Conscious,at last

By ayanmisra on Wed, 22 Mar 2006

The noted industrialist Melvin Sen had suffered a terrible cerebral stroke.It was rumoured that his left side was immediately paralysed.The gentleman who was also a writer of bestseller self-help books was immediately hospitalized.In fact he was admitted to the best medical facility in Calcutta-Belle Vue Clinic.The news of the stroke spread like wildfire.Reporters,television crew and assorted well-wishers began to camp outside the gates of the clinic.Melvin Sen owned the steel conglomerate Indian Steel Group.He had plants all over India.And a few in the neighbouring countries.His only known heir was his son Arin.Arin was a dermatologist who worked for an NGO.Presently he was stationed in a distant village.On hearing about his father's sickness he immediately faxed a letter to Belle Vue.He instructed that his father be kept alive for five more days.No one was sure whether young Arin had moral,legal or any kind of authority to order senior medical specialists.

Aberration.

By ayanmisra on Wed, 08 Mar 2006

I live in an area of Calcutta called Golf Green.As the name suggests the place is rather greenish.And very picturesque too.Wherever you look there are patches of soothing green.The breeze is cool and peaceful.And the air is rather pollution free for an indian city.Indeed I am lucky to be staying in this place.The pride and joy of Golf Green is certainly Central Park.Its a circular Park that has forbidding iron fencing all around it.The grass inside is supposedly imported,so beautiful is its texture and feel.Film shootings are happening here nearly all the time.And during such events the park is not accessible to the common people.The park is magnificent such as it is.But its crowning glory is certainly the central fountain.This fountain is said to draw water from a lake underground.The park had been built by filling up this lake but the water table has still not dried out.Every evening a few hundred people gather in and around the park to watch the fountain in full thrust.Some people drink the water too.This includes employees of a local eatery who are my great friends.

Brahe

By ayanmisra on Wed, 15 Mar 2006

Somewhere in the Bay of Bengal is the island called Brahe.Brahe is actually a very pristine fishing village with the longest golden beach in all of india.The island is quite near Calcutta.In fact it takes about an hour and half by speedboat.Naturally the place is a magnet for beach junkies.And they come from all over.Though the beach is out of the world and the sea aquamarine blue,there are hardly any places to stay on the island.No hotels as yet.In fact either the tourists stay daylong and then rush back to Calcutta in the evening.Or they stay in the seaside shacks.The shacks are run by local toughs who charge exorbitantly for minimal facilities.No wonder a major realtor Crane Inc. is developing the beach itself.On the anvil is a hotel with a slide from the roof directly to the sea.Also planned is an open air dance area.This will mean income for the locals and spell doom for the shacks.Naturally,the hoodlums who run the shacks are planning some offensive.
