North Kolkata Calling !!

When we are too tired we usually say 'Please don't disturb me I am dog tired." When circumstances are normal life goes on normally. Unfortunately present times are not as it used to be. All due to Covid19 and it's prolonged grasp on humanity. Even trained Police dogs are showing signs of forgetfulness. During training some of them, instead of running, are slowing down. Often these dogs are so exausted that they lie down mid way instead of running. These Police dog's training were kept in abeyance for nearly 8 months- thus showing signs of slowing down, forgetting lessons learnt during their training period . Some are even suffering from indigestion, diarrhea etc.

'It is the cause, it is the cause my Soul,' The above line quoted from William Shakespeare's 'Othello' seems seems sufficient to explain the death of Desdemona.

Maybe just to make it sensational or boost the Publication's sale they are brutally forced upon us -probably finding us easy preys. After reading the news of a serial killer killing 18 women one doesn't feel that all is well with the present humanity !

After winning their confidence he intoxicated them with liquor and raped & finally killed them! Isn't it extreme brutality ?

Chatu Babu (Ashutosh Deb)  is considered as the first Bengali Sitarist. Hence a program in Sitar is always given priority in every functions that the house organises !

Some has historical importance while others for their unique architectural values.  One should be aware of these buildings and take desirable steps to protect and save them from the path of extinction. Although work is on to build awareness yet a major issue seems to encircle around financial problems. (To continue)
