If you notice, you’ll see each blog-post here has options for viewers to tell others about it if they wish to. How can they do that? It’s rather simple. The series of icons at the bottom of every post and the 2 links right below each post’s heading at the top are in fact gateways […]
Visit India, courtesy IRCTC
With Lalu Yadav at the helm, Indian Railway is going places. For sure he has ideas, but so had others who came before him. But perhaps he is a person who ‘means’ it when he wants something done. Persons like him, when they lead, are likely to give more freedom to their subordinates to bring […]
Are Bengalis afraid outside?
We’ve heard this before. And now Kapil Dev says this again on ‘Frankly Speaking’ when interviewed by Arnab Goswami, the NDTV veteran and now the editor, Times Now. He is asked what he thinks of Sourav Ganguli. Kapil Dev’s surprise reply is that Sourav epitomizes courage and aggression, so unlikely in a Bengali. For good […]
Tomorrow’s bandh
I asked Sudeb, the vegetable vendor in the local bazaar today morning, if he would open tomorrow in view of bandh called by left trade unions. “Not a chance,” he said without looking up, “but I must sell all that is here.” He busied himself with arranging his stuff, keeping the fresh and old stock […]
Neotia Elbit Healthciti
Among the property developers who have brought in a breath of fresh air to the city’s staid old concepts, Bengal Ambuja must rank at the top. In the 90s, when EM Bypass was yet to be recognized as part of the city, Bengal Ambuja started large-format housing project where Santoshpur meets the Bypass. This was […]
Touching bottoms
Indian participants at the Doha Asiad have mastered the art of nonchalance to such perfection that one is shocked in disbelief and wonders if they have any amount of shame left in them. Indian hockey team’s exit from Asiad before semis is like searching for nadir with gusto. No member of the team except perhaps […]
New airport in offing
First it is that a second airport cannot come in Kolkata since one is already operating at Dum Dum. Then comes the ‘assertion’ that Kolkata’s present traffic does not warrant a second airport, never mind that as and when traffic soars, the present airport cannot keep pace with expansion, handicapped as it is with constraint […]
Jobs on platter
Infocom 2006, billed as the biggest IT exposition in the country ended yesterday at the Salt Lake Stadium. Besides Nasscom, the ABP group, through its arm Business World, has been the main sponsor of the 5-day event. IT (aka Information Technology) being the epitome of great Indian surge in global arena, Infocom 2006 expectedly drew […]
Who sees what
A few days back, a newspaper ad appeared on behalf of 8 city-based chambers of commerce, in which the group expressed concern over politicization of industrial progress in Bengal, and appealed to public not to hinder the path of the state’s industrial re-awakening. I’m excerpting here how 3 leading newspapers reported the incident. The Telegraph […]
Studying law
When my neighbor’s daughter got admission in WB National University of Juridical Sciences (WBNUJS) early this year, it was a cause for celebration. She was happy to have made it to a good institute, and also for the reason – as she explained – that a BA/LLB from NUJS would be a sure ticket to […]
