		<title>WOW!!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I find an interesting comment here.
This time I haven&#8217;t asked Tanmoy whether I can publish his comment on my blog. I know he won&#8217;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 [...]]]></description>

		<title>For the Would be Teachers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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&#8217; milieu, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Salute</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am reposting one of my old poems. The idea of reposting this poem germinated yesterday, the Valentine&#8217;s Day. But I resisted posting it on that grand day.  
Music floating in the air,
Whispering voices
enveloping me,
Fizz of dainty wine,
Playing on my tongue,
Transporting me
to a different planet,
Not at the happening restaurant
Of town.
They promised a slice of [...]]]></description>

		<title>BUT it won&#8217;t sell&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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&#8217;t publish much about people who are doing substantial service in the various fields the answer is, &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t sell.&#8221; People are more [...]]]></description>

		<title>What about Loyalty to India?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mother!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
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 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Say,&#8221;I Do&#8221; the Mittal Way</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have read this article in &#8220;The Pioneer&#8221; months ago. It states,
&#8220;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&#8217;t mean that the big fat Indian wedding is not becoming chic, [...]]]></description>

		<title>To Rizwanur From a Classmate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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 [...]]]></description>
