A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
Of all the stories floating around about Hitler's demise, am completely inclined to believe the one where he met his end in the bunker. That was a lockdown too and he was shut in for an unforeseeable period with a "loved one"...complete recipe for disaster!
A few years ago I was sitting with a bunch of gal pals on a gals' weekend away and we were talking about how our lives are. Essentially the "why" of needing to 'get away from it all'. One of them said (with a sigh) that mornings were quite hectic because: a) the milkman would... Continue Reading →
Today two major things happened. Both were unexpected. Well one was in the offing but it wasnt sure if it'd come off just right and the other was (still is) an out&out shock! The first one is the culmination of many months of tanta and deliberation and quite a bit of taam-jhaam. But it's absolutely... Continue Reading →
A middle-aged lady was killed by her domestic help. This happened on the same road my house is. The proximity made me less anxious than the actual incident which occured. There has been an increasing occurence of people getting grieviuosly wounded or being killed by the people they hire for odd jobs around the house.... Continue Reading →
It's time to bitch about the lil beasties again aka my students.I'd run out of the feedback forms that they fill out after the mock interview sessions.I'd told the bunch to meet me in a while to pick up the papers.The interaction with one particularly bright person went like this-STUDENT-MA'AM, WHAT IS THIS FORM FOR?

I hope a neo-McCarthyism doesn't spring up. One era of his was bad enough.There's... Continue Reading →
Something very distasteful and extremely upsetting was conveyed to me today morning. My aunt is a mathematics professor since the last 30 odds years. She has been teaching in a suburban college of West Bengal (WB) for a while now.She is not just a person whom I'm terribly fond of, she is genuinely a good... Continue Reading →
Management students! BAH! HUMBUG!I don't want to sound prissy when I say this but we weren't like this when we were studying. While being goody-goody DID NOT enter the picture, the level of ignorance, lethargy and the maha lackadaisical attiudes that these people manifest is honestly sickening!!Time management is alien to the majority, sleeping is...

but for what i wonder?sometimes it seems that there are people with entirely too much time on their hands (i've been clubbed in that category at times) and they spend a LOT of time scratching their heads and thinking about stuff that'll cause a dhamaka...ek sansanati leher as it were.onto the dhamaka, of sorts. today's...
