Nandigram..not a gram anymore??
I came to Calcutta a day after a bandh was called and will be leaving a day after a bandh was called to protest against the Nandigram issue. Lot 
of people have been asking me what's wrong with Calcutta and the reason for which the general public and business is being affected. Is it an extended Diwali vacation??
Bravery
Recently I happened to come across this article and I felt like sharing it with all of you. I don’t think many people even know about this incident and at first it may seem to all of us that it is so normal and casual and what is so special about this. It may not be very extraordinary incident and there may be many of similar sorts but then this shows that what wonders such incidents can bring about if dealt with properly.
The right attitude
There once was a woman who woke up one morning,
looked in the mirror,
and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today?"
So she did
and
she
had
a
wonderful
day.
The next day she woke up,
looked in the mirror
and saw that she had only two hairs on her head.
"H-M-M," she said,
"I think I'll part my hair down the middle today?"
So she did
and
she
had
a
grand
day.
That's the way!!
Have you ever wondered how can a person alone make a difference without anybody's help!!!!!!!!
Food for Indian Science Fans!
This is for those who find BARC, DAE and ISRO far more exciting than NASA. :)
Even as politicians and beurocrats are ensuring that the "Poised" nation is dragged down and not really allowed to FLY, there are people who are doing some real good job that should make us all proud. No doubt the Media has their attention focussed on the Communist vs UDA Nuclear Debate, I could find one column that I was very happy to read.
As always, the real workers only know how to work!

SOLDIERS of India's Army of Liberation!
Today is the proudest day of my life. Today it has pleased Providence to give me the unique privilege and honor of announcing to the whole world that India's Army of Liberation has come into being. This army has now been drawn up in military formation on the battlefield of Singapore, which was once the bulwark of the British Empire.

Revolutionary Who Kept Death at Bay till August 15, 1947
Sardar Ajit Singh - the name may not ring a bell among today's youth. Legend goes that this forgotten hero, an uncle of martyr Bhagat Singh, breathed his last on Aug 15, 1947 -- holding on to life till he heard the news of India's independence.
Unfortunately, no one pays him even a perfunctory homage at his memorial in Panjpulla in Dalhousie.

Meeting between "industrialist

I love to work with the young blood. The younger the better:)
Interesting philosophical conversation
Perhaps you would have read this before but still...............
An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty.
He asks one of his new students to stand and.....
Prof:So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Siachen Glacier - Operation Meghdoot
Every time I hit youtube, I start exploring the videos that make your chest swell.. The videos that tell the tales of the India Security forces. last evening I started searching for some videos on Siachen Glacier. I wanted to see what really does on at 22,000 feet where our soldiers live in temperatures of upto -60 degrees. And in my quest to find out more about Siachen, I came across some beautiful videos that add to my pride for having born on this land..
