Why only Nudity?

Recently read an article on Maqbool Fida Husain (M. F. Husain) , where it was written ‘a famous Qatari artiest of Indian origin’.
Mr. Husain became famous in India by making few nude painting of Indian god and goddess, and now feels proud to become Qatari citizen, all though he earns all his fame in India. He has no right to hurt Hindus sentiments by making such kind of painting which Hindus usually do worship. Why he did not make any vulgar painting of some other caste or his mother or daughter? (For his detail work plz visit http://bit.ly/drTQYl)

He is not belonging from any Hindu caste, nor did he do any kind of worship to God Ganasha, Goddess Durga, Parvati or any respect to Bharat Mata. Then he has no right to molested or show his opinion for Hindu God and Goddess towards public. It is said that an artist has right to show his opinion or his views through his art forms. Mr. Husain; who never performed any kind of Hindu rituals, how did he expressed his view such a way of vulgarity. Then there will be a time come when the artist of pornography movie will come in road and ask for publicize their work, because as an arties they also have rights. Did he see any naked figure of God or Goddess?

In the same time our so called scullery parties did not stand with Taslima Nasrin because she writes which is seems to be against Muslims. But it is not possible all are wrong, there is truth. There are an enormous number of Hindu families in the Bangladesh, who are regularly molested by Muslims fundamentalists. Instead of giving support to Hindus in Bangladesh we stand against Taslima Nasrin as she seemed to be anti Muslim. And in India stand with Mr. Husain on the basis of right to freedom of speech or expression. When Taslima comes in India, fundamentals Muslims through items, knife on her, ‘fatwa’ released on her name. So, if ‘Shiv Sena’ does the same thing with Mr. Husain, then he is being well judged.

If somebody goes to Konarak temple in Orissa, there it can be seen that there are stages of sculpture in the top of the temple. The 1st stage is the sculpture of animals and humans in sexual posture, when it goes up there are changes, and characters of those turns in to good form from evil. It is told that our mind is in the bottom of stage thinks about the sex and others which is a manifestation of ‘Tammo Guna’, then it reaches to high position to ‘Raja Guna’ and then at the top it achieves ‘Sattya Guna’.

Mr. Husain is still in ‘Tammo Guna’ or the lower stage of mind; hence he can do only the nude painting of Hindu god and goddess. Whereas there are many people from different counties, different caste come to India to immerse into the Indian Culture, her Shiva, Durga, Swarasati, Ganasha,…………….

ICICI make me fool

My policy No. was 010975606 of ICICI Prudential, Health Solution.
Mr. Mihir Sanghavi (9820778743) of Mumbai, Gatkopar branch made my policy, his boss was Ajay Negi.
At the time of discussion he told me that the premium of the Policy is Rs. 10000. out of which around Rs. 4000 will be deduct as coverage for 3 L Heath Insurance and rest will be made fixed at 9.5% interest. At the time of policy Mihir did not disclose that it is going to be some different. I believed on him, and purchased the Policy. Then the policy paper was sent to my home town in Kolkata. At the time of policy I am told as the max amount is going to invest in FD so i can get back the rest amount even after one year tenure. If He told that I have to continue it for 3 years like any ULIP plan, then I thought some thing different.

Now when the policy covered one year, i went to ICICI Branch, and I am told that it is under ULIP plan so if I need my money back, then I have to continue it at least for 3 years. Which is not my expected result.
So, requesting you please do not buy any ICICI Prudential policies before thoroughly check.

The Japanese Wife

Director: Aparna Sen
Actors: Rahul Bose, Chigusa Takaku, Raima Sen

Yesterday saw the movie "The Japanese Wife" in Prachi, Sealdaha.
The story is fine but very slow.
Snehamoy castes by Rahul Bose is a Arithmetic school teacher in Sundarban, and Miyage castes by Takaku runs a shop in a Japan. They were pen friend. Both of them do not know good English, so found letters to express their voice with the help of dictionaries. Like this way they got married. By means of their custom Miyage send a silver wedding ring to Snehamoy, and Snehamoy send one pair of "Sankha" made by conch shell and "Sindur" red powder to put in the top of forehead by Bengali wife to the new bride. Miyage used to send gifts, photos and on the occasion of their 15 years of marriage she send a box full of beautiful Kites to Snehamoy. There is a character of Sandhya acted by Raima Sen. She became widow in very early stage. She came back with her only son to stay with Snehamoy aunt.

Like this way the story progress, at the end Miyage's mother passed away and she became alone, in the mean time she got attacked by cancer and go back to Yokogama her brothers home. After knowing the pathetic news of his wife Snehamoy takes 6 months leave from the school and started to visit Homeopathy, Unani, Allopathy to discuss about his wife's health, and consequently send Indian medicines suggested by doctor's to Japan.
One day while coming back from Kolkata after vising a cancer specialist he got ill, after that his health did not turned around and Snehamoy lost his life.
After listening this Miyage come to India, Sundarban from the long way to Japan to see her Husband's house and memories.
In the last moment she was in a complete Bengali widow attire; white Sari, shaved head and sankha in her hand.......

Alas! In India I am not a Muslim.

Recently I have read an article in “Ujjiban” a local RSS print media about the expenditure behind ‘Haz pilgrims’ by Indian Govt. In the year 2009 there were around 1.67 Lakes Muslims went on ‘Haz’ their most sacred pilgrimage. Indian Govt. (UPA) spends Rs. 16,000 each on airline expenses i.e. around Rs. 267 Core as subsidy and with others facilities. This is to show the sympathy towards the Muslims community and collect their votes.
( A recent article in India Today, April 26, 2010 published " The Haj subsidy to Air India, touching Rs. 941 corore for 2009-10, has always stood for a darker shade of minority polities.)
But in the same time when we go to “Gangasagar” a Hindu pilgrimage in West Bengal we have to pay extra taxes i.e. as Tirtha Kor or Jijiya tax. In that time the traveling cost get enhanced. Giving an example for crossing the river which is usually near about Rs. 7, the Pilgrims have to pay Rs. 40 and Rs. 5 extra as Religious tax. Why not we are subsidize like Muslims and get free from religious taxes. Yes; agreed there are expenditure to set up Gangasagar mela and all, but Govt. also earns money out of it.
This year I went in the Gangasagar and was the eye witness of this religious bifurcation. It seemed to me that we are in the age of Aurungzeb, when he kept earning his revenue from Hindues by putting Ziziya tax.
When we called India is Secular country than why there are facilities or subsidy for a particular community. The nasty vote bank polities are everywhere.
How to raise our voice and stop to misuse Hindu’s sentiment?




Bharat Mata ki Jai

After a long day meet

Today When i was coming from office to Belgharia, suddenly i meet with Koushik Sarkar (kosha). We meet last time when we left our college in 2002. Last month i went in his home in Cuttak, even he helped me alot to get ticket for Howrah. But that time he was absent. I meet with his Parents, wife.
That time he guided me to visit Lingaraj Temple in Bhubeneshwar.
He is nice and helpful friend.

SADA BARI........

Brothers the Sada Bari or White House is situated few k.m. away from Kolkata and this is nick name of the administrative building of Ramakrishna Mission Students Home, Belgharia, Kolkata.Viewers, sorry I am not here to make a documentation about the RKM Student Home, but share my past experiences, which are covering for all the time no matter where I am. (Ramakrishna Mission Shilpapiha is polytechnic college under WBSCTE, which is sister institute of Ramakrishna Mission Students Home. Here I have completed my Diploma in Electronics.)

It was an usual day in college and some boys came in the class room to inform us about the VSC classes, which is held on every Monday on Tiffin hours, some sadhu will take the class. The group came that day, I knew few of them, because earlier we had an introduction session which I mean to say soft ragging. This is for information, 2 boys out of the group has become sadhu in Ramakrishna Order.

When I chose the college in counseling, I thought RKMSTH will be a college run by sadhues like others institute say, RKM, Narandapur, RKM Rahara etc. You find there are nos. of boys who has keen aspiration to study in such kind of institute, surely to get good environment for study and others nourishment which can make them perfect human being. Fortunately I was not from amongst socially established family who get good knowledge to run their kith & kin in a right direction. Because if so, then I am not able to get in touch with missionary activities in a different, so humble and down to earth ways.

Sorry, I am shifting from my goal……., fortunately the teachers, principal were not sadhu, so that would be my first chance in VSC class to interact with a sadhu to get knowledge about them. Before join the class I was hammered to listen some unsocial activities of mission and asked to get away form them. But during my last 9 years of experience I never come across such kind of things, I don’t know why people guess and through any comments upon them, it is true with all the religion communities.
10.04.08, During college days this was a habit to be a WT (with out ticket) and travel in Local Trains. This habit was grown from my college, because by the virtue of the student of City College or any college in Shealdha area like Bongabanshi College, Surendranath College, Scent’s Pauls College, we the students feel happy to travel in Local Trains as WT. The concept was like that the govt. took consolidate amount of money from our fees, so we should feel proud to travel in local trains in Shealdha division (I don’t know the situation in Howrah Division). So let the Local Trains as your own properties (baap ka mall) still you are a student in Calcutta University, and if found any problem then just tell to the T.T, who u are (rail montroker dara chhattra der kach thake onnai bhabe ticket amdani manchhi na…….. manbo na…….., Chatra Porishod porichalito amader dabi mante hobe, mante hobe………….) I don’t think I brought tickets more than 5 to 10 times during my 3 years studentship in City College. All though I had to walk a lot to save my pocket money also, from shealdha to city college it is nearly 2 k.m. distance.

Disappointment: In Mumbai I seldom get such kind of thing which can “chakka jam” the city.

Our college was just adjacent to Student’s Home, and one day afternoon I went inside, along with one of my friend. That was my first entry in side the mission through Sada Bari (original name Vivekananda Dham), You will feel great to see the views when ever you enter in the student’s home, there was a big pond and there is the Temple just on the opposite side where now are standing. If you turn your face 180 D left and Right you see there are 3 dham’s each on your left and right, and back the white house.

12th January, the National Youth Day, we gather in centenary hall to celebrate swamiji’s birthday. There were several programs few of them was Tabla Jugalbandhi by Abhishek-Monzul, recitation by Sourabh Das, some elocution by Santanu. That time the secretary of vivvsc was Atanu da. Debu ( khuni, name given by Subrato oroffe Commred), Saikat da, Gibinda Da (bhandari), Alokesh, Sonjay Da was active members of the group. The typical event in the program was questionnering session by Subroto Maharaj ( he was the secretary of RKM Student’s home and presently transferred to Varanashi RKM Math). The people were given a piece of paper and asked to write their questions in religion or spiritual ground. The moment was wonderful and every body were stunned by listening the speech/conversation by the majharaj. But beg a part, I think there are few common questions in every body’s mind which reflects in the pattern of questions they asked that day, and they asked those few questions in the next year also.

RKMSTH, In my 1st year I had good class metes, among them Sanjoy(bias), Anup, Sumon (boudi), Sourabh (tumpa), Prodipto, Anupam, Rathin (ragg), Dibendu those name I recollect. I have still contacts with Sanjoy and Anup. Sanjoy used to be a good chap and having healthy relationship with all others and with teachers also, he used to be group leader like person, always helpful and full of humor. On the other hand Anup was person of free mind, he always wants to be his carrier in networking, and now he works in Capgamini. Last year he came to Mumbai and I met with him, we went to lokhanwalla for shopping. He present me a shirt, which is still hangs up on the hanger in my room in front of my eyes. A good memento. And Sumon was very studious amongst us and scored top in lateral B.E, now works in IBM. He always busy in study, but good chap. We used to gather in his mess during our exam, he is the only way to help out us given us exam notes and suggestion. Some time I get oppose form those for making close attachment with mission, but always maintain a good relation with both the side, so I did not misbehave, although listing some hearting words, but carry forward them. Last January when I went in Calcutta, me and Sanjoy set together for 2 hours in a coffee pub in esplanade opposite to music world, Anup had to be there but unfortunately absent. Apart from Sanjay and Anpu, I do not have contacts with others.

There were others friends also like Sudipta (DEE, now he is in Mumbai and recently married, seldom we have talk), Dhruba (DEE, now works in GE, Hydarabad), Kushal (DEE), Sisir (DCE, he was in Guwahati, and now probably shifted to Calcutta).




Sada Bari/ White House/ Vivekananda Dham

Back in 2 Retrospectives

Past few memorable years

My School: MODERN HIGH SCHOOL, Park Circus, Kolkata, 1996.

Special Activities: SCOUT, NCC, Campaning, Areo-glyding

Teachers I liked most-Sukhen Sir, Banerjee Sir, Nayek Sir, Sunil Sir, Adhikary Sir, Rittinkar Sir, Sanjay Sir,

(I think we can remember the teachers in our school days better rather then college days, why ?)

In class 9, I did my first school bunk and watched a movie "Guddu of Shahrukh Khan" and then it was not any more exiting thing to me, because then we did the job regularly and see all kind of movies (u know all kind of movies).

The 1 st cigarette I smoke in class 8/9, it was an experience only, I tried Ganja, Siddhi etc also as experimental basic, thank to god i did not tried drugs, koken etc. Really those were the good experience, but i request you don't try.

CITY COLLEGE-Main, Amharst St., Science

I have completed my higher secondary (1998) from City College, actually the result i scored in secondary easily i get chance in good schools, but i did not tried, this is may be of my carelessness, friends told me i did not do better result in City College, but i proved and scored 1st division, you know i got 3 rd highest no. and rewarded in a function. The enjoyable moments were "Sangrila" the college feast, look at the girls from 3rd floor balcony, specially Rammohan's girls, and also the freedom to which one boy can get only after joining a college.

Best Friend: My friend Sumon Sinha, now he works in Bangalore. I miss him a lot, we meet last 3 years back.

Recently he got married, i went in his marriage ceremony in Bangalore.

Disappointment: I took chance in "Scottish Church" but did not admitted.

This from http://sites.google.com/site/amitsaha70/mainpage

29.04.08, 12.00 noon, Tata Steel, Borivilli, in the cabin of Maintenance Head

It is a surprised day to me, which tells, today the world is no longer so big, and you can expect any one at any time.

While coming in Andheri station today, I was suppose to go to Borivili and perhaps going to wards the queue of ticket, suddenly found Joydeep da roaming in the Andheri station. I think; last two and half year back I meet with him, when we both were in the AEC. All of a sudden I thought is it Joydeep da? let me check his face properly, and then when I became sure I called him, perhaps not by name, till I did not able to recollect his name. I called him in the crowed, and he looked at me, surprised, I think overwhelmed. He also did not expect me to meet in the busy station, Andheri(E).

He knocked his mind and scanning my face, yes; Amit the boy from AEC, but Amit how you are here? Well Joydeep da, I am here for lat two years. But what about you……..

Now he has put up in my room (I say kholi, 225 sq feet, Mahada, powai, 3,000/month), at lest he did not have to search for a comfortable hotel to stay in Mumbai for 2 days, which may cost him a lot.

Last year he married with Siewleey, she is still working in AEC.

3 Hours with an IITans

This is a old writing from http://sites.google.com/site/amitsaha70

31.07.08, 2.50 a.m., Mumbai.

Well this was one of my wish to pass a full day in IIT with an IITans. It did not completed totally but partially also. Today it come in true, I spent almost 3 hours in IIT, Bombay with one of my friend, he is doing his Ph.D.


20.08.08

Hi, after a such a long time. This time in ACC Cement for deposit a tender proposal.

Well I was talking about IITans, Yes they all are very rich minded people and knowledgeable. Basic is strong and IIT nourish them to become a genius in it’s own way.

I surprised to see the atmospheres they have given. As a mumbikar it’s really wonderful to see the atmosphere inside the IIT, Bombay. The temperature is at least 3 degree less then outside, and there is no hustle and dazzle like the other part of Mumbai. It is just on the way of Vikhroli-Jogeshwari highway, and it is terrific to pass the road due to high dense traffic. I used to travel for my office regularly on the road, so know the condition. But you will be surprised by the green look of the IIT. It is a nice experience to see the Hiranandany garden form the other side of the Powai lake, which comes under in the IIT.

During that 3 hours I get the opportunity to walk around the IIT. All the facility have been given to the India’s best students like whole day net connection, a plant of collection of text books from the best writers, best faculties, 24 hours lab facility and more. There is no tension for food also, up to 9 p.m. mess are open, but if you are hungry then there are small-small canteen are waiting for you up midnight, those are for mainly post graduate students who use to do there research work till night.

As per a general count the nos. of student for B.Tech are from north India, M.Tech form south India and M.Sc from East India. The campus is full of sports activities like football, cricket, hockey etc. Few months back I came with Sumit and saw the Tennis court here.

Last 2 years I have been attending there annual fest “IIT Techfest”. In 2006 Dr. Kevin Warwich (studies on direct interfaces between computer systems and the human nervous system, although he has done much research in the field of robotics) came. He also demonstrated an experiment on the same. But last year was unforgettable. Last year Mr. Jimmy Wales The founder of “Wikipedia” came and gave a lecture about the new improvement in wikipedia, I really feel great, because you do not get these people live in front of you. And IIT is the one of those institute who can bring them, even I saw one of the engineer of Linux in the same fest. Microsoft was introducing it’s new launch “Microsoft Surface”. The fest was sponsored by Microsoft, Intel, HCC, BMW, GE like big companies.

The interesting part which attracts me that is the collection of data in their intra lan network. Apart from on-line connection each student have shared their hard disk, so if it is approx 2000 students then calculate the size of storage. You can get any thing in the internal search engine which is more faster than google. Mostly all good documtary form BBC or the latest Hollywood/Bollywood movie, plenty of songs what ever you want you will get. Perhaps I was searching Kenny G for a long time, I got but for that I had to pay 400 bucks, which I did not. But it is easily available in the IIT intranet. But this is not the true all the time, there are darkness under lamp.

The good part of this collection is that you don’t need to search for those information for which some body have to pay a lot in terms of time . The information is helpful and enlarge you power of knowledge, overall view. Which is the objective to recruiter an IITans, others wise they are same like others. If a regular students have given the atmosphere like IIT, then he/she can make the wonder.

Apart from syllabus the students get the opportunity to involve in a no. of industrial projects, which use to come to their faculties from different national and international recourses.

So what do you think about your child to be a Professor of IIT or an IITans.



The alumni is very much strong to give the opportunity to their juniors, So, the students do not invest their valuable time for preparation of campusing like other colleges. Big public/govt. sector companies like ONGC, BPCL, DRDO, BARC are searching talents from IIT, but some time the salary package offered by the MNC to these IITans, disappoint them. Actually those MNC do not want to lose there time for searching the real talent from India, so they give a lump sum of package and get the cream of India. I don’t want to name the companies, because every body knows them where an average IITans can get job. But I don’t understand the companies like Layman Brothers, KPMG, JP Morgan, Marine Linc why they recruit engineers where all are the financial consultant companies.

Today end here, now it’s 11.30, I am in my kholi, baki phir kabhi.

I have another friend in IIT, Kgp, doing his research work.
