Bewildered!

Bewildered!

People in Waste Bengal including major parts of Kolkata, the capital city, are lost in thoughts and also lost at sea every monsoon. Roads are under knee deep or even waist deep in muck and water or have craters deeper than those on Mars.
Everybody tries to sell its gullible citizens rosy pictures to the extent of "visits to sunny and picturesque Andaman islands for free" (that's what is written in the red billboard)!
They can only 'dream' of a better living condition, while Her Majesty (Mamata) is leaving no stones unturned to be crowned the PodhanMantri (Prime Minister) of India in mid-2019. Period!

* Greatest gift of God to Bengali mankind

Bharati Ghosh, erstwhile IPS officer, West Bengal cadre was unaware of the saying, 'you reap what you sow'!

Ms. Bharati Ghosh, an IPS officer of West Bengal cadre, is the same lady officer who at one point of time during her heydays, was at a loss for words while addressing the media, on whether to address her political supremo, the head of the state and also the proprietress of the political party in power in Wasted Bengal, as Sister, Mother & what not.

Ghosh preferred to overlook the fact that HER HIGHNESS doesn't care a sh** about any of her loyalists.
HER HIGHNESS has a track record of trashing her closest aides like used napkins!

Just because Ghosh stood her ground and did not allow the Ma Ma Ma party to rig the 2016 Assembly Elections in Sabong constituency in East Midnapore district, BJP won by a comfortable margin.

Subsequently, Ghosh was unceremoniously shunted from her position as the Superintendent of Police, East Midnapore district. A large number of police cases were slapped on her. She had to resign from job.

Bharati Ghosh, you reap what you sow!

Here's her recent submission to a TV media channel.

Sources said 10 tonnes of silver will be used to craft the chariot, while the height of the pandal will be around 60 ft.

Behind the viral photo of an Andhra Pradesh cop pleading with a family on bike

Seeing the photo above, you may be wondering why a policeman is standing with his hands folded before people who are clearly breaking traffic rules. The family of five is seated precariously on a two-wheeler and none of them is wearing a helmet.

Clicked in Andhra Pradesh's Anantapur district on Monday 2017-10-09, the above photo has been going viral due to the bizarre juxtaposition of a law enforcer apparently pleading with law breakers.

The policeman in the photo, B Shubh Kumar, the Circle Inspector of Madakasira circle, was on his way to work around 10 am when saw K Hanumantharayudu, the man riding the bike. His sons were perched on the fuel tank, Hanumantharayudu’s wife sat behind him and a woman relative was precariously balanced behind her.

What prompted Shubh Kumar into this expression was the frustration and helplessness of seeing such a gross traffic violation before him right after he had finished an hour and a half-long session on road safety and how not adhering to traffic safety rules could have consequences for one’s family.
Shubh Kumar said that it was frustrating, knowing that we put so much effort into creating awareness and yet people pay no heed to it at all. While I was frustrated, I couldn’t scold or shout at him. I didn’t want to make police evil in the minds of his children, given that the police are already seen by some as harassers of the public.

He also said that Hanumantharayudu was a repeat offender and had been given warning multiple times before.
I somehow had to convey that what he did was wrong! His children were sitting on the petrol tank, there was no chance of maneuvering the vehicle. It was so dangerous! He had put the lives of his wife and children at such danger. So, my immediate reaction was to fold hands and humbly request him to follow road safety.

Shubh Kumar said that he didn't fine the family, and also went the extra mile to ensure their safety when he found out that Hanumantharayudu didn’t have his driving license.

“I was really annoyed,” Shubh Kumar admits, “But they had told us that they were going to a temple. So, didn’t want to ruin their day. I hired an auto rickshaw and sent his wife and children to the temple in that.”

Twitter abuzz over name choice Taimur - Saifeena's newborn son has namesake raked up

Hashtag on social media replaced the traditional five-gun salute from the top of Bhopal's Fatehgarh Fort in welcoming a new prince -Taimur Ali Khan, the newborn son of Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan on 2016-12-20.

#Taimur was among the top 10 Twitter trends through the day with critics questioning the couple why they had named their son after the 14th century invader Tamerlane, who had attacked northern India and killed lakhs of people.

Taimur's birth was announced through a statement released by the couple. "We are very pleased to share with you all the wonderful news about the birth of our son: Taimur Ali Khan Pataudi, on the 20th of December 2016. We would like to thank the media for the understanding and support they have given us over the last 9 months, and of course especially our fans and wellwishers for their continued affection. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all...With love, Saif and Kareena," the statement said.

Filmmaker Karan Johar tweeted: "My Bebo had a baby boy!!!!!!! Am so so happy!!!!!!! #TaimurAliKhan". Taimur could one day become the custodian of royal properties and assets of the erstwhile Bhopal State, currently estimated to be around Rs 5,000 crore. They include some 1,000 acres of land in the heart of Bhopal, where stands the Flag Staff House, the ancestral home which was once a part of the Ahmedabad Palace. "In the last couple of years, the Pataudi family has kept a very low profile in Bhopal. It has been speculated that Kareena stalled the sale of Flag Staff house," said a Pataudi family insider. Taimur is also the name of Saif's nephew.

The Pataudi family is the custodian of the Rs 1,000-crore Auqaf-e-Shahi (royal waqf properties), which, among other things, has rubaat or guest house in the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.

Saif 's sister Saba Sultan is the Mutawalli (custodian) of Auqaf-e-Shahi. In the event of Saba stepping down, Saif can become the Mutawalli. Experts hint that for any of Saif 's children to become the custodian, both the parents should have adopted Islam.

Saif has two children, Sara and Ibrahim from his divorced wife, Amrita Singh.

Old-timers reminisced about the news of Tiger Pataudi's birth when cannons roared from the top of Fatehgarh Fort, now known as Gandhi Medical College. "Sadda miyan jagirdaar was entrusted with the task of firing five times," said Sarfaraz Khan, a resident of Fatehgarh. For little Taimur, cannons did not boom, but a city awaits.

Drunk dad doesn't notice daughter falling off the rickshaw

A drunken father and two associates were arrested on 2016-10-31 for abandoning his five-year-old daughter while visiting Kali Puja pandals at Habra in North-24 Parganas (West Bengal).
The girl was rescued by Habra police after a woman noticed her lying unaccompanied on Habra-Ashokenagar Road and crying.

The father returned home Ashokenagar's Maniktala on Monday (2016-10-31) afternoon.

He then took his younger daughter, a Class I student, to visit Kali Puja pandals near their locality. His wife had gone to visit her maternal home with their elder daughter.

On the way, he met two of his friends and they planned to drink.

The trio went to a liquor shop and started drinking in front of the daughter. Later they hired a van-rickshaw to visit other pandals and took the girl with them. They had also been drinking on the rickshaw when things took an ugly turn. An altercation broke out and the girl fell from the van-rickshaw but her father didn't notice her missing from the vehicle. The rickshaw continued moving forward while the trio continued to fight.

A woman noticed the girl lying beside the road and raised an alarm. The Habra - Ashokenagar Road is a busy one with heavy traffic. Fortunately, no accident happened when the girl was lying alone on the road. The passersby immediately informed the cops.

The police rescued the girl and handed her over to Bandhab Corner, a child care institute in Barasat.

Her father and his two friends were arrested. Later, the mother went to the police station and appealed to the child care institute to get her back.

Police from Habra police station arrested the accused men to teach them a lesson.

Newtown in Kolkata gets its first smart pole

Kolkata restaurant Mocambo refuses to serve dinner to a Mumbai based corporate executive and her driver

Kolkata restaurant Mocambo refuses to serve dinner to a Mumbai based corporate executive and her driver!

"How shallow and inhuman have we become ?

Last night being my last day in Kolkata decided to try out this popular restraunt called Mocambo' at Park Street .I decided to go with my driver -Manish bhaiya here whose great service and care throughout my stay in Kolkata for a week was excellent . ( Also yesterday afternoon he missed his lunch because I forgot to tell him to go for lunch - uncertain about the time it would take me to finish the meeting -he missed his lunch )
Guilty of my mistake . I decided to go out for dinner with him .
As soon as I reached Mocambo at around 8:40 PM . I asked the staff to give me a table for 2.

Staff : There is a waiting of 15 minutes .

Me : *as excited I was to try out this popular joint *happily agreed

Staff :* by this time they observed I was with Manish bhaiya * walked up to me and said it will take 45 minutes for the table to get ready .

Me : *little confused by time communicated *earlier ...now eagerly asked but you said 15 minutes

Staff : yes the table was going to get empty but they ordered for more food

Me : *peeping through the glass windows *but I can see some empty tables inside .

Staff : they are four seaters.. today is Friday we cannot give that table .

Me: ok

After waiting for 10-15 minutes . When I see people who came after me getting the table .

Me : why are you not giving me the table ?

Staff : Maam we can't give you a table

Me : But why ?

Staff : who are you with

Me : subtly pointing towards Manish bhaiya .

Staff : aahhh....Maam he is not properly dressed .

Me : * he was cleanly dressed in a cream trouser and a shirt tucked out .. And floaters *

I asked what is your dress code ?
Staff : we don't have a dress code .

Me : then ??

Staff :No No he is not properly dressed it's a fine dine restraunt

Me : *agitated by now *what's wrong with his dressing tell me and is there a written dress code he is not following ?

By this time Manish bhaiya understood parts of the conversation in English and by the daunting looks of the staff -walks up to me and says - 'Didi hum Nahi Khaenge aap Khana Kha lijiyega na '

Me : * hurt with his innocence and inhuman inconsiderate behaviour of the staff at Mocambo *

Me : call your manager give me a valid reason why he cannot come in .

Staff : goes and calls another person

Me : sir why can't he come in ?

Staff : because he is drunk

Me : *furious and baffled with the audacity of the staff *How do you know he is drunk ?

Staff : because my other colleague told me he is so

Me : on what basis due you make such assumptions . Did he drink in front of you or did you even go near him * they were standing 2-3 meters apart *He is driving me around since 8 o clock in the morning leave apart being drunk he is not even had food

Staff : but I know he is drunk

Me : prove it then

Me : what's your name

Staff : I can't tell you my name

Me : why ?

Staff : No No I can't it's just I can't let you in with him

Me : I Don't want to get in to your racist restraunt walks away with Manish bhaiya with deep grief in my heart on how Inhuman and shallow the world has become :(

Manish bhaiya is one of the finest human beings I have met in a long time he took good care of me and did his duty with all his heart. He is a simple man make 275 Rs a day for 12 hours of driving and sends more then half of the money back home . he has a difficult life Still he laughs a lot shares a lot of stories and is more human and empathetic then any I know .
To Mocambo staff and restraunt at Park Street Kolkata Which doesn't consider human as human and differentiates, discriminates and stratifies them into classes just because he doesn't fit into your description of a perfect customer. (doesn't own a iPhone maybe doesn't talk in English) I m sorry you don't deserve a fine human like Manish bhaiya sitting and eating in your racist restraunt .
