[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

An old man in our neighborhood died today. He was hospitalized with chest pain three days ago, underwent angioplasty, but passed away in the ICU. His wife had died during the COVID wave, and he had been living alone since then.

His only son lives in Australia and couldn’t come to see his father. Now, I’m not saying that the son is uncaring or abandoned his parents. I don’t know him. Maybe he is really a nice man. The elderly couple used to visit him every year and spend a few months with him. But maybe once you build a life outside, you can’t really come back. Life, distance, responsibilities, things become complicated.

The son hadn’t come to India in nearly 10 years. He couldn’t come for his mother’s last rites due to COVID travel restrictions, and I don’t even know if he’ll be able to come now or will have to arrange his father’s last rites from there itself.

This has stayed with me all day. To think of an old man spending his final years largely alone, losing his partner, and then leaving this world without his son by his side. Even as an unrelated observer, the whole thing feels unbearably sad.

@TrustScore_1 Staying low key and healthy are among the key ingredients for a long term ultimate satisfaction and fulfillment. Peace🤞

I am a Non Resident Bengali. I was born and brought up in Delhi. Apart from yearly visits to Kolkata during summer vacations, I stayed continuously in Kolkata for 2 years only- during MBA. And that stay removed the rose tinted glasses.

There are 3 things that jolted me- generic dilapidation, civic apathy and abject urban poverty. My friends from CU/JU wore "You can travel the entire city and eat if you have 100 in your pocket" as badge of honor. You see half the people would starved as they did not earn 100 a day.

Apart from IIMC which places almost everyone outside WB , every B-School struggled to place anyone within the city that paid more than 3 LPA. There were just no jobs. The students at these B-Schools boasted of being from Xavier, Brabourne etc. and were 'koop mandook'.

Most of the people I knew of then are not in Kolkata. Some realized early, some late. But they realized. No one wants to go back. And then you see some random Bong NRIs clownishly dancing with placards saying 'Don't vote BJP'. Really? You bloody left because leftists destroyed industries and TMC appeased the peaceful folks to the hilt.

In my ancestral village, everyone from my father's gen either has a small shop or is a party worker. Their sons while away their time at nooks, smoke weed. I always thank my father who decided in '78 that it is time to leave Bengal. Visionary. Else I would be one of those guys.

I don't know if the situation Bengal can be reversed. Most Bengalis are too poor and really want that 1000-2000 every month. Elites are co-opted. Sliver of middle class wants to go out. Even if BJP comes somehow, all gundas might shift en masse to BJP. Then what?

We Bengalis need to bring changes from within. Too much of marinating in past glory and 'Amartya Sen maachher matha kheye boro hoyechhen, tuio khaa', has done us in. I don't know how. I don't see light at the end of the tunnel.

Chaa er Cup ey Biplob ene baal kichui hobe naa. What did not work for ~50 years, will magically start working now? Are you daft?

Ten months after the tragic #AirIndia plane crash that killed 260 people in #Ahmedabad, around 30 grieving families have written to #PrimeMinister #NarendraModi, urging the release of the Cockpit Voice Recorder (#CVR) and Flight Data Recorder (#blackbox) data.

[SGhosh @Ghoshsoumit94]

The connection is non-subsidy.

[SGhosh @Ghoshsoumit94]

Hi @IndianOilcl ,unable to proceed for E-KYC via Indane Gas mobile app. Error message "Your Aadhar number is not seeded, please contact distributor". Distributor on the other hand has no clue at all and unable to help. On checking @NPCI_NPCI BASE, seeding is ACTIVE since 2017.
