North Kolkata Calling !!

A Russian man was attacked by a brown bear. He was in a forest around 125 KM from Moscow. Surrounding the capital, beer sighting has become quite  frequent. The man was there to collect antlers shed by elk and deer last week.  The beer attack was so sudden that he could not react. He however pretended to be dead as the bear began to gnaw at his skull.It even turn him over and started eating his face.  It was quite hard for him to pretend dead in such a situation. However he kept himself calm and pretended for a while .The bear finally, took him for  dead , and left him alone to be found later by others.

Suddenly I thought of watching and old Indian film. After a lot of wondering I found a film when I was around 15 or 16 years of age. The name of the film is going shehnai I kept on watching the film for more than an hour and send me I failed that the artist in the film are no longer alive. Fortunately I was there and young man full of energy full of dreams and full of god knows whatever.  I saw the heroines of the past and thought how lucky I am to be alive and watching them and in the sense I got a peculiar grinder so that which help me to forget my loneliness. I am nice better of than my old heroes and heroines hot eye. The very reason is that they are gone and I am still alive. Isn't that a lively thought?

The longest individual speech, till now, belongs to Strom Theurmond of South Carolina. It was a 24 hours and 18 minutes against the civil rights act of 1957.  That record will be ,now broken by senator Kory Booker. The 55 years old senator ,  a former football tight end, spoke , without stopping for a moment, for 19 hours. Though, exhausted, he went on and on . The marathon speech, which  continues is against Trump's agenda !

We have probably read in Arabian Nights about a King who disguised himself for the poors. Now we find another benevolent and unknown person, who decides to put a plate of bananas every day on a particular place. This has been happening for more than a year. People of UK (Beeston) are quite surprised to find the plate of peeled bananas regularly. At the corner of Abbey Road and Wensor Avenue around 16 to 20 bananas show up every day. Strangely residents, till now, have no clue about whose doing it is!      .                          

I was around 21 /22 years of age. Unfortunately or fortunately I had friends who were much senior than me. Among them there was one who was around 35 years of age and his name was Runuda. He used to tell us sad stories about his wife who had recently died. It happened that one day he told us about planchet. And one afternoon we decided to call his wife in planchet. So we all gathered in my bedroom and started with the table in the centre . Runuda was senior and so whatever he said we followed. The room was dark because all the windows were closed and we started doing whatever Ronuda was saying .We put our fingers on the planchet table and we began thinking of Ronuda's wife whose name was  Bithidi. Nothing happened and we were all tensed.  After around 5 or 6 minutes later the table started moving and Ronuda said that it was Bithidi. In fact he asked "Are you busy -if you are so move the table to the right. Immediately the table began moving to the right! After that whatever qu...

You feeling lonely? Don't have company? Never mind - simply rent a Robot ! Zhang Genyuan , a chinese influencer, was inspired by sci-fi films showing the coextance of Robot with human. To find out ,if it was really possible in real life, he hired a Robot for a day.He spent 10,000 yuan (₹1.16 lakh approx) for the said purpose. The result was fantastic and he wondered why human's should not have such a company for life!

Someone at sometime asked me the meaning of alphabet. I am still considering it a very tough question and I don't have any answer yet.

In the auction one gold and four silver 5kg coin -expected to fetch a combined six figure sum.

It's time to make money by supplying dead or alive mosquitoes.A Philippine village, exhausted by mosquito bites along with deaease that it brought, was compelled to announce bounties for mosquitoes. This unusual declaration by Mandaluyong City was the result of the growing mosquito-born desease in Quezon over the weekend. Around 28,234 cases of dengue was recorded in Philippines this year. It shows a 40% increase compared to the last year. Residents will be rewarded with one peso (just over 1%) for every 5 mosquitoes or mosquito larva they turn up with!

A big humpback whale swallowed Adrian(24) along with his yellow kayak. He was kayaking with Dell, his father, in Bahia El Aguila near San Isidro Lighthouse in the Strait of Magellan. Dell, who was few meters away, encouraged his son to be calm and turned his video on. The whale, however, spat out without harming him. Later Adrian said that he thought it had swallowed and eaten him.

It is not unusual to find uninvited guests in a wedding.Sometime they are overlooked and often they are fed with wedding delicacies. Taking this opportunity some even replaces expencive gifts presented by guests. This time an unexpected...in fact..a very unexpected guest decided to savour few delicacies. It was a hungry leapord that entered the wedding ceremony of Akshay Srivastava and Jyoti Kumari in Lucknow's Para area.Guests were not alarmed since they took it as  fake - maybe just to exite the kids. It entered from the lawn and leapt on the rooftop. Later,  the forest officer along with  guards and four tranquiliser experts were on the spot .The tiger was hiding behind broken furnitures. Without warning it sprang towards a guard named Muqaddar Ali . He staggered back but not before his right hand was slashed by the tiger's claw ! Two tranquillizers were needed to capture it.  The wedding house finally turned from terror to triumph once again.

I forgot the name but some renowned Artist said the above words. Vilayat Khan have repeatedly protested against an Artist's freedom -even during his era. At present things have reached a certain stage from where there is no return. Artists are frustrated and quite a few numbers are having heart problems too (KK). Who is to blame? Probably we are all responsible or maybe the Time itself. I would like to relate a story of Tansen here.He was performing before Akbar the Mughal Emperor.Soon the Emperor noticed that some among the audiences were repeatedly moving their heads and loudly saying ',Aha aha' at the wrong time.He immediately requested Tansen to stop for a while. He announced that those found moving their heads or shouting Aha will have too move out. Tansen began once again. After sometime few heads started moving and there were few Ahas too.Akbar ordered the audiences (who were not moving their heads with Ahas) to leave the darbar. From Tansen to the present day Artist...
