (ISC 1999) |  Thursday, 18 February 2010 19:02

I graduated from De Nobili in the year 1999. It was a very short span I spent there as I was from DNS Sindri but shifted to FRI after my 10th. I was always a below average student and lacked the Nitro buster to speed up my career. The incident I am going to narrate was during 1st terminal exams I flunked in the Bengali paper along with a few more so there was a "love letter" sent to my parents. Guys, it was really humiliating but rule is a rule. I asked my dad to accompany me to school I never told him the real reason.

"Had there been Keats in De Nobili I know where he would have heard the nightangle ...Had there been a satan in De Nobili I know what he would have loathed the most..."

Do you know about the endangered specie reared in De Nobili? No?

Come on!

You should!

Beauty, dear reader. Asthetic beauty, the specie close to extinction. Have you not heard off those days, when crazed by the proclamations of the mirror on the wall the evil queen send destruction in the viced apple on her own daughter, talk to history and he will eagerly sit with the timeless smoke between the lips and tell you of how Adam's race for superiority pronounced death on brothers, and history, buddy, loves to talk of the "mirror on the wall" and will tell you of the cruelty and brutality of it all with a pale face and the with a sparky grin he will tell you about the prince, with a happily ever after mark on his head, who comes to rescue his maiden, and in de nobili we have them too.

The phenomenon named Harry Potter-created by Joanne Kathleen Rowling and immortalized in a series of mesmerizing novels that stretched over seven volumes and spanned more than a decade has provided the food for thought to a whole generation of children irrespective of geographical barriers.Ironically, there were hardly any takers when the first volume was written,and the author had to go begging for a publisher.Long before the last volume was penned,publishers were in a queue and the whole generation that grew up with Harry Potter waited in eager anticipation.More than eight million copies were sold on first day and the cash registers are still running-and the author is already the richest woman in Britain.

The distinctive Rowling style of narration,the iconic characters and the magnetic storyline makes The Deathly Hallows unputdownable- which has become the benchmark of a Harry Potter novel.

Review (special mention): Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

'Harry Potter is my life', 'Harry is like a friend'and 'Harry is my lifeline'- these were some of the starting lines of articles I found in newspapers. But for me Harry Potter and other characters of the book are medium through which I learn and study people. And I can swear that I have not spoken anything more true before.But surely I can’t say that I never dreamt to be a teenage wizard.
Coming to the “Deathly Hallows”, I was very happy and excited when I issued this last book from the library.

Harry Potter 7th was no doubt best of all its previous books. Mrs Rowling has really proved that she has mastered the art of writing and making readers spellbound. She has also made sure to fill excitement right from the beginning. The Dusleys at least turned out to be human… But then shocks started coming right after. Hedwig dead, then George’s ear gone and Mad Eye Moody… But at least it needed the dark lord himself to kill him.
