Mayapur Temple: radha, Krishna and Sakhi...

Just beautiful....

My son...he loves books, he can't read though!

My sweeeeeet little Popeye!

Vote.... IPL... Power cuts... Scorching heat...West Bengal is Burning!

There's nothing actually to explain! May be the whole of India is going through this phase! But in Kolkata, due to lack of rainfall this season and more of power-cuts, things have turned ugly. This has affected the learned brain of Kolkatans as well. You will see people shouting at each other on a corniest matter...(But now we have polls as a hot topic!) Fights break out on the roads, even rickshawwalahs shout at the top of their voice to ask more the rate fixed by their very own rickshawwalah union. Although life's pace is a bit laid back in this predominantly communist-minded people's state, now its full-on summer out here folk!!!

oh!! Did I say 'power-cuts'?? Okay...let me tell you that just now I got news from home that power supply was off for the whole day except for one hour in the noon. So, I call it POWER FAILURE now!!

Can you beat that! OMG...I just love it! This was taken by my colleague Basab Nanda!

What I want....

Ask yourself. What do you want from your life? I know this is a very difficult question to answer.

Recently I have been asking this question to myself. What do I want? This is as difficult as knowing my own self. The day I realize that this this and this is what I actually want, I will consider that day as the day of half realization. I mean the battle of knowing myself will be half -won.

When I try to gather my thoughts and ask myself what makes me happy, I really find that am a very common type of person. I want love, I want money, I want every trifle things of material life. Most importantly, I want my own identity in the society.

As an average Indian woman, as a mother, as a daughter, as a sister, as a wife, as a lover, as a friend, as a daughter-in-law and other in-law status…I am making a list of my wishes on priority basis.

1. I want all my near and dear ones to remain healthy, content and peaceful.

2. I want my own identity and independence.

3. I want to fulfill all my duties in different roles with love, dedication and sincerity.

4. I want to achieve one extreme in my life time. It can be any one of the following: Love, Power, Money, Spiritualism.

5. I want to see my son grow up as an ideal human being.

6. I want to get more and more love from my husband.

7. I want to know the mystery of the Universe.

8. I want to know more and more

9. I want to stay beautiful as long as I live.

10. I want to stay active as long as I live.

11. I want a beautiful world full of love.

This is my wish list till now. May be this will shorten or may become longer as I grow older and gain more experience.

Serial Blast Rock New Delhi Markets!

Thank God! He saved my brother, relatives and friends in Delhi. I thank God every day cause He is keeping us safe and alive. But then in our country we can die any time any moment. We were waiting for this to happen in New Delhi, and it happened. Nothing could stop it.

The Indian Mujahideen militant group, which says it has carried out several major attacks in recent months, sent an email to local television stations saying it was responsible for the blasts.
Police and witnesses said two went off in dustbins in and around Connaught Place, a shopping and dining area popular with tourists and locals in the centre of the city. Others exploded in busy markets around the city, within minutes of each other.

The Indian Mujahideen email talked of nine bombs. Police said they had found and defused three bombs.

The deadliest attack in recent years came in July 2006, when seven bombs exploded on Mumbai's railway system killing more than 180 people. In July, at least 45 people were killed after a series of bombs ripped through Ahmedabad. The attack came a day after bombs killed one woman in the IT hub of Bangalore.

And we failed to prevent the attacks. Prevention is better, as there is no cure to death....
