Festival Period and Corona Virus _ Diwali, Kali Puja in Kolkata

Image
Hearing the news of Bengali actor and legend Mr. Soumitra Chatterjee (85) passing away was (not) shocking, but saddening and painful. TODAY is Diwali and I've just finished cleaning up my house until I surfed the news of the legendary actor passing away at a private hospital Belle View near Park Street area in Kolkata. He was admitted in the hospital for sometime now. One can just imagine the amount of pain Mr. Soumitra must have underwent. went through ever since #covid2019 virus started impacting all of us wef March 2020.

Was crossing this billboard, yesterday at Chowringhee, and the name of this coaching institute PACE was clearly visible from a distance.

So, what is a nice picture?  On the occasion of #worldphotographyday, myself a small learner and observer of life, who happens to document them, as is, it is, ofcourse there would be a story hidden, behind each photograph.  As a child, I was never to be seen in pictures, because yours truly was a defacto family photographer. Those days, analog camera, the roll and printing and subsequent Joy and excitement enveloped the printed versions, #matt finish... It's like the pre instant maggi time, where a picture equalled to hard toil, sweat and dirt, like giving a birth. Don't want to sound like a dinosaur, in 2020, I do not have a camera. Just a mobile phone. My last spoil was a Samsung #s10, and happy so far. Graduated from rigid and  fixated Microsoft  Nokia to flexi and modern Android. Hmm. Th...

In the process, from villages to cities, Panchayat offices to chief minister's office, West Bengal has witnessed a governance transformation. India is a land of contradictions.
