Septua To Nonagenarian's



"Man is a social animal". Well we all know this and it is applicable for every human being irrespective of the fact whether you are a teenager or a septuagenarian or a nonagenarian. But unfortunately many people specially the sophisticated ones and the younger generation does not believe this. They are really finding it very difficult to digest this age old fact. Yes, its us because of whom the oldies are suffering. Mom and dad when 60 does not remain as sweet and close as they were before. Literally they are treated as if they are kind of burden for us. Its pathetic and pity to note that we does not care for our own mom and dad and shove them in old age home. The people who are the replica of GOD at least as said in our own tradition, surely deserves a much more respect and care even when they cross 60.

Oh! Gosh where is all the humanity going?

I urge all the youths and people of our society to spend a bit of time atleast talking to the older generation. May be a few minute will not bug u, but it could play miracle for them, who have been secluded. Just place yourself in their shoes and think how it would feel to stay alone without talking to anyone. These oldies need nothing just a bit of support and love from our side. And I think those experienced bunch are not asking much. A small place in heart is all they need. After all love moves the world!!!!!!

The Wishing Well

Male or Mail

Munni Ki Ma




Oh finally the Government Of India came up with a golden policy which will feature thousands of poor home maids across the country. Even though its debatable and many people may not happily agree to it. But trust me, I think that if we can get a weekly off then why can't they. They have been tortured and humiliated for numerous occasion at times even in my own home. I never liked that. The policy will simply imbibe some self respect for them. Just being poor, backward and helpless does not at all mean that they are not human. If we expect them to be machines and help manage our home, day in and day out with a negligible wage and perquisite and without leaves and breaks then it is completely ridiculous from our part. We need to put our self in their position and think that even they have a family and home to look after. Their two months small baby, their eighty seven year old ailing mother also need their support and care as much as we need and may be sometimes a few degree more than us. The thing is simple we need to be sensible and human while dealing with these poorly paid and treated beings.

Well still it will take a lot of time to actually put this proposed policy into practice and there is every possibility that it may get lost even before coming into picture. But still I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Theres every possibility that you have missed this front page news which featured the workplace rights for maids. Well, the faceless engine without which daily life will grind to a hault in India, are finally set to get the right to a weekly off, employment contract, minimum wage, fix working hours and health and life insurance.

Really, if it gets accepted then it will change the face of house maids in India. Documentation of these unskilled daily workers is absolutely necessary which will even check crimes and may even put a full stop to the regular sexual harassment. Who could forget the latest Sahini Ahuja episode.

Just give it a little thought!

DEBDEEP





Well, you know what its tough to deny close buddies. A simple request from Prakash Dolridge Toppo and here it is the most amazing testimonial of Debdeep. Even orkut could not handle the excessive load of this great epic. So friends, fasten your seat belt and enjoy this wonderful fountain of words by Prakash and off course feel free to comment.


"DEBDEEP...........uh.....oh........hmmm........................okay

The first thing I would say is that Never ever think to write a testimonial on him. Secondly if the thought comes in to your foolish minds, never ever dare to write one.

Confused ????????? I will prove both the points.

Many a times we meet people and the first thing we do is become formal. "hi", "hello", "Morning"..............etc. But HEY......... "abe yaar tension kis cheez ka, problem hai to batao, solve ho jayega". Moreover he would sit with you, listen to you, and then at the end of it all...........THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THIS. The last portion was a pun.
Therefore you can see that he is very very fun loving and facetious. He never forgets to shine his teeth before going out anywhere, because those are the most revealing portions of his body. He is very athletic and his "long jumps" are awesome. I doubt whether his trainer is a monkey. He is a great manager, and can organise parties and meetings, but at the end of it all, the credits go to the others who helped him. Are engineering ke baad MBA karna parta hai. Again if you wish to call him or sms him, you do have to wait for a long time. This is because, he cares his cellphone so much that to bring it out off his pocket into his skeletal fingers, takes a long long time. Again his haircuts are all peculiar, seems like, had a rush at the barber and therefore the latter took his revenge. Again................... Again......................Again
See i told you Never ever think to write one. The list does not finish.


But really, if you want to have a real friend, he's the one. Now do not go by the definition of "real" (having an actual existence in the physical world), but in the sense that he is a genuine person who can just make you feel secured when in and around. He loves to eat heavy food and light snacks are his enemies.
Yes, gossips and chatting are his special weapons. He deceives people through the efficient use of these tools. Wah! Wah! These are the computer engineers. Again i don't understand he has a soft corner for squashy and spongy bengali songs. A character like him can have a contrasting taste. Moreover he loves to take snapshots of....... of......of,, KYA YAAR HE ALWAYS TAKES PHOTOS of anything. Pata nahi mera modelling assignment kab aayega ??????
He has numerous tastes and different hobbies but again I said earlier, never ever sit down to write a testimonial for him. They never finish.

Now since i have proved my both points, it is time to reveal the actual truth. To know him and to comprehend him, you need to be close friends with him. And to become a close friend you just need to do one simple thing......................................
SEND A FRIEND REQUEST. It is as simple as that.
Anyways good luck.........................."

Sci-Fi




Those who does not understand "Fallopian Tube", google!

Adieu Friends






Its exactly 4 years in the city of joy. The memory stretches from first lecture @ Goenka to the last working day @ IBM. Really the 4 years were a perfect blend of exposure and freedom for me. I have witnessed the harsh days @ Shoba Bazar & Dum Dum Cantonment to the smooth stay @ 73/9. I have tasted the plain simple food of police canteen on one hand and the spicy cuisine of Machan @ Money Square on the other. I have enjoyed a lot @ swanky malls and even suffered and panicked @ water logged street. The office hour rush crowd @ Bangaon Local to the soft, smooth luxurious journey @ Low line volvo AC bus, I have seen it all. From Debadarshi to Devesh and from Pratik to Prakash, I have met hundreds of people in this great city.

Well yet again I'm standing on the verge of another sharp turn in my career and there are several things that I'm going to miss and I reckon that many of them are never going to replicate in my life time.

Joining Art Of Living and then diving deep into the service was definitely one of the finest thing that I have done in my life. And rightly the good deed, presented Ridhi Tibrawala, a beautiful soul into my life. Well, I really don't know the reason behind my affinity with her, but yeh strangely, once an unknown face is now my elder sister. The amount of love and respect that I have got not only from her but also from her clans is simply amazing. Ridhi, Kriti and Saurabh are the three musketeer with whom I gelled well during my fruitful stay @ Kolkata.

The mouth watering, savoury food that I got to eat, even hundreds of KM away from home was only possible because of the Tibrawala's. Really I owe a lot to them and will truly miss you people.

Devesh, the swashbuckling, Mechanical Engineer from Jadavpur University, frankly tops the list whom I'm going to miss. The days with him were fabulous. We have smiled, fought and even slept neck to neck (read positively) for numerous occasion.

Its tough to get a friend who will fit into his shoes. His physical absence will surely bug a lot. I wish him very best for his next chapter @ United States and I'm confident that he is going to get many accolades even in that foreign land.

Really it seems, I would have to continue playing (read living) without some key players and it would be tough to overcome there absence. I agree life needs to move on but its going to be a real emotional turn around!
