North Kolkata Calling !!

An educational institue, to rid its girl students from unnecessary fear of ghosts, has done an unimaginable thing. The Headmistress of the School, situated in Dhulian -Murshidaabad, instead of using modern scientific method -called priest & maulavi to practice black magic to chase the ghosts away. The Scientific Fraternity were wounded and showed displeasure. The students should have been scientifically explained they remarked!

In Kolkata some 65 years ago, we witnessed a show named Hol- iday on Ice. We were children then but still remember the show. Especially the Ice Skating on the Ice artificia- lly created by machine!! It was an amazing show!! It was probably held in Eden Gardens, as far as I could remember. It was a different Kolkata then.

In Siliguri's Phansidewa village a strange accusation was made. A tiger was killed and selfie photo taken along with the killers.  Later the tiger's meat was eaten by the so called poachers. It came to notice by the Authorities from a Facebook posting.  The forest authorities along with the SSB Jawans finally arrested the three culprits  from Kharibari faugi jot. They recovered the tiger's skin & nails! 

He is a qualified doctor and he loved his wife from the core of his heart.  Unfortunately his wife was detected positive in corona. He was forced to go from hospital to hospital and finally got her admitted but her condition became worse.  To save her he already spent his savings around Rs 10 lacs. But bills came pouring in. Finally he submitted his MBBS degree  and got Rs 70 lacs.  Fortunately he managed to get his wife   cured  and brought her back home! 

                    China opens the longest  Underwater Highway. This is under Taihu Lake - around 50 kilometers from Shanghai. It took 4years to  build this six  tunnel which is 10.7 Kilometres  long! 

How strange things happen!  I was returning in an Auto after spending a nice outing with my wife on the New Year morning.  The auto driver put up a loud song which - non the less- I was following It was a male female duet piece.  Being a musician myself I was  trying hard to locate Artists. When I failed I asked the driver the names of the Artists.  To my surprise he said it was Amit- tabh Bachchan. I thought -conside- ring my age- he probably thought that I would only recognise our  time heroes & superstars. Hence he quoted Mr.Bachchan's name.  There were two other teenagers too who probably were listening to our conversation. They started laughing and said that the singer wasn't Mr.  Bachchan. Strangely -when I asked them the same question they were unable to answer.  It pained me to find the present generation least bothered to know the name of the singers! 

Around 80 puppies were killed by a large group of monkeys at Lavloo village. The village is in Bir district of Maharashtra. A month ago a monkey cub fell from its mother's lap and few dogs immediately killed  it.  This led the monkeys to retaliate.  Wherever they found puppies they grabbed them- took them to great heights and killed them mercilessly The village has become dogless!
