Calcutta? No thanks. This is the title of yesterday’s post in his blog, BigTripBlog (see the post), by globetrotter Kevin Allgood. He and his companion, Valerie Marshall from US evidently had a different image in mind about Kolkata, but on setting feet here, they did not like the city at all. In ‘our’ humble opinion, […]
Completing the rout
After blanking off Mohun Bagan 2-0 this afternoon, Sao Paulo Football Club (SPFC) from Brazil completes the rout of 3 major Kolkata clubs. They earlier defeated East Bengal 3-0 and Mohammedan Sporting 6-0. Notably, there are many Brazilians associated with Kolkata teams. The two coaches of East Bengal and Mohun Bagan and the captain of […]
Wisdom speaks
Whoever said pearls are hidden beauty of age is perhaps not off the mark. When one is young, nothing seems impossible. With each passing day, the irrepressible mind gives way to more awareness of what is possible and what is not, till the time comes when man (or woman) is able to measure his (or […]
TT changes…for better
When you regularly read a newspaper, you do not necessarily start from page one and proceed in page-wise sequence. I happen to do the same with my favorite paper, The Telegraph. Barely giving a glance to the main page (keeping it for later probing), I rather begin from last page (the BACKPAGE) and then flip […]
Tata Steel after Coca-Cola
For a change, today’s newspaper headlines are unanimous. They all hail Tata Steel as the new Indian champion – albeit in corporate sector. Expectedly, many hitherto unknown facts have come to the fore, among which is Tata Steel’s gatecrashing into Fortune Global 500 list. Fortune publishes the list once a year, so saying that Tata […]
Branded PCs lead the charge
When my friend who supplied my desktops all these years put his gloves down 6 months back for want of order, I could see the writing on the wall. He is among the lucky few to have switched over in time to ‘servicing’ PCs instead of pure hawking. This development of branded PCs gradually eating […]
10 most influential Internet marketers
When the Sun was just about to rise on the Internet horizon, and few people knew what the dawn was going to be, there were guys who could foresee what might occur in days to come. In their own mind, they felt here was an opportunity of lifetime and lost no time to start experimenting […]
Vista debuts
Guess how Microsoft launched Vista in India yesterday? It has been a superlative performance by a dance troupe, attired all blue, in front of Taj Mahal in Agra. Perhaps there’s a message in a blockbuster launch like that. Which is that Vista is second to none. [Image source] Released simultaneously in 70 countries for retailers, […]
Corus in Tata lap
It has been a long night of suspense in India, what with auction for acquiring controlling stake in Anglo-Dutch steelmaker Corus Group Plc getting underway a little after ten Indian time (1630 hrs GMT). In the end, Tata Steel emerges winner having bid 608 pence a share to Brazil’s CSN’s 603 pence a share. [Image […]
Facelifting Rabindra Sarobar
Kolkata’s powers-that-be are an ignorant lot when it comes to matters like environment and preservation of heritage. It is not a crime not to know everything. But it certainly is if you pretend you know everything, and worse still if you prevent others to do anything meaningful as if nobody knows better than you. This […]
