Mostly a failed own mind reader.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The pages are in absolute disarray, chronologically ,emotionally as is natural in these cases.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;X&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The last two night’s I became horribly changed person so much so,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I removed all clothings ,still felt hot and claustrophobic. Made a lot of nuisance on the attendant but she calmed me down.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;At about 1 am wake ever night , up after along nightmare and feel I have been abandoned in this hell hole alone and a strong suicide wish takes hold…I try to find a way…find none…i feel I am left alone after &amp;nbsp;Suraj…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Terrible feeling take &amp;nbsp;over, about 3 am to 4 am go back to sleep.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I can never stop hearing people talking, they never stop……mostly Bheema my youngest brother&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and my sister &amp;nbsp;whispering.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The problem starts when these threats start to get me in the waking hours too. I suspect some one is spying on me, even when at the office desk, extremely uncanny &amp;nbsp;belief, the drum in side my chest starts beating, I even suspect such brutes are there at my doors and &amp;nbsp;windows to break in …. terrible feelings which I can not confide …as long as Suraj was&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There I atleast could tell him everything, though all such attacks come only because of odd behaviour of him &amp;nbsp;only and aggression from in-laws… now there is no Suraj , no aggressive In laws but I am afraid I would go into that horrible state of mind any time if I am put into hostile and uneasy company.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Y&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I know&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I know I have a weird strake in me and that I can distinguish between the two.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I can not sleep alone at night scared stiff of some kind of assault…black shadowy figures take shapes &amp;nbsp;out of nothing… out to destroy me..,, but the day I meditated desperately to Suraj mingled now &amp;nbsp;in infinite consciousness to be by my side in the dark, I feel his presence….few days before I tried to analyse my belief logically and I knew I was completely wrong and three nights before , in the middle of the night the Black scary shadows came back taking shape on the window curtains .I knew I have to accept my queer self and the absurd belief that I am always protected by some unseen force.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The fact is I do not see any harm in believing in my dual identity.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Z&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I hear voices talking when alone in my flat. Moment I come out of my room they stop talking. Very very distinct and &amp;nbsp;audible.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I guessed the male voice was your Dr and that you were discussing how bad is my case.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I can not sleep alone. When my elder sister got married I (I was 17 y) had to sleep alone in my room. Resulted in anxiety , trauma and insomnia ) and I was prescribed sleeping pills.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After &amp;nbsp;Suraj I am sleeping alone but luckily I always feel he is there in the bed in my sleep and even after that…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Last night Peter my tom cat, was in my bed but we were not talking (Peter was naughty) and I definitely felt another cat &amp;nbsp;too sleeping by my side.It was so real that waking up I &amp;nbsp;searched for the cat in my bed realisation came late and was scary.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My husband Suraj was a senior friend of my daa’. Daa admired him tremendously n always used tell us how strong ..how brave etc ….how my daa was protected from the big bullies…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I started admiring Suraj &amp;nbsp; n married him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The day daa committed suicide by cutting his veins and hanging himself from the ceiling fan.(it must have been quite difficult) some one from the neighbourhood came and announced…. I ran then and there &amp;nbsp;barefoot and crying but his body, as I was told ,had been taken by the police.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It is strange that I really could not accept his death and thought he might be alive and suddenly come back, I secretly thought that if he really died ,he will comeback in a ..someone somewhere…absurd I know.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I now realise I kept him alive in my husband in many ways which I never realised, but today I think I finally lost my Daa with my husband.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thanks for helping me realise the truth….&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Finally that I have lost them both&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I have no one to turn to…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;no roots….&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;B&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thanks&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The new drug has done world of good to my mental state.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;One thing worries me that this is kind of drug I used to take long back. After my bro committed suicide….I made a mess of my life..did/could not pursue studies after completing MA…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I have gone into trauma, suicidal,hell of an existence…. which with Gods grace and medical help I tackled somehow.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I am going through melancholy which is natural after He (my husband)expired.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A constant undercurrent of helplessness,apathy and physical discomfort which comes with this mental state was &amp;nbsp;difficult to overcome with no one to understand..,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thanks a lot Doc but I am worried about the side effects as I already find the fluffy ness of my face coming back.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I have witnessed almost the whole lot of my family members going through mental illness which could have been handled sympathetically keeping them at home but &amp;nbsp;had to be sent to mental home periodically with their condition worsening, &amp;nbsp;horrified that how they ,the ward boys, would come in the morning and would not serve breakfast to the patient to be administered electric shock and ( from my bro who was so soft ,intelligent and loveable) gave him strong drugs and he became drug addict….. These memories still haunting me I want to forget.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In later life I found almost a shadow of my dark nights in the famous novel and movie “One flew over the cuckoo’s nest.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;XXX&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;analyses of my present state of mind came very clearly and so I think this medicine is not bad for me after all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;YY&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;(A)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My reasons to thank the Doctor who unknowingly dug out…my reasons for being alive,happy and enjoy life as long it is….&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;((An extremely odd reaction from deep down my consciousness haunts me&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;These days I am happy and relaxed like ,distant past, dozing off to sleep even after lunch ; but I wake up with a jerk as if I am going into the unknown oblivion …death…again again and again. Some force pushing/pulling me ….&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There is nothing no-one for me…my utility for being alive is over.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My utility …my service is no longer needed. There is nothing, no one but my pet that still needs me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Is there really any use to be alive being a burden on others!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Haven’t achieved any one of my dreams, to search for the cause of my existence, my aspirations to pursue the meaning of life and death but I am the luckiest soul on earth to realise that love is not only physical &amp;nbsp;it transcends life and death, space and time.

SpiceJet and harassed travellers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a Dark time for all in India and the whole world.&lt;br /&gt;
I know we should be patient and let the nation find ways to curb this corona menace.&lt;br /&gt;
We, my husband and I, both stranded in Puna, Maharashtra, from 11th February till date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We booked our flight at SpiceJet four times and had to cancel due to Corona Lockdown.&lt;br /&gt;
It was ok with us. But we again booked on SpiceJet for 29th May, that flight was unceremoniously cancelled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are in aged and retired and I have a heart patient. We came to Pune to visit our married daughter from our home town Kolkata. I did not bring my medical file containing my angiography documents as we came for a short visit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now I am really sick and must reach Kolkata and see my doctor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have been continuously appealing to WB Gov.,Centre and SpiceJet to consider our case and let me book another file which is in their coffer but no reply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hv boarding pass&lt;br /&gt;
Bggage tags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They would not refund nor allow to use our money with their credit shell&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

It is so strange that such a well known online seller should cheat a small customer like me. I ordered some items and got them right time and they were all on COD terms. Then unfortunately I &amp;nbsp;started ordering prepaid items.&lt;br /&gt;

Water Crisis&lt;br /&gt;
Santwana Chatterjee&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have bought the latest model of water purifier of Eureka Forbes .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
((It is another issue that this costly machine stopped function twice within a week after installation and the company principally do not replace a diffractive product after installation but repairs only))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What I want to describe next is an extremely serious issue&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This water purifier has the capacity of holding six litre of purified water so that we can any time take a glass or a bottle full of water and no need to keep bottled up water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So far so good, but the moment we switch on the machine ,unfiltered water starts to flow and the machine starts purifying and this purifying process takes about thirty five minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But there is a point here for every body to note that for this full thirty five minutes a portion of water considered to be not fit for drinking comes out from its exhaust pipe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For getting six litters of purified &amp;nbsp;water more than six litres &amp;nbsp;of precious water is thus wasted. Can and should we afford that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For my side, I have started to channel this water to bottles to be used for other purposes but for that I have to be there and monitor that black exhaust pipe is not displaced as is often the case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I ask all sensible persons to give their opinion on this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is the question of future of our earth&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
The rising sun in human form&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
It was around February -March 1980 when I was going through
a very bad&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Patch in life. My husband was unhappy with his work place
and started drinking so much so that it seemed he was going the &#39;alcoholic&#39;
way. He became so thin that my heart came to my mouth whenever I looked at him.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
One day he vomited blood and the doctor said “either quit
alcohol or ....you know what&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I was at my wits end , there being no one that I could turn
to. I was an orphan from my childhood and my grandpa reared me up , gave love ,
affection and educated me. I was very good at studies and finished my Masters
in Philosophy and was preparing for my Doctors ( PhD) when Grandpa fell ill and
decided to marry me off.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
My dream for a PhD in Philosophy was washed away with my
tears as my in - laws were against it. My grandpa died a few years after my
marriage.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
None-the-less my married life was a happy one with a loving
husband and lovely cute daughter.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
My husband developed the drinking habit later and due to
excessive drinking, his health, career and friends started dwindling. My in
laws started blaming me though I saw no reason for it. We were running short of
money and every month ours dues at the local grocery shop increased to my utter
embarrassment.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
At last I started to look for a job but none came in my way
as I was already thirty and I had neither qualified to be a school teacher nor
a college as both posts needed specific degrees after finishing Masters, so I learned
typing and got a typists job and felt like committing suicide.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
In the meantime our daughter was blooming into a beautiful
flower and we Managed to put in a well know English medium school.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I , myself was an avid reader, both English and Bangla literature
; but to my dismay my daughter never showed any interest for reading Bangla
books so I had been presenting her with a children&#39;s Bangla monthly magazine
&#39;Kishore Bharati&#39; for years together.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
One day I found she had not even touched the pages of any of
the magazines and they were dumped at one corner of her room.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
My husband had become an alcoholic, I was drudging as a
typist, my in-laws were angry with me for no fault of mine, we were constantly
in debt, so much so that friends started avoiding us. My grandpa was no more
there to console me.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
It was my daughter&#39;s birth day. I told her pick up all the
copies of the Bangla magazines, put them in a bag; every year you get gifts on
this day , today you will gift these to children who have nothing , no parents,
no proper food, no proper dress and no proper place to live.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I heard of Mother Teresa and her Home for destitute children
but was not sure about its location but vaguely remember somebody saying it was
near the Kalighat area near the crematorium.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
After some- search we located a non-descriptive room on the
side of footpath on the door of which there was a plate with inscription
&quot;Nirmal Hriday&quot; (sacred heart)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
We stepped in and inside it was cool and dark.&amp;nbsp; A man was sitting on a chair and he greeted
us with a smile.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
We told him about our mission and he said home for children
was in Hazra Road and pointed to us old and sickly skeleton like bodies lying
on the floor , there were about twelve men like that. On one side of the room
there were concrete bath tubs.&amp;nbsp; He
explained mother picked them up from various parts of the street of Calcutta(it
was not Kolkata then) all most on the verge of death, hungry and with all kind
of illness left by the society to die on the street.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Mother had made arrangement for them to sleep on rugs on
clean concert floors, they were bathed and fed by the helps who were once
picked up and saved by Mother. They were offered food, medicine, a place to
sleep and loving care of Mother. The home runs with money received as doles for
the cause.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
The doorman said I was picked up by mother once when I was
lying and dying with tuberculosis on the streets. Mother took me and cured me ,
fed me and touched me with compassion and I started feeling like a human being
once again. I have pledged my life to Mother and her cause.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
As per his advise we left the books to be taken to the
children home by the Sisters who visit Nirmal Hriday twice every day.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
We came back with a feeling of witnessing God&#39;s handiwork
and were overwhelmed with gratitude for being alive,&amp;nbsp; healthy with a roof on our head and food in
our mouth.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I realized how lucky we were and also how selfish. I do not
know how but soon after the visit my husband decided to quit drinking and I
took him to my doctor uncle who helped him in his effort. Now he is a
teetotaller, my daughter an engineer and I retired from the same organization
as an Assistant Secretary;all because on the darkest hour of my life I had witnessed a
rising sun in a human form.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;&quot;&gt;I wanted to self publish my favourite poems for children and contacted a relatively new publisher 24by7&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://publishing.com/&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;publishing.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I am sure saint Valentine , if alive, would happily agree with me in this regard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;&quot;&gt;So today , I would beg of Him to give&amp;nbsp; unending power to make the last day happy and painless for my niece&amp;nbsp; Mantu&amp;nbsp; , who is in tremendous pain both physical and mental, with fourth stage cancer, suffering terribly , knowing her days are only numbered.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;&quot;&gt;Whenever I talk to her and her mother over iphone and see each other in &quot;face time&quot; my heart breaks into thousand pieces and feel like crying out loud but I remain quiet and show I am cheerful and know she would survive , with some miracle drug.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;&quot;&gt;Mantu asks &quot; Mashi&amp;nbsp; please pray for me&quot; yes dear of course I say.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;&quot;&gt;Mashi I want to see you- and I smile and say of course dear we are going to meet soon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;&quot;&gt;She stays with her mother in New Jersey and when she says &quot;Mashi I would like to come to India and meet all my cousins&quot; I almost gulp down &amp;nbsp;my tears.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;&quot;&gt;Now that I am supposed to get every power to make some one I know to have the greatest ball on this Valentine day, I would chose Mantu and like the fairy God Mother make her look as beautiful as I have seen her before cancer, make her wear beautiful dress like Cinderella, and make her enter the most gorgeous ball at New Jersey City.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;&quot;&gt;People will look at her and wonder who the fair lady is, eligible bachelors will fight with one another to have a dance with her and the best of the young men will get a chance to look at her eyes and Whisper &quot;I Love You&quot; , a word she has not so far heard and will never hear again. The evening will pass&amp;nbsp; like a dream and Mantu will forget everything about her illness and look into the young man&#39;s eyes and say I Love You too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It has become a past time for men of all age and from all backgrounds to molest or rape women . In a crowded public place, public transport and ofcourse on lonely places.Tthis has become a menace and is growing uglier day by day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I remember once when I was young and was travelling in a crowded minibus , seated cramped up at the back seat. two gentlemen sat on either side and on my left side an elderly gentleman was sitting hunched up and tightly clutching his briefcase on his chest. After some time I felt something hard pursing against my left breast and I tried in vain to move and thought it must be the edge of the briefcase and I looked down and found that the lousy old man was stealthily touching my breast with his fingers hidden from others behind his briefcase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I always react instantly without giving a thought where I am ,and thankfully my stoppage was coming near. I looked at the man and shouted, It was your fingers that were touching me! I thought it was your briefcase. What a same, you old hag, doing such nasty thing in a crowded bus. I warn you, don&#39;t ever dare to do this in future. I said this because, both of us boarded the bus together from the starting point at our place in Lake&lt;br /&gt;
gardens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then I looked around and saw pairs of disapproving eyes of the fellow male passengers on me, trying to say, how unladylike like and that too, to a elderly man; as all men tend to believe that women react on flimsy ground on touching them unintentional on a moving and crowded vehicle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then their disapproval turned to first disbelief and then to a glare when they looked at the gentleman in question. The lousy man was trying to pacify and silence me by gesticulating with putting &amp;nbsp;his fingers on his mouth. His fearful expression and begging eyes exposed it all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it was a good thirty years earlier. Now a days they do it &amp;nbsp;before all and if any girl try to object they just leer and jest or on worst case molest her farther.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Have you ever thought why the society is going down hill so fast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I can only ask the girls, would be mothers and mothers to teach their sons to respect women. Even one boy tought &amp;nbsp;is a step forward&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;Recently I received an e-voucher for INR 500 from baggout.com for as a gift for a write-up. I was so happy and went to flipkart home page. I have been buying for flipkart.com for quite a long time and always found them prompt and easy to purchase.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;But this e-voucher made me run from pillar to post in the web to buy something of my choice and always coming back to a stumbling block which says this voucher is only applicable to the WS retail seller. I wasted four days searching for WS Retail stores and then for something to buy with 500/-. It was such a frustrating experience that the joy of winning the e-voucher just vanished and I decided to forget about if. But then I came across an article which expressed exactly what I felt and I give below the link and also the a copy of the article just to warn my fellow bloggers not to fall into this trap.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;But I must say the baggout people were very nice and have agreed to send me a cheque instead.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #f8f8f8; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: &#39;PT Sans&#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;

You might know the WS retail is flipkart’s own seller (flipkart itself). Flipkart evouchers/gifts are applicable only on product whose seller is WS retail. When a person goes to Flipkart to buy something, it is because there is a clear intent to buy something ( that item of interest). Or let us, for the sake of argument, say that a user might just browse the flipkart website to see if there are any good offers or something new has come up, which one might buy. So, we agree, irrespective of the which case one fits into, that it is the object or “thing” that one is focused on and not the seller who is gonna ship it to you.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
With that case in mind here are the problems:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
1. there is no way for a user to search for a particular product AND shipped by a particular seller. So what I have to do is look for a product and then go through each of the product description to see who the seller is. Coz’ if I want to use the flipkart gift card or evoucher I have to make sure that this particular product of interest is shipped by WS Retail. This is a pain.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
2. By the time you go through all the product details to find that particular item shipped by WS retail in particular, one is fed up and forgets about the item of interest. And starts looking for a way to access all the items sold by WS Retail, perhaps one might find some items (that WS retail ships) that might of interest to him/her. But there is no way to browse all items by a particular seller. Again, a pain.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
I wanted to buy a cycle helmet and a tupperware lunch box, both are available but not sold by WS retail. So I couldn’t user the flipkart voucher. Now I’m in the mode of searching anything sold by WS retail (even if it is of no use to me) to use the gift vouchers on.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
It has been a terrible experience trying to redeem the “flipkart” evoucher on flipkart!! It would be fair to name it “WS Retail voucher”!! Flipkart evouchers are&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_elephant&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: purple; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;white elephant gifts&quot;&gt;white elephants!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Alice came out of her wonderland, wiser, happier and
exhausted. Oh mom what a dreamland it was, so full of excitements, I have
started missing it already, she put out a hand to her mother, can you take me
somewhere more interesting !&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Of course dear, said mom.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Mom, you are kidding,&lt;/div&gt;

No dear I am not. Mother took &amp;nbsp;Alice to her bedroom and
opened the cover from&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; a brand new
computer. She clicked and&amp;nbsp; a screen
appeared dancing and blinking&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
At the age of sixty plus most
people say there is no use in going for further study. Without going into
controversy I would say, if there was a course on ‘Personality grooming and
etiquette’&amp;nbsp; I would ,even at my ripe age
of sixty six, go for &amp;nbsp;, if there be any opportunity,&amp;nbsp; further study in UK, of course if found
eligible . As I am not much acquainted with Universities abroad, I would like
go for either Oxford or Cambridge, as these two names carry with them aroma of
the British &amp;nbsp;magnanimity and&amp;nbsp; aristocracy .&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
I was born in 1948 , in
independent India which still followed the British culture in general life.
British are known for their modesty and etiquette, though with a stiff upper
lip, I still long for the goodness morality, and ethics infused in people in
British period. My Grandfather was a typical British product which I admired a
lot. He did not shout&amp;nbsp; while reprimanding
juniors, he possessed enough&amp;nbsp; courage and
strength of character and as a General Manager of a Brick Factory in the
Santhal area, was revered and loved for his tough but just stance and I am sure
he had a lot of British culture in him. British people are known for their
justice.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
I would not say that I was in
favour of the British rule and want it back, or that I am not proud to be a
citizen of Independent India. But I think with independence Indian people did
not get proper rulers, proper education proper food, clothing and most
important respect. The rulers and ruled alike lack proper knowledge and
culture. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Grandapa was extremely punctual
in keeping time for any appointment, very much a British culture.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
I would often see Grandpa waiting
for the right&amp;nbsp; ‘Time’&amp;nbsp; fully dressed up and ready. If he arrived ten
minutes ahead of time, he would stay outside and call on the person n the appointed
time. I learned a lot from watching him.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
If you ask me why do I long for
British culture, I would answer, independent India, especially in West Bengal
there is no culture at all, either British or Indian. India is a place ruled
for several&amp;nbsp; hundreds decades by
several&amp;nbsp; rulers.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
The lack of any ethical or moral
education our children are going downhill along with the society. Politics has
ruined the moral and mental health of a generation of people badly. A political
party has erased and taken out all moral and ethical values, that they
considered old and back dated , but failed to put in new values. Our society is
therefore full with young people arrogant, insubordinate, &amp;nbsp;puffing into their elders face and calling it
courage. There is no regard in our society today for elders and women, which
pains me a lot. They do not follow Vivekananda nor&amp;nbsp; any other religious teachings and knows only
one thing :how to break rules and how to make their parent shamefaced.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
They kill, rape and loot, they
children of well educated and affluent families, as also the vagabonds.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
I know I will not be able to
teach all of them or bring about a change in the cultural level, but I would
still want to educate myself with the best culture of the world (it is my
personal opinion) and cleanse myself with the rots and filth with I get with
everyday newspapers and television. I would like to educate as far as I can ,
the young people around me the values of modesty, etiquette and morality.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Of course I have no use to take
it to the burning-ghat with me, but would try how little it might be,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
To teach children I come across,
the value of discipline , uprightness, , etiquette, modesty and ethics.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
If only we could make our
degenerated society turn into a Utopia.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

pujas among which Mudiali was declared as best puja that &amp;nbsp;year. They went pandel hopping in the morning
as at the evening time there would be tremendous rush and it would be difficult
to drive the car and the children would need escorts lest they were lost in the

extended into quite late in the night. The children were allowed to stay on as
almost all elders in every house in the&amp;nbsp;neighborhood&amp;nbsp; were awake and watch it. Last night it was
fun as the many parents and &amp;nbsp;elders performed a drama which they rehearsed
during the a long period and the drama was a comedy and everybody enjoyed it
very much.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Nabami morning the children walked round the neighbouring places and &amp;nbsp;watched puja pandels and idols all by
themselves. All of them wanted to make most of the pujas , offering prayers (
anjali) to Durga Ma in the morning , pandel hopping after having lunch at the
para puja, &amp;nbsp;during the Durga Puja no one in the neighbourhood cooked at
home , as almost all women in every house remained busy with puja work community
lunch and dinner were cooked for all residents and it was such a fun having
lunch and dinner together and the Prasad , which consisted of khichri, sabjis,
paisiom and sweets. These prasads and other food cooked in the pandel always
tasted divinely palatable. As if a very large joint family were having food
together , the taste and the feeling was so unique that even if these were
prepared at home by the same women for their own family&amp;nbsp; it would be a &amp;nbsp;far cry from the community food.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Suddenly Bhulo started to growl in a low voice and gathered himself up on all
fours. It was obvious that Bhulo had sensed or smelt something wrong.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The children looked in the direction that Bhulo was facing and found a strange
man, unusually tall, walking with a limp in the opposite direction. They could
not see his face but watched that man was wearing a chequered blue half sleeve
shirt and rotten jeans. They also notice that he had a head full of orange
hair, very odd indeed. &amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

to calm down and all four of them started following the man, automatically &amp;nbsp;without consulting each other. Suddenly the
man looked back and the face had a terrible scar on its left side. The stranger
looked back&amp;nbsp; quite a few times to make
sure that no one was following and walked for quite a long time covering a lot
of lanes and by lanes &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;and suddenly
turned left. During the Durga Puja festival the whole of Kolkata and even whole
West Bengal, are lighted up with grand decorating lights and music on the air,
people come on the street, by car, by bus or simply walk through the street to
enjoy the grandeur. At the evening time sound of Dhak&amp;nbsp; , smell of incense lighted by the people
dancing before the deity &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;mesmerises the
people in all the Puja grounds . Everybody wares new and shiny cloths, and
everybody seems happy. And nobody cares about what others are doing.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The children kept a distance and Rohan said &amp;nbsp;&quot; &amp;nbsp;the man is walking towards the
Devil Tower!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

said’ Bablu you go back with Bhulo you are too small for this expedition’.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‘Please didi take me along I will not make any noise I promise’. There were
tears on his young innocent eyes. Pinky said okay everybody let us prepare ourselves
for a tough journey. Devil tower itself is a devilish place and a satanic man
is going to enter it. Everybody cross yourselves and pray to Ma Durga , come
what may we will not be scared and will not backtrack&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Now devil tower was dilapidated bungalow type building with windows and doors
closed. There was a huge place &amp;nbsp;at the back which must have been a garden
once upon a time but now the garden was covered trees and bushes and creepers,
a mini jungle as it appeared to the children&amp;nbsp;
.The rusty iron gate at the right side of the building must have been
built by the owner to let the cars to be garaged. This passageway however was
relatively usable than the building and its unkempt garden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pinky and her gang sometimes visited the building and peeped into the rooms
with plasters completely gone and cob webs dangling everywhere but they went to
the only during day time.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
That afternoon they stopped at a distance to guess at which direction the
stranger had gone after turning left. The narrow lane went some distance as
a&amp;nbsp; dark&amp;nbsp;
dirty water body, covered&amp;nbsp; with
dried &amp;nbsp;leaves&amp;nbsp; and garbage and water plants fell on the left
side, it was a breeding ground of mosquitoes, people said there were rats and
may be snakes too, as this water body had no owner , at least not known to the
people living nearby, even Pinky’s dadi was not ware about it. The water body
ended at a distance and the devil tower stood blocking the lane.&amp;nbsp; It was a blind lane On the right side of the
lane there was a huge empty ground rounded off by brick barricade to thwart
trespassers. And during the grandeur and light of Puja this place remained dark
and deserted. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

the steps to the back door they found marks of fresh footsteps embossed on the
dirt.&amp;nbsp; Simultaneously Bhulo gave a snarl..
&amp;nbsp;They quickly went and hid behind the thorny bush. A sturdy man came out
and looked here and there and said there is nobody boss it must have been a
stray dog and went inside. The gang froze with fear and asked sternly Bhulo
shhh.,&amp;nbsp; Bhulo who was all alert and tail
wagging looked down with tail between legs.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

sure I heard voices and looked around and stopped looking straight at the bush
and said ‘ look Srikant don’t&amp;nbsp; you&amp;nbsp; think there is something behind that bush.’
Srikant laughed and said check you power boss that is only the shadow; who
would come to this goddamned house. &amp;nbsp; ‘&lt;br /&gt;

Boss said, should you put a lock here also, don’t you think that it might draw
unwanted attention. After all we are new here and have locked the consignment
inside. &amp;nbsp;Srikant seemed apprehensive and
with a smirk jerked his shoulders and said “as you wish Boss.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

and looking for a particular address. The children sat there huddled even ten
minutes after they were gone and then tip toed up the steps and went inside
looking for a locked door.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

other and found nothing suspicious until they heard the faint bark of Bhulo
upstairs. Though it could not be seen from outside the building had a room up
the starecase..&amp;nbsp; They&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; quickly went up and found Bhulo barking
from behind the closed door. They were baffled, how could Bhulo go inside a room
locked from the outside. Oh my, exclaimed Tukai look there is a window. They
all ran to it and got the shock of their life, Bhulo had entered the room
through an open window. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;&quot;&gt;Day light was
fading and it was already dark inside the room but they could easily figure out
that four children were sitting on the floor with their back on the wall;. They
opened the door easily as it was shut by only a&amp;nbsp;
latch from outside. As they came nearer they saw four children were
huddled together with their mouth gagged and hands and feet tied. They looked
terrified, hungry, dirty and dishevelled. Pinky and friends &amp;nbsp;hurriedly took out their gags but the children
did not make a sound. When goaded by Pinky and the group they opened their
mouth. &amp;nbsp;They were from poor families in villages and they had been
handpicked by the duo with a promise to provide jobs at big cities. They had
also given some money to the hapless parents as advance salary.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The oldest among them was a girl about ten , who said that these two people
were crooks and they were going to sell them like cattle to strangers. Already
two children were sold to an Arab but the sheikh did not want to by the reaming
at a time as that might&amp;nbsp; raise suspicion.
A small boy held out his palm and there were fresh marks of burn made by
lighted cigarette butts, a punishment for crying out loud.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;Pinky stood up and said don’t waste any time we
must run for a safe place , the captives were extremely nervous and though they
were free of the shackles they wobbled while trying to stand up and take a step
or two. &amp;nbsp;They all started towards the door and their stood the man with
orange hair; he had a gun in his hand pointing at Pinky. The sturdy man also
had his gun pointed at the children.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;Surprised! Said the Orange head &amp;nbsp;with a smirk. You thought you would outsmart

, said boss we have got special food to offer to the Sheikh, they are fat and
ripe and would fetch a fortune. The two men laughed a menacing way &amp;nbsp;there teeth showing , body shaking but &amp;nbsp;there was no sound coming out.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;Srikant call up Rehman, tell him about the new

that their kids are missing. We should make the deal by 8.00 pm. &amp;nbsp;The
concert programme at the puja ground will be over by 10 pm. &amp;nbsp;So they will
find about the missing children by half an hour later. &amp;nbsp;We should clear
out of this place by 10 at the latest&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background: white; color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;&quot;&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;He listened to the person at the other end and

said no talking, no sound, forget and get a slap as reward and laughed his
soundless laugh. Tear drops started falling down his chubby cheeks and he wept
silently while Pinky sat down and comforted him and noticed a bluish red mark
on her brothers, &amp;nbsp;cheek and glared at the villain.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;The man took a step forward at thundered- look
down you bitch, don’t ever show me your red eyes or else ... &amp;nbsp;He did not
finish and put the nozzle of the gun on her forehead. Bablu clutched at his
sister, Tukai and Rohan came closure and guarded their friend.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;The two men found it funny and punched each
other playfully but did not take away their guns. He again put his gun on
Pinkys forehead and said Jhansi ke rani eh.. Where are your soldiers ... These
monkeys/? and pointed to her friends. &amp;nbsp; Strangely Pinky did not feel
scared but felt anger and humiliation boiling inside.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

yourselves brave- you are like rats who come on the sly, and slap children’s
.Ma Durga will destroy you. Anger overtook her fear and she stood erect and
tried to take away the gun from his hand. There was a scuffle Pinky surprised
the man and a shot went out of his gun and hit the window pane broking the
glass as he fell down on his back.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;Pandemonium broke out , children started running
helter smelter, the noise reached out side, some passerby’s stopped and looked
here and there to find origin of the gunshot. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

orange porcupine and I have stepped on it’ for a second there was pin drop
silence in the room, then all the children started laughing pointing at his
head, bewildered the villain touched his head and it was as bold as a cricket
ball, the orange wig was on ground and children started running and jumping on
it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;The Orange Head was furious and lifted Pinki up
by her hair and slapped hard and shouted at his mate- Srikant finish her off, &amp;nbsp;but
as Srikant did not answer he looked back and looked straight into the nozzle of
the gun police officer Ramakant Sing pointing at him. Srikant had already been
caught and hand cuffed by the second officer. Bhulo came running and jumped at
the fat man and surprised, the gun fell from his hand.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

friends took Bhulo in their laps and gave him a thousand hug.and &amp;nbsp;Bhulo put his tounge out &amp;nbsp;licked them and smiled a happy smile.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Navami Puja there were four brave children who dared to catch two very
notorious crooks that were connected with child trafficking gang and helped
police to catch and bust their nefarious activities without thinking about
their own safety. With their help four poor children from rural Bengal were
freed from their clutches and would be handed over to their parents. The puja
committee jointly with the police are presenting bravery prizes to them and
proposing their name for Presidents bravery award. It is a fitting act on the
day of Vijoya Dasami, the day of Victry of good over evil.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

children, now clean and with new dresses danced with delight,&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;But we have not mentioned the bravest and
cleverest of the gang- Bhulo. If Bhulo did not come running from the devil
tower and insisted the police officials should follow him, by pulling him by
his shirt sleeve and guided to the devil tower, we might have lost our
children.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

At First The Police Officer wanted to ward off Bhulo, as he tore his new shirt
by tugging at it, but constable Ramdin recognised him and told “Saab, something
must be wrong, I know this dog and his master. “ and convinced the officer to
follow Bhulo, and had to run hard because Bhulo kept running at a high speed, looking
back now&amp;nbsp; and then to be sure that hey
were following him.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;Everybody cheered and clapped while Rohan, Pinky

and new and shining ball to play with.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;The children cried Jai Ma Durga and the whole
ground full of spectators shouted Durga Ma ki jai. It seemed the spirit of&amp;nbsp; good souls cried together and the sky and air
joined to hail&amp;nbsp; the Devine Shakti, which
prevailed over evil.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;For may be 6/7 years I was feeling intermittent pain
in the chest &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;followed by heart palpitations
but the local doctor assured me that the pain was due to acidity and palpitation
due to anxiety prescribing antacid and mild sleeping tablets’ he doctor every time
took ecg test . report of which was normal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;On first and &amp;nbsp;second February, 2013
&amp;nbsp;nights the pain became acute accompanied by breathlessness. &amp;nbsp;At
about noon time &amp;nbsp;next day, i.e 4&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;
February I realized the excruciating pain could not be due to acidity over and
above I was almost chocking with breathlessness; my husband immediately tried
to take me to some renowned hospital but I realized I could not survive more
than ten minuets and he took me to EEDF (Sree Aurobindo Sevasadan) quite well-known
health care centre in our area.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;The ordeal started immediately. I was asked to sit
on a chair while they started completing their formalities with my husband. I
was gasping for air sitting helpless and (almost a scene from. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Munnabhai
MBBS&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;) some sensible soul &amp;nbsp;ordered to take me to the ecg room and
there i was forced to lie down while they were &amp;nbsp;preparing me for the test,
with all the strength i sat up and pushed the dumb head but another fathead
came and tried to pin &amp;nbsp;me down the bed - how could they complete the test
with me struggling and in a sitting position foxed me even in my desperation.
Any way I was again moved to the reception room and I cried with all my strength
- I am dying .I can not breathe. for gods sake give some medicine&quot; and
some one put two pipes in my nostrils and carried me to the ICU where despite
the chill I started perspiring profusely and the resident doctor exclaimed -you
are soaked in sweat you should have come earlier .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;That night the doctor came looked through my
patient file and started filling the goiter on my neck with gleaming eyes
instructed his junior to make an usg of it. &amp;nbsp;Immediately despite my poor
health condition, &amp;nbsp;I protested and explained
I am under treatment of a specialist. &amp;nbsp;The
doc argued some more and left my cabin. That evening usg was done of my abdomen
and lower and upper abdomen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;Next morning doc told his junior to make a radio
active scan of my thyroid gland and again we had an argument and he gave a lot
of unpleasant &amp;nbsp;lectures unsolicited
advices and . I asked my husband to instruct the doctors not to interfere with
my thyroid gland which is under an able hand.&lt;/span&gt; He said that he did not
whoever advised me whatever, according to him – the thyroid gland should be
operated immediately.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;The doctor also declared I was fit and now should
be transferred to the general ward, where I found an extremely narrow cot
covered with dirty and torn bed sheets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;On the third day they remembered that doc also
instructed to make an echo cardiogram and luckily the nurse said the doctor &amp;nbsp;who does it was still present in his chamber.
The doctor was not a female but to my utter embarrassment the nurse opened my
shirt - echo done the doctor seemed worried and I asked was there any problem
with my heart and he said yes and i would tell your doctor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;Doctor came that day in the evening and as usual
went through my file and declared that as I well enough and&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;should
walk in the corridor for some time. I asked when would I be released . He said
&quot; considering the extreme pneumatic and serious condition of my lung
atleast another week . unless of course if I could make a hospital like
condition at home (sarcasm). Then I asked &quot; &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;doc have u seen my echo
report&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;?&quot; And he was surprised ‘&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;was an echo made and when and
where is the report&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;’. I pointed to my patients file. One look at the
file he started shouting where are your earlier echo reports and wont take my
word that it was never done. And shouted at me - bring all your earlier prescription
of your general physician and I asked- “ if you let me I can go home and bring
them. “The glum doc instructed his junior to star giving me medicines for
giving vig lasix . cardece etc and left in a huff.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;I called home and asked to take me to any other
hospital. My daughter in Singapore already asked her father to take me to belle
veu clinic and the next morning they asked EEDF to release me and by noon I was
wheeled in to belle veu clinic. I felt like I have come from hell to heaven.
the doctors nurses, all staff are so caring and efficient. That evening they
again made ecg, echo cardiogram and chest x-ray.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Next morning the doctor informed me and my
husband that. I went through a heart failure because my heart cannot pump more
than 32 % while normal healthy heart should pump 72%. That very morning they
made an angiography and informed my heart muscles have become slack and it is a
condition called “ dialated cardio myopothy , Grade III mitral regurgitation “ and
there is chest infection which can not be called pneumonia by any stretch of
imagination. Now I am under their treatment and released after three days but
have not given fit certificate and with bed rest instruction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

come there for treatment but are treated like rats and ginny pigs and fleeced.
I had to pay thirty thousand+ for their incorrect diagnosis horrible emotional harassment
by the doctor.&lt;/span&gt; Our society is full of poor &amp;nbsp;people with little education and lacking in
courage to oppose hospital doctors , who&amp;nbsp;
they look upto as their saviors . Who do not know how to protect themselves
from this wolves, who would not flinch to take all your organs and&amp;nbsp; money out if it suits them.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white; color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;I saw him walking away with long resolute strides, unknowing and
oblivious of his shadow , of golden pink of the western sky, permanently
&amp;nbsp;lighting my being, the mist of a winter evening &amp;nbsp;clouding my eyes,
the soft scent of PARIJAT (Flower of Paradise) blocking anything unpleasant and
my heart &amp;nbsp;was crying with ecstasy - I am in love, I am in love , I am in
love.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;I gazed lazily over the fresh green leaves after
the sudden rain, the long winding path that vanished with him, filling me with
acute longing bordering &amp;nbsp;on pain- and I
the sky, the trees , the birds all crying in unison- you are in love, you are
in love , you are in love.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;You are here and i was looking all over the house-
i looked back at my husband , the boss in office and home alike, where is my towel
I am getting late- how funny , how ordinary and how awfully smug, &lt;i&gt;the towalia lao&lt;/i&gt; type.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;But strange was my response even to myself ,as I
found myself smiling at him with indulgence and went back into the confines of
the four walls more as a caring mother than a wife.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;Yes, ten years of our marriage was fruitless, Mohon,
being the successful business man head over heels in love with his work, his
day and night devoted to Lakshmi and Ganesha, happy and content to have a
pretty wife competent to run the house single handed. &amp;nbsp;And I Sarita was
happy to be the mistress of a grand villa at the outskirts of kolkata, a well fed,
well looked after ornament in it. Apart from business Mohon was also a dutiful husband.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;I was busy looking after my villa, my terrace, my
garden and my ornaments and never piped into my heart, my thirst for a violent
love, drowning me into the strong currents and waves of the rough sea, satisfying
my emotion and imagination. I sighed at the rainbows on the distant sky ever
expanding and infinity, i was mesmerised with the buds on the bushes happily
blowing itself into a flower, i marvelled at the birds for being eternally
happy to sing at the world, the eternal love that Nature was filled with.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;I failed to pick up the poetry book on the mantelpieces
and just dusted and put it back in its place, i looked more into the television
at the unending and tiresome serials than at the landscape outside- in a word I
was tuning myself into machine –the ideal house wife.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white; color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Last week when Mohon started for his business tour of one whole month, I
looked into his book case and was startled to find in such a poor state, dust
lairs have blocked the cover page, one by one I turned the leaves and in horror
found the words being eaten by worms. I picked up a hard cover book with the
title “Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained”. It was a book gifted by father when
I was still a school girl; I wondered how it intruded in to Mohon’s bookshelves.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white; color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;My mind went back to twenty years
when one day father came home with a pink book in hand and came to my bedside,
I was down with jaundice and bored and lonesome as I was confined to my bed,
away from my school, friends and siblings. Sarita, always remember there is
nothing like a good book for our companion, when lonely and bored. Child, I
want you to develop an interest for reading good books, anything from poetry,
novels, journals, anything to occupy your mind and brain from being vain and
shallow.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white; color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;I shied and searched the selves for books, good books and thus I met Parijaat.
Thank you baba I said.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Parijat
came with all his strength and weaknesses- with all his sense of beauty,
laughing at the worldly thing; he came like flood and washed away my loneliness,
bitterness and apathy. He took me by my hand and together we toured the world
of poetry, filing my days with his benediction of Tagore and Shakespeare, of
Sunilda and Shakti Chatterjee, Wordswoth and Keats &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;hand in
hand we entered into the world of Pagla Dasu and Alice forgetting our advancing
ages, and &lt;i&gt;Nischintapur&lt;/i&gt; , laughing and
crying with imagery.&lt;/span&gt; Parijaat took me in his bosom and I cried after a
long dry spell, which melted the ice grown hard and cold and blocking fresh
winds from the wonderland. Alice was as loving and forgiving as ever, and Dasu
as funny. How could I have forgotten you all , amazed at my own clumsy ways, I
took Parjat by hand and ventured into his Nischintapur, a place where the age
stops growing at twenty seven, where nothing matters so long you are &amp;nbsp;true to yourself, eternally peaceful and
poignant with possibilities, a place&amp;nbsp;
next to Heaven.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;Our nights we spent together seemingly two but
body and soul we were the same. For a whole week he stayed with me, singing and
dancing along, looking at the mirror for an eye-catch, for our eyes could never
meet. For a week we ran with the breeze, we drenched ourselves in the rain, tugged
along together in the desert wind and embracing each other as if there will be
no tomorrow&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white; color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Parijat opened the door of the gigantic cage of my collection of
precious and rare birds, I was proud of and a must see to all my guest. Are you
sure, they can still fly, I was hesitant. Let them die in freedom rather than &amp;nbsp;live a life in captivity, is &amp;nbsp;all he said.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;We were standing together on the portico
-expecting Mohon back any time from his tour , a month has gone in a flash, savouring
the last moments together. &amp;nbsp;I looked inside my heart and bed him goodbye,
he came out and stood in front with his back facing me, I must leave you and I
laughed nervously and cried - must you -can we not stay together? I knew we
cannot- he is part of me- he is a fragrance of Parijaat the flower from
no-where , he can not stay with a businessman and his dutiful wife and her
proper ways.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;So he went away with my imagination but instead filing
me up with Love, where there is no body , no &amp;nbsp; entanglement no bindings&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white; color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;I laughed and cried with ecstasy I have found my
Love and my whole world laughed and cried - you are in love .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;&quot;&gt;MAA (a tv serial running for years in Star Jalsa) with ALL &amp;nbsp;its actors is quite old now but the imbecility of the makers is growing STRONGER AND STRONGER. I am really at loss, how can a so called family with retired judges and lawyers and others educated persons have not heard of a DNA test. It is shamefull to see people of our educated society to be so naive as to accept a bride who is switched in between the marriage and still accept it is as legal and are totally&amp;nbsp;unaware&amp;nbsp;of the law of the land.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;&quot;&gt;
It is further awfully sadistic to continuously project a child who was kidnapped , going through all shorts of tortures even by her own family, who refuses to accept her as their own and use her first as maid, then hand her over to the police as a thief &amp;nbsp;and lastly while the grown up girl finally finds a reasonable , intelligent and loving forster mother , to force her to opt out of the grand marriage that her forster mother arranges for her in the middle, and sneak in their own child.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;&quot;&gt;
All through the serial had been a mental torture to the viewers, mostly children (including my own grandchild) and uneducated mass, including my own helping hand who comes from the slums.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;&quot;&gt;
These BLOCK HEADS should be taken to task for polluting our society with wrong notions of ethics and morality. As it is we have more illiterate viewers in city and suburbs who take it as acceptable .&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;&quot;&gt;
In a bid to carry on with the show, they project weakness and submissiveness to wrong doings as an&amp;nbsp;attribute&amp;nbsp;and take the child, now young girl, almost to the alter of godliness in her abject submission to&amp;nbsp;coercion , wrongdoing ,&amp;nbsp;blatant misconduct and lies . It appears that they are tryin to send a message girlchild/woman should sacrifice and sacrifice and suffer in silence to get a GREATEST WOMAN award from the society. It is absolutely disgusting. &amp;nbsp; I am really worried of the future of the children of our society, who might accept &amp;nbsp;it as heroism and true, just like our by gone era of &amp;nbsp;satidaha and&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;perverted notions of the IDEAL WOMAN by the&amp;nbsp;patriarchal&amp;nbsp;society.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

We should teach our child that no character is&amp;nbsp;ABSOLUTE&amp;nbsp;BLACK&amp;nbsp;OR WHITE. &amp;nbsp; We should encourage and help them to determine what is wrong and what is right. &amp;nbsp;The majority of our society is below poverty level and they do not have much luxury except a community tv to watch. We are duty bound to educate them through media .&lt;/div&gt;

The media is responsible to send right message and educate people and not mislead uneducated people and children to become victim of intellectual pollution.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
After the &lt;b&gt;Amri fire&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;arrest
of the Directors&lt;/b&gt;, who belong to the elite and rich business class, media,
controlled by businessmen have taken a pole-vault . It is so sudden and so
obvious; it does not call for much intelligence to understand the altered
scenario. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
But the fight here is between the
elite and the non-elite, the rich and the not so rich, between the educated and
net savvy and illiterate, between the well-fed and the hungry , which
constitute the majority population in &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;West Bengal&lt;/st1:place&gt;,
thanks to the previous Government.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Mamata Banerjee has made it a
habit to offer comments on serious issues without checking out the veracity.
She, for her own benefit, should refrain from speaking out before going through
the facts.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
When the &amp;nbsp;then Chief Minister Jyoti Basu remarked off
handed and callous, “ why did she went there and so late in night’( &lt;b&gt;oto raat
a okhan a jai &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:city w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;kano&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;?)&lt;/b&gt;
&amp;nbsp;referring to the heinous, brutal.
Infamous and fatal rape case in &lt;b&gt;Bantala&lt;/b&gt;, the reporters just looked the
other way, because they were scared stiff to protest. Both the lady and the
culprits belonged to the same political party.&amp;nbsp;
And now that democracy rules the State and&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; we are free to judge and comment on any
matter whatsoever, the media look for the mistakes only. People out side the
State and also out side &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;India&lt;/st1:place&gt;
are fed with the news that influential media houses prefer to serve them with.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
They cry hoarse that government
libraries are not keeping some particular papers but they never mention
that&amp;nbsp; during the left rule, only&amp;nbsp; three party controlled papers were being
purchased.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
They are so concerned about
Damayanti Sen, that perhaps even her family will fall behind in the race; that
they are shouting every day to misinform people of West Bengal and outside,
that She had been unfairly transferred for the good work done in the Park
Street Rape case, presuming at their own sweet will that she did the good job
against the wishes of the Government, that fail to mention that she has been promoted
along with other IPS officers (60 ) and&amp;nbsp;
transferred to other departments, which is the sole prerogative of the
Chief Minister.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
It is a sad affair, as people of &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;West Bengal&lt;/st1:place&gt; , has brought her in. They are looking up to
her for development, which touched the nadir recently, to take the poor and
illiterate mass towards new highs. The media houses are &amp;nbsp;looking after the interest of&amp;nbsp; a handful of rich and influential&amp;nbsp; and not the mass. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
But&amp;nbsp; we should be happy that such people are fewer
in number and can only try to malign the present Government with malicious news
feeds and articles. But the truth will prevail and the common people of &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;West Bengal&lt;/st1:place&gt; will win .&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

My young friends, by this time you must have become familiar
to &amp;nbsp;Pinky and her&amp;nbsp;myriad&amp;nbsp;adventures
with Tukai, a friend, Babloo ,&amp;nbsp;her little&amp;nbsp;cousin&amp;nbsp;brother and Bhulo,
the famous pet dog. &amp;nbsp;To day I would rather tell you&amp;nbsp;specifically&amp;nbsp;about
the adventure of her pet Bhulo, and not of his master.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;&quot;&gt;
It is necessary that I give you a background on Bhulo. Exactly
a year and half ago, Pinky found a squeaky and shivering little puppy at their
garden gate, in the wee hours of a winter morning. The poor puppy, it seemed, was
left there by some cold and unkind soul all by itself, alone, hungry, shivering
and scared. It was a cute little puppy with soft brown hair all over the body
with only a patch of white on its forehead and ears, with
black&amp;nbsp;marble&amp;nbsp;like eyes and a pink nose. Pinky picked it up in her two
soft palms and cradled it to her warm and kind bosom. It was love at first
sight on both &amp;nbsp;sides. The puppy was given both a name&amp;nbsp;Bhulo and a
home, was taken well by the members of the family and was added as one of them.
But Bhulo took to Pinky as its master and would always follow her, wherever she
went. Bhulo was a spoilt and naughty puppy and often got scolded for mischief.
Bhulo seemed to like it that way and did not try to mend its ways.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;&quot;&gt;
Pinky and her family lived on the outskirts of the city of &lt;st1:city w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Kolkata&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;, at fringes of
the city to be exact. The lane on which their two stories house with a small
garden stood, was named Duttapara . It was an old locality , the families were
known to each other as the children grew up together more as a joint family.
Most of the families lived there by generations together and though they were
not poor,&amp;nbsp; some of them were quite well
off, but there was a very strong and healthy fellow feeling amongst them. They
celebrated Eid, Christmas or the Pujas as if , all belonged to the same
religion, same conviction, same faith. On one side of Pinky&#39;s house lived Tukai
with her family and on the other side there was a posh big&amp;nbsp;bungalow, the
occupants being rather snob putting- their- nose- in the air- type. The family
comprising of&amp;nbsp; the father, mother and a
twelve year old son, moved in the locality about six months back. Others in the
homely and friendly neighbourhood , after one or two efforts, stopped trying to
be intimate and kept their distance, much to the relief of the &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:city w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Roys&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;, as they were called.
Mr and Mrs Roy were seldom seen in the open except getting in or out of their
car. They had a son about twelve years old, who was not allowed to mix with the
middleclass children in the locality, who attended a &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:placename w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Public&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placetype w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Boarding School&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;
some where which the people of the locality were not aware of. Nobody even knew
what was the name of the boy and he was avoided by all and sundry, during the
long holidays, that he used to spend alone in their huge and well decorated
bungalow. The children of the neighbourhood, including Pinky, Tukai and Bablu
also kept a safe distance, afraid of offending the ultra rich..&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;It was a warm June afternoon, the schools were closed for
summer vacation and Pinky, Tukai were playing Chinese Checker. Pinky was way
ahead ahead of Tukai, with four of her red pieces already in the opposite
triangle. Bablu, who was watching with eager eyes, cheered her every move.
Bhulo was sleeping curled up on the divan. Tukai was getting irritated, as she
was sure to loose the game and suddenly &amp;nbsp;said “I am not going to play,
Bablu is disturbing me ; he his your brother and cheering you only and
distracting me. It is not fair” Pinky realized it was true and scolded Bablu mildly.
Keep quiet bhai, you are hurting Tukaididi , and why don&#39;t you play with Bhulo
instead. But where was Bhulo? They all realized that the culprit was away, to
one of &amp;nbsp; its naughty adventures. Bablu was sent to find out what the dog
was upto and Pinky and Tukai again concentrated on their game. A
few&amp;nbsp;minutes&amp;nbsp;later Bablu came dashing in, he was flustered and
panting, white in the face and could only utter come come save Bhulo. Pinky,
Tukai and Bablu went running outside, Bablu led them to the back side of their
building just outside the kitchen window their stood Bhulo and Tommy. Now you
must be asking, who is this Tommy.? So let me give a short introduction of this
one eyed fellow. Tommy was the&amp;nbsp;villain&amp;nbsp;and the hero of the neighbourhood
cats and dogs. It was a mean and cruel tom
cat,&amp;nbsp;viscous&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;ferocious&amp;nbsp;, clearing away all its rivals
from his hunt for food. In the beginning it had to fight a lot to establish its
supremacy and in the process lost one of its eyes but it was successful in
cowering down all the rising rebellious tom cats before him. The lady cats
looked up to him as a hero and gave it a lot of adoring and respectful look and
ofcourse the tom cats hated him.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Bhulo in his own, was an extremely friendly dog and all
loved him for this and he had an easy access to every house in the neighborhood
excepting the &lt;st1:city w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Roys&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;,
next door. But he was extremely jealous of his territory and would not allow
any sort of intrusion in the form of&amp;nbsp;
birds or animals. He would bark away the crows that would like to sit and
create nonsense on the bushes in the garden. He would bark and chase away any
cat, that would dare to enter any part of the house. Tommy was so long watching
Bhulo with his mean eye and contemplating an attack. That day Tommy entered
their kitchen through the back window and was just landed down with a big piece
of cooked fish in his open mouth, when Bhulo confronted him. Bhulo was angry
and barked at Tommy in a bid to chase him away. A livid Tommy, visibly angry and
disturbed turned to face Bhulo. when the three musketeers&amp;nbsp; reached the spot they found, Bhulo was
crouching embarrassingly scared, with his ears and tail down and Tommy was
standing with his back raised like an arrow, with hairs standing erect and fangs
and nails out , slapping and scratching Bhulo with a paw. Pinky picked Bhulo up
and Tukai gave a good hard kick to Tommy and three of them trouped back
silently into the safety of their room. Once inside Pinky let Bhulo down on the
floor and all three of them glared at him and cried in unison. .”Shame on you
Bhulo”. Bhulo crawled under the divan and refused to come out even in the meal
time. It was about six months back.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;It was now December and schools are closed for Christmas.
On a cold December afternoon Pinky and Tukai were playing Snakes and Ladders,
with Bablu, as usual, watching with interest and Bhulo curled up on the divan
basking under the sun rays coming through the window. Suddenly the three
children realized that Bhulo was not in the room. Sensing trouble the three
rushed out of the room and searched the garden, but to their dismay Bhulo was
nowhere in the house or around it . Three of them ran to every house in the
neighbourhood, knocking them out of their afternoon siesta and asked about
Bhulo. Every one expressed shock and a good many of them advised to keep Bhulo
under chain. Some one said he had seen a corporation pick up van clearing the
street of stray dogs. As they never put collar on Bhulo, their heart sank and
ran back home to the elders. Monima went to the nearby Corporation office and
asked for the address of the dog squad , but came back disappointed, as Bhulo
was not to be found there either. That&amp;nbsp;
evening gloom descended on Pinky’s house, every body came asking for
news of Bhulo, Pinky and Bablu refused to take dinner, and went to bed crying
and their hearts broken.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Unknown to them Bhulo was chained and gagged by the big fat
bully son of the &lt;st1:city w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Roy&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;’s.
The &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:city w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Roys&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; had a
pussycat and it had given birth to three cute kittens recently. Bhulo was not
at all friendly with pussycat and always went after her whenever he found the
opportunity, much to the ire of the big fat bully son of the &lt;st1:city w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Roy&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;’s. Now though Bhulo was not friendly with
the pussycat, having a kind heart, the dog became friendly with the kittens and
would often play with them, unnoticed by the two families. The mother cat,
sensing affection in her foe, allowed him to play with her little ones. Today
also when every body was busy playing and watching snakes and ladders, Bhulo”s
sharp ears could catch the playful noises made the kittens on the other side of
the building. He came out and sniffed and stood watching affectionately his
tail wagging, the kittens playing with a ball of yellow wool. The big fat bully
son of the &lt;st1:city w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Roys&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;
noticed him from his bedroom window and quietly came out with a biscuit laced
with sedative. Unsuspecting Bhulo took it gratefully and soon fainted on the
ground. &lt;st1:city w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Roy&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;’s
son put a collar on him &amp;nbsp;and dragged him
to the back of&amp;nbsp; their&amp;nbsp; garden. He taped his mount with a big piece
of cloth and chained him to a tree and came back to his room satisfied. That
day went by with poor Bhulo shivering and hungry and scared, suffering silently,
as his senses came back. The three children, their family and everybody in the
neighbourhood were extremely unhappy and prayed for the safety of good old
Bhulo. Next morning when the three kittens were playing outside, they chanced
back to the garden and found Bhulo lying silently. They were too young too
understand why Bhulo was silent and lying down. So they came near and started
to paw him to wake him up. They looked at his eyes and found drops of water falling.
Some how or other these tiny creatures realized their dear friend was in
trouble and suffering. They crawled up one by one and tried to tear the cloth
that tied their friend’s mouth. Their soft noises attracted pussycat to the
scene and she joined in their Endeavour to free their friend It was a heavy
task for so tiny kittens and their mother, but God must have helped them in
their effort and soon Bhulo was able to bark, and he let out a deep distress
call, howling with all his might. His howling came as music to the
neighbourhood, the tree children, their family members and all present in the
neighbourhood came running and found a heavenly picture. Bhulo was chained to a
tree and the three small kittens caressing him lovingly with their mother
standing in guard.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Pinky rushed towards Bhulo and loosened the chain giving
some relief. The crowd howled together for the culprit. Mr and Mrs Roy came out
and was surprised to find a huge crowed in side their compound and&amp;nbsp; called for the darwan. The gatekeeper who was
aghast to find out the dirty work of the big fat bully son of his master had
let the people come inside and he narrated the incident to them. The parents
now felt ashamed too and called out to their son – “Rohan, immediately come
outside”. The bad boy was hiding inside but had to come out hanging his head in
fear. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Pinky’s Didu was the first to speak &amp;nbsp;“look here boy, you are a human being, but you
acted like a mean and cruel beast and put this poor dog to so much torture for
your vain pleasure. And these little kittens and their mother are considered as
God’s lesser creation; still they have a much larger heart than you. You should
be ashamed of yourself.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Monima said “ How could you be so mean, being such a young
child”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;The neighbours said “ you should be punished for what you
have done”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;When Mr Roy started to scold his son, the Tukai’s uncle &amp;nbsp;stopped him and told him that &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;“ Look here Mr Roy, as parents it is your duty to rare your
son as a good citizen, a kind and noble hearted person”. You two are always
busy with your work and socialization and do not even spend a day with your
only son. You do not how he spends his time all by himself during the holidays
and&amp;nbsp; do not even allow your only son to
be friendly with any child of the neighbourhood. What do you think your son
would do the whole day after school and on holidays, naturally he would do all
sorts of mischief as he feels lonely and left out. Our children did not even
know what your son’s name is until now&amp;nbsp;
and they call him in unflattering names. You should teach him what is
wrong and what is right. If you let him keep a cat, teach him how to take care
of animals, tell him that it is essential to be kind to animals.” For everybody
knew that even the pussycat stayed in their compound, the boy, instead of being
kind to her, always played dirty tricks on her.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;When everybody was talking, personnel from the local PS
arrived and charged the &lt;st1:city w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Roy&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;’s
for cruelty to animals, which is&amp;nbsp;
punishable by law. The &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:city w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Roys&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;
apologized profusely and promised to keep an eye on his son’s movements and
also that no such incident would happen in future. The policeman called Rohan
out and said if he made thirty sit ups holding his ears before everybody, he
would let him go this time only; otherwise he would take him to the local
police station. Rohan was really scared and Rohan came down timidly, held his
ears and made thirty sit-ups to everybody’s satisfaction.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;From that day on Rohan also became a member of the gang of
three, as they were affectionately called&amp;nbsp;
and that day was always celebrated as a day of Feline Kindness and all
cats and dogs of the locality were treated to a grand feast of milk, fish,
biscuits .&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
