My last Post

-
My last post was written in Bengali.
I would prefer to write the same in normal fashion straightway on the blog.
I tried but Bengali script could not be written straightway as the required font is not available.
This has created a problem for the readers as they found it impossible to read.
I shall seek advice from the persons who know better and sure to try to overcome this problem.
Meanwhile,I would request you all to take further trouble and just click once on the paragraphs ( there are two paragraphs).The image shall instantly be bigger for you to read comfortably.
I sincerely apologize for the inconvinience caused due to my paucity of knowledge regarding the use of scripts.

I too was wondering how to read this piece. As you have said, a left click on the text did the trick.

You can load the Bangla fonts, but does Blogger support Bangla? If it does, there should be a way of making posts in Bangla.

The story is great, like many legends and folk tales that have survived thousands of years. And you have told the story in a fine, fluid Bangla. With illustrations, your narration will make a lovely children's book.

Raibahadur

Rao Bahadur (also Raobahadur and Rai Bahadur; abbreviated R.B) is a title of honor issued in India to individuals who have performed great service to the nation. Literally translated "Rao" implies "prince" and "Bahadur" means "most honorable." This title was awarded to Indians, both Hindu and Christian. During the British Rule, the Rao Bahadur was accompanied by a medal. The equivalent title for Muslim and Parsi subjects was Khan Bahadur.-Wikipedia Raibahadurs are extinct now. But it was not so even around five decades back. In and around Rashbehari, Bhowanipur and Ballygaunge areas there were a number of mini palatial buildings with gardens at the front behind large wrought iron gates which used to display names of the owners of the buildings prefixing "Raibahadur" . In my early years, while I was in my morning schools I developed the habit of walking around the Kolkata roads most of the day. I could find a number of those build

On 3 rd .January, 2016 I found a foggy morning from the 4 th Floor balcony of our flat at Mecon Tower though with a mild assurance of forthcoming sunshine. I could not hope for good Picnic scheduled on the day. By God’s grace I was proved utterly wrong.  Sharply at 7.45 AM a bright yellow School Bus showed and parked at the gate. Within minutes my intercom rang and I and my better half Jayasree hurriedly came down. She went inside the bus and I, along with some others, was waiting for the desired ones to assemble. Soon all gathered and the Bus started at 8.15 AM towards its destination. Although a School Bus it was carrying passengers who are mostly Grand Parents of School going kids. The destination was Pat’s Cottage at Sonarpur where we, the Ex-Meconians and their families, would gather for the yearly Picnic. The Bus drove through Prince Anwar Shah Road Connector and took a turn towards south after reaching EM BY pass. On the way it stopped at Kalikapur, Satyajit Roy Film Inst

People's Mandate

This photograph which came out in a daily recently reminds that we have less than couple of weeks left to witness the polling to elect the people's representatives for the 15th Lok Sabha.Seasoned politicians are too busy to campaign and hell bent on convincing that they are best suited to do the best for the people.The photograph portrays a well known politician,presently a senior cabinet minister, asking for votes with folded hands from a "Common Man." We can not make out the face of the "Common Man." in the photograph. During the last five years the "Common Man" was not much in the limelight but it is different now.The election is at the doorstep and he is forming major part of the electorate.After all,the democracy is that form of government which is of the people,by the people and of course for the people.From time immemorial, this common man is all that the people means. Since the beginning of the general election in 1952, the politicians approac
