When my husband died, because he was so famous and known for not being a believer, many people would come up to me-it still sometimes happens-and ask me if Carl changed at the end and converted to a belief in an afterlife. They also frequently ask me if I think I will see him

Whatever you do, please don't stop reading. Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read books. Read about experiences that differ from your own. Just. Keep. Reading.

At Starbucks, they write your name on the cup. In Kolkata, in this coffee shop in Tollygunge they sketch your face on it. Trust the City of Joy to turn even coffee into art. ☕🎨

Every day, thousands of stray dogs wait with empty stomachs and hopeful eyes. They have no words to express their pain only trust in the humans around them. Our morning food preparation is not just a routine… it is our promise to them. A promise that they will not suffer

School where kids went has two three dogs. Every single kid knows their names, adores them. They are looked after, vaccinated, fed, played with. Even have winter jackets and stuff! Problem is in unchecked canine population growth. Like potholes, garbage, pollution.
Having regard to the "alarming rise of dog-bite incidents", the Supreme Court on Friday ordered that every educational institution, hospital, public sports complexes, bus stand and depots, railway stations, etc must be fenced properly to prevent the entry of stray dogs. Read

India needs empowered city mayors. Prominent politicians must aspire to be mayors. That was once the case. Nehru was Chairman of the civic board of Allahabad. Subhas Bose was CEO of the municipal corporation and then Mayor of Calcutta. Both at a very young age.

#Calcutta in the 1980s was perennially plunged in primordial darkness. The joke was that there was no light in Jyoti Babu's city ! Today's #Kolkata is awash with light. There is superabundance of power. Critics complain that the city lights are too numerous!
Utter nonsense. Calcutta in 80's had 10 hr power cuts (Commies called it load-shedding) even in "posh areas" of South Calcutta. There were 4 bandhs a month, 1 "michil" (march) a week. Law and order was in shambles. City was barely held together by a withering core of Bhadralok.

Perhaps the most unusual book talk I have ever attended! @SanjoyRoyTWA on his debut book - ‘There’s a Ghost in my Room” - says we have to coexist with ghosts. (Perhaps in the way we have to coexist with wildlife!) This book is a memoir on the ghosts he sees 👻 Moderated by

All the kind hearted people / Animal Lovers /followers/ and other people are requested to donate any amount today .100 / 200 / 500 / 1000 Rs. This amount will be used in buying rice and other operational costs for our kitchen of Paws. We are trying to raise for

A beautiful capture of MG YP 2335 (TELCO, 1967) hauling a passenger train at Dhola Jn, captured by William Cope in January 1977! This historic station dates back to 1880 when the Dhola-Dhasa-Dhoraji rail line was established by the Bhavnagar State Railway. @somnath1978 @sambitnk
