North Kolkata Calling !!

They were twins named Joefred and Ralfred Their father  Gregory still remembers when the doctor announced that his wife Soja has delivered twin babies. From that very day they noticed the twins behaviour -which were very identical. Later when they grew up they showed strange similarities in almost every respect. They almost did everything together. Both of them chose Computer Engineering and both had their jobs in Hyderabad. Unfortunately both of them caught Covid-19 the same day ! AND  both died - hours after one another !!   .

Is the Whiskey from LaGrange, Georgia the oldest known Whiskey in the world? A Carbon dating done by  the Uni- versity of Georgia reveals that the bourbon was bottled between 1762 to 1802. Joseph Hyman,  rare spirit expert in a statement " thought the whiskey to be the only bottle of the trio from the cellar of J.P.. Morgan It was gifted in 1940s to Washington power elite."

Could you have imagined a year or so ago- of such incident happening just beside you ? Being just 34 years old you were least expected to witness a bizzare death of a woman - lying two beds away in a Hospital.  In fact 11 Covid-19 patients died a painful death as pressure  in the oxygen lines suddenly dropped ! It happened at the Chengalpet Government Medical College Hospital as the paper says. The young man said," The fear that you could be the next victim is the worst thing that can happen to anyone." .

It is almost like a fairly tale that occurred in Suchow city ! The occassion was the marriage ceremony of a chinese couple. When the rituals began for the ceremony the mother of the groom noticed some birthmark on the bride's hand. She immediately remembered such a mark in her daughter's hand. Some 20 years ago she lost the daughter in a fair. She tried to locate her in whatever ways she could but failed. At last she lost all hope and finally adopted the boy (the groom). Unable to resist her suspicion she asked the bride's father if she was her own daughter! The man nodded and revealed that he adopted her from a charityhome.  There was a lot of merriments as they came to know that  they were not from the same blood !!   The ceremony continued !!!

To be or not to be. Rather-to write or not to write. Probably it will sound foolish or-if I would like to be precise - quite careless. It all depends upon our personal sensetiveness which usually differs from person to person. I was standing in a queue for drawing money. There were at least 7/8 persons before in the said queue. While looking aimlessly hither and thither my eyes caught the cashier's dress. She was a young lady busy doing her job quite effeciently. The fan was just over her head running at full speed as it was quite hot. The  front button of the lady's shirt got unknowingly opened and all eyes were forced to notice this.  I couldn't take it any longer as my sense of decency compelled me to request the lady -standing  before me- to alert the cashier. Surprisingly  the lady (40/45 yrs  old) started smiling and  denied my request. Her excuse was that the young lady might feel insulted and humiliated!! Later I discussed the matter with my wife and -more surprisin

Yesterday a tiger suddenly pounced upon a fisherman near Bhubaneshwar village. It all happened when Shankar & his wife Jostna were fishing in their country boat. They were rowing beside the forest when a tiger attacked Shankar. Finding the tiger dragging him deep into the forest-his wife Jostna -took a stick and tried to save him. The tiger gripped him by his neck & chest. Nevertheless Jostna kept hitting with the stick wherever she could. It was useless and the  tiger  kept it's hold on Shankar. In desperation Jostna now caught the tiger's ear and pulled as hard as she could. Fortunately this produced the required result. Shankar was  released and the tiger went  deeper into the forest. The villegers immediately took him to a Kolkata nursing home for his treatment.

It happened once again in the Kolkata Zoo. The previous occasion was when a  man, probably drunk, slipped into the tiger's  enclosure. The perplexed tiger paused for few moments while the man folded his hands as if asking for mercy.  Acording to its instinct it pounced upon the man and dragged him by the throat to the furthest corner. The man finally died after being severely mauled. Yesterday more or less the same thing happened.  This time the man willfully crossed the barriers. He simply jumped from a steep height and wounded himself. On the next instance he crawled towards a  surprised lion. He too was mauled  but- thanks to the officials & securities,   was saved and hospitalized !
