North Kolkata Calling !!

  To shoot a thrilling video leads to a tragic death of a young man.       It all happened on the Kolkata's Vidyasagar Setu. River Ganges  flowed around 200 feet below. That was the very cause for the young men in their twenties to select the spot for their Stunt Video.     They avoided the Police eyes and fixed up their timing to do their  Video. One of them took the lead and jumped from that height while the others were shooting.     Fortunately all seemed well when they found their friend swimming and waving. The second man named Zakir finding his friend Alam safe -took the deathly plunge never to appear again !

Considering the tremendous traffic jam including air  polution- Flying Cars were a long thought out idea. Presently there is a lot of activities going on to make the idea come true.   But could we fly from our own roof top was a question that haunted us for a long time !At present let us forget that and see what the leaders are doing. Britain claimed that an Airport for the purpose will be ready by November. It will be the world's smallest Airport but not for aeroplanes. It is almost complete at Coventry for Flying Cars only. On the other hand Japan claims to bring their Flying Cars by 2023.

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. She was a pure soul 'Yet she must die'. But what makes me uncomfortable and pains my sense are certain News that are exposed in Newspapers/Magazines. 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 ! The man simply lost his sanity after finding his newly married wife leaving for another. The Hyderabad man to take revenge sorted out lonely or single woman. After winning their confidence he intoxicated them with liquor and raped & finally killed them! Isn't it extreme brutality ?

Indian Classical Music still plays an important part in some of the North Calcutta Houses. This particular house is popularly known as Chatu Babu Latu Babu's house. 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 !

Kolkata- especially North Kolkata- has a lot of historical buildings. These buildings are not only old but are also important for various other reasons. 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) 

Wherever the Queen Bee goes she is immediately followed by the males.  This time the Queen decided to board an Airplane maybe for a flight from Kolkata to Delhi! She was followed by her followers and a part of the Plane's body was soon occupied by them. The light coloured plane turned into patches of black. Usually with the arrival of winter their activity seems to grow. Hence next day , being a Monday, the same activity was seen in another plane. All efforts by spraying pesticides proved useless. Finally the Airport's Firebrigad was put into action which solved the problem.    The Authorities are trying to find out the source from where  these bees  may be coming from !
