About tiger & tigress !!

He was perhaps the most notable princely cricketer-Tiger Pataudi. His wife another notable celebrity from film world-Sharmila Tagore (now)Ayesha Sultana. A tigress herself-she has decided to bring to record the scattered and encroached properties of the Bhopal Nawabs. Overburdened by her husband's death, she took it upon herself to resolve a decade old family dispute.Her husband's fair-weather friends (mostly opportunists) may not feel very comfortable henceforth. The Nawabs who ruled Bhopal from 1723 & 1947-on the other hand -might breath a little easier in their ancestral graves !

Old Musical Shop of North Calcutta !

It could be around 100years old musical shop. Of course it began its journey from Dhaka and came to rest in Calcutta only on 1953- as Suman Karmakar claims. Panchkori,Badal & Biswanath all titled Karmakars-first started the shop & now it is Suman Karmakar's responsibility to keep the flag flying. Indirectly exported Sitar, Tanpura etc to US, UK Europe etc.

Facebook jobs in India !

All those who have slept and dreamt on Facebook would now probably have a chance to know the mechanisms that keeps the social networking site going. Previously FB had a very small presence in India as far as placements were concerned. Now, fortunately, it has decided to come back in a big way. Hence cheer up young guys since the number of application forms would be more than that of the other companies !

NRIs Homeward Bound ?

It is probably true that many senior Indian professionals working in foreign countries(US,UK,Europe) are seriously thinking of settling back in India.This is perhaps due to the growing uncertainties in Western countries. Especially those working in banking,IT,telecom,retail,hospitality & automotive etc.Some of them have already lost their jobs and are finding it hard to get another. They are hopeful that the India growth story might give them the required relief.Besides, bringing their children to the mainstream families & their own culture too could be an important factor!
