North Kolkata Calling !!

This renowned college was established by Rev Alexander Duff in 1830.

Many eminent personalities once studied in this renowned school of Calcutta.Among them Subroto Roy of Sahara fame was one of them.

Mr.Obama,the American President, finally accepted the fact that quitting smoking is really tough.But tough situation always keep the toughs moving. Fortunately he succeeded in over coming the habit by saying 'No' to tobacco (helped by nicotine gum?). During his October physical check up he was declared 'a tobacco free person'.

This Puja was started around 231 years ago by Ramdoolal De(Deb).Till now it continues without dropping an year !

Wonder how many users of Domestic LPG GAS Cylinders in Kolkata found the correct Emergency Number when in dire need ! Even if one is lucky enough to locate a number through Internet or otherwise-only God knows if that would be of any use. Just had this experience when my cylinder started leaking and the supplier refused to attend. Whom to complain ?

Wonder if anyone has ever heard of a woman delivering a baby every week.And that too within a year! She had been successful in delivering 52 children within this particular time frame.One must be wondering that,perhaps, this could be the reason why India is rapidly catching up with China's population. Sorry-the error lies somewhere else.In the so called Record Keeper's book.Someone has exploited the rule(Rs1400 for each delivery) and has pocketed around Rs72,800 by putting the name of the same woman for each delivery. Interesting isn't it ?

The present family of this renowned house consists of Barrister, Advocate, Artist, Teachers (Including IIT Kharagpur), Poets, Lyrists, Musicians , Organisers,Engineers, Bussinessmen. Further the house is well known for playing important role in organising Sutanuti Parishad, Old Calcutta Musical Society Etc. Of course many family members stay aboard but regularly keep in touch with their root !!

Wonder why there is a great difference in reports served by Google Analytics and Blogger Stats ! Number of visits , pages and all other reporting datas does not seem to match each other's report !!

Bengal always thought beforehand what India thought later. The latest thinking tank of Bengal decides to make Shahrukh Khan Brand Ambassador of Bengal ! Only Bengal could switch gears from Tagore to Shah- rukh Khan quite quickly ! In fact -very quickly !!

Huaxi is probably the richest village in China.It brags of a 74 storey hotel-15th tallest building in the world with 2nos Bulls at 60th & 62nd floors. These two are probably the most expensive Bulls in the world!One made of pure gold and the other made of pure silver-each of them weighing a ton! Hats off to the rich residents - who worked as a 'commune' while still registering themselves as villagers !

It was shocking to know from the Newspapers that a privately owned elephant trampled a child after he had his five minutes fun ride. Vivek a boy of class two, who decided to reward the elephant after the fun ride with a ten rupee note, was suddenly caught by the elephant by its trunk and flung twice before trampling him to death. That too before his horrified parents ! Wonder if such incidents are shown in Animal Planet to create awarness !!

No matter what the Wall Street Occupy or Dalal Street Occupay says -it is true that the World will always be ruled by few persons or organisations or countries ! It will proably be like a pilot in an airoplane where the fate of passengers lies on few hands ! Hence the Sterring Wheel will always be in few hands ! The driver or pilot, of course, might change from time to time ! Or there might be a new formula of percentages !

Our heartiest congratulations to those citizens who took upon themelves to clean the Santragachi Jheel-while the Forest Department failed in its duty.According to Arjan Basu Roy around 70% of the lake has been freed from the encroaching hyacinth. Hence welcome,once again,Gadwalls,Garganey Teals, Fulvous & Lesser Whistling Ducks.

This was perhaps the first privately run Bengali school in Calcutta. It was established by Gour Mohon Addy in the year 1829. Men like Rabindra Nath Tagore, Umesh Ch.Banerjee,Girish Ch.Ghosh & may other eminent persons studied here.

We have long been taught to believe that vacuum is suppused to be an empty space.But scientists now are sceptical to this long or orthodox belief. Wolfgang Sander, president of the German Physics Society,is a firm believer that even the truest vacuum contain pairs of molecules . In fact this could be proved through an extremely powerful laser -powerful enough to boil the so called fabric of space-THE VACUUM!!

In a recent interview Shahruk Khan, a famous filmstar, stated that he always advised his child to listen to his Heart. A good piece of advice by a caring father, no doubt, but how far this advice could go-is the sacred question ! In the present world everyone usually targets the one & only one precious thing left in human being !! The Heart !!!!!

Those empty chairs will not remain empty for long! Jatra once patronised by Zamindars of Old Calcutta-still in limelight. One could just look around and find changes everywhere but Chitpur Jatra para still attracts "Bainadars" from far away places !

Wonder what could be the effect of Saif Ali Khan's Coronation ! India doesn't seems to like things like this ! After all this is Democracy ! But do we really love the people who rule the country. The question once again goes back to " Do we like Dynasty Rule?" Congratulations,however, to the new Nawab of Pataudi !

One cannot help but be shocked to know that sculptures and paintings by Degas and Picasso remained unsold inspite of Christie's highly charged marketing. Probably collectors are more bent towards surrealist art and that maybe the reason why Max Ernst's "The Stolen Mirror" painted in or around 1941 in US- made a kill by becoming the topmost seller !

How could we forget the last full fleged war fought by the Indian Army in 1971-to give birth to Bangladesh. During that period he was the second lieutenant in his artillery unit who gave fire support to the Indian Infan- try, which made daring attempt to break through Pakis- tan's defence in the Jessore-Khulna-Dhaka axis !! Our salute to Lt.Gen.A.S.Lamba who just retired to hand over charges to Lt.Gen.S.K.Singh.

An overburdened Exucative, trying to snatch a quick meal at a roadside foodstall,was intercepted by a Salesman ! While trying to control his patiance he, however, decided to hear it out. His patiance ran out when he found the Salesman talking rubbish. "What's that ?" "Marketing !" Without wasting a moment the Exucative slapped him. "What's that ?" a perplexed Salesman. "Customer's feedback!" the prompt reply !
