North Kolkata Calling !!

It is indeed commendable that Mr. A. N Sharma sincerely  tried  to throw some light on first known recordings of Indian Music. It is very unfortunate that 'Vande Mataram ' recorded by 'Swadeshi Binapani Records' was never released-as Mr.Sharma mentioned. It is high time that someone should dig further and reveal the history of the first two decades of Indian Music Industry !

Could we call it a house that shaped the early history of Calcutta ?

Till now- we think it is wise to take higher education simply for the reason that it will be rewarding. At present rewarding means Monetary Gains ! Unfortunately employers who provide jobs might think otherwise.  For them Business Gains could outdo educational importance !! Profit could be/ and always was The primary target of business !!!  Education or no education !!

 Are they still in business ?

It is interesting to note that young bloods  repeatedly avoid such gatherings. Whether in India or America? Wonder why ? What is their interest ? Certainly not Nostalgia ? Let us . however , expect that the presence of  Bengal's Finance Minister will bear fruit-  & create adequate awareness and interest among the Bengali society there !!

Wonder what will happen to the bottle of Champagne which a physicist found in his US office. It was meant  to be used for celebration in case the result declared- favours what Higgs presumed 48 years ago. Indians -especially we North Calcuttans-could feel proud since it was Satyendra Nath Bose ( who lived in North Calcutta) in whose name the elementary Particle of Boson is named. In fact the name Boson came from Bose !!
