I find an interesting comment here.
This time I haven’t asked Tanmoy whether I can publish his comment on my blog. I know he won’t mind.

I remembered a small incident at a very early professional life of mine. In those days, I had just joined as an Economist with Confederation of Indian Industry. While […]

Alex has expressed his desire to be a teacher. And a veteran Suvro Chatterjee has some advice for him.

Thanks for that article from one who has been a teacher by choice for 27 years now, Alka, and best wishes to Alex, who wants to become one. But Alex, especially, be warned:
1) In todays’ milieu, […]

I found Helen “Item girl” or cabaret dancer of yesterday in a totally different dance number. Its a pleasant surprise to watch her dancing like this.

When I watch TV or read newspapers and magazine I often whine over how can they publish substandard materials and oversell glamor to unsuspecting readers. Whenever anyone dares to ask why they don’t publish much about people who are doing substantial service in the various fields the answer is, “It doesn’t sell.” People are more […]

It seems as if Maharashtra is a privately owned property by Mr. Raj Thackeray. And only he has the privilege to decide who can reside in Maharashtra and what festivals they can celebrate. Why he questions Mr. Amitabh Bachchan only? I think Vinod Khanna too was a MP, fought elections from Punjab and not from […]

I thought these things existed in stories only. Amrit sent me this link:
Four months into her pregnancy, Lorraine Allard was devastated to learn she was in the advanced stages of cancer.
Doctors advised her to have an abortion and start chemotherapy straight away.
Instead, with steadfast courage, she insisted on waiting long enough to give her unborn […]

How the dancer is singing with her body and how graceful her movements are.

I have read this article in “The Pioneer” months ago. It states,
“Did you know that at least four to five weddings in Delhi equal the scale of the Chatwal and Mittal wedding every season? Just because their money is fatter than their name doesn’t mean that the big fat Indian wedding is not becoming chic, […]

Tanmoy has e-mailed me this post ages ago. But I was unable to merely copy paste it at my blog. Sorry Tanmoy. I will not be THAT late in future, if you honor my mailbox with your sensitive posts again.
The death of this young man, Rizwanur, created a political storm and heads rolled in the […]

On craigslist you can put ad about anything. See what a woman was saying about herself and her pursuit.

Okay, I’m tired of beating around the bush. I’m a beautiful (spectacularly beautiful) 25 year old girl. I’m articulate and classy. I’m not from New York. I’m looking to get married to a guy who makes […]

I simply feel elated when I read this news. ‘RJ who made derogatory comments could be arrested‘ And I am glad that Indian Idol III, Prashant Tamang’s fans and locals are out to teach this RJ a lesson. What I don’t feel good about is the violence part. It could have been achieved peacefully too. […]

What I know that there is no problem for assigning Rahul Bhaiya and Priyanka Didi sarkari bungalows. Though in what capacity / designation Priyanka Didi is living in a government bungalow, no one knows. They and their family have “sacrificed” so much for India and Indians. We will have to look after them and their […]

When I heard news about AIIMS doctors not getting their degrees due to Anbumani Ramadoss, a Health Minister under Manmohan Singh. The current Tommy (PM) only shouts when Madamji orders him,”Tommy bark!” and never bites. His teeth were taken out by madamji to lock safely. Now it seems that Madamji has told Tommy Manmohan to […]

I am posting this from Amrit’s blog:
Just read a very sad account at Mridula’s IIT-K blog and I think the issue needs to be highlighted because such a rot is present everywhere in our society these days.
The canteen owner of one of the IIT halls came across a migrant laborer’s boy who had been […]

I watched this news item. Its contents are more delicious and sensuous than Rakhi Sawant’s any item song. Bravo Praveen Kumar Toppo!! We need more and more IAS officers like you. Your future is definitely bright if you keep following your “respected elder” Sibu Soren ji. When you got selected for the IAS finally, you […]

My efforts are bearing “fruit” now.

This defunct mouse should now work to restore some greenery though to a tiny patch.

Every year steps are announced by college administration to curb the menace of ragging but it continued unabated. Why people want to rag their juniors? The equation seems a bit like mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. Since I was hounded by my mother-in-law, I will do the same to my daughter-in-law, though there is nothing personal. Just […]

CNN-IBN says:
“Women empowerment - the agenda endorsed and publicised as the key reason behind Pratibha Patil’s appointment as India’s first woman president - lost all merit when it came to giving India’s first woman IPS officer the post of the police commissioner.”…
“a demure, non-threatening figurehead Pratibha Patil - who keeps her head covered with her […]

I can’t help posting this. Those who are watching or reading news these days, need some solace. I thank Raymond for this divine distraction.

Watching Pratibha Patil taking oath as President of India, I was thinking how low will we stoop? But we have already sunk to the unfathomable depth of lowness as […]

After watching this video, I have developed reverence for management fundas.
