A new year arrives and some new lessons are learned. Working on a new issue or theme of Fried Eye, teaches me newer things, both statistical and abstract.

Dear Readers, How time flies. It seems like yesterday when we started off. 1st January, 2010 changed our lives forever (forever is a big word but we would take the liberty to use it here). And to think of it, it is 1st January, 2012 already. We had a dream that we tried to execute [...]

Even the best laid plans can go awry- At the precise moment I know three individuals or groups who are thinking on the same lines. One of course is yours truly as can be assumed by the delay in our edition this time, and the other two? One, I guess will be Anna Hazare after [...]

If some body were to ask me which trait of human beings do I like best, my answer would be resilience. This is one quality that makes the world go on and human beings survive even in the extreme of conditions. Well they do vary in degrees in different individuals, but the bottom line remains [...]

For a change I do not want to write about what has been happening around. Not Metallica nor the F1 . Not even about celebrations – Diwali, Halloween or Bakri Id. Maybe I do owe a responsibility to mention that 31st October is the birth anniversary of Sardar Ballabh Bhai Patel, but I will not [...]

Do you have those strange urges when you just don’t feel like struggling ? When you would just like to lie down and stare ahead doing nothing? When nothing excites you to laugh or fight?

After days of darkness and gloom, things seemed sunnier for Fried Eye this issue, first with the cheer and good will of Eid followed by Ganesh Chaturthi. The last few days too spelled hope amongst the people- first with the victory of People over Dictatorship in Libya and then, not the least in our own [...]

With freedom comes great responsibility but sadly this fact is over looked by some callous individuals leading to misery of a great number of people. More so if they are responsible for a state, region, country. The past fortnight’s incidents have been quite depressing, with the news of Londonriots, Pune farmers shooting, Mig 21 crash [...]

Just a few weeks back we were getting geared up all gung ho with this issue when things started to go bad with the two train derailments. Things went from bad to worse when Mumbai happened shocking us into numbness.Anything I wanted to write seemed shallow against those tragedies. Condemning , consoling , praying- nothing [...]

From the time I was five, until the time I understood the meaning of death anniversaries, 20th June meant only one thing for me. My sister and I would take part in the All Assam Jyoti Sangeet and Rabha Sangeet competitions that used to be organized by the All Assam Students’ Union (AASU), and were [...]

The last few months have seen the most drastic situation that the country has ever faced regarding the question of corruption. Corruption has always been a part of the society; in fact an integral part of the Indian society. The only difference between the past and the present scenario is that never before had the [...]

As I sit to write the editorial of this issue, quite a few things are going in my mind. The primary being the Helicopter Crash on April 19th that killed 17 people injuring 6 others. In that crash, we lost a Rakesh Barua (aka Anupam Barua). He was a great bassist and inspiration to many [...]
