English poem by Bengali Teacher
Found this over the net
A poem by a Bengali school teacher
Through the jongole I am went
On shooting Tiger I am bentBoshtaard Tiger has eaten wife
No doubt I will avenge poor darling’s lifeToo much quiet, snakes and leeches
But I not fear these sons of beechesHearing loud noise I am jumping with start
But noise is coming from damn fool’s heartTaking care not to be fright
I am clutching rifle tight with eye to sightShould Tiger come I will shoot and fall him down
Then like hero return to native townThen through trees I am espying one cave
I am telling self – “Bannerjee be brave”I am now proceeding with too much care
From far I smell this Tiger’s lairMy leg shaking, sweat coming, I start pray
I think I will shoot Tiger some other dayTurning round I am going to flee
But Tiger giving bloody roar spotting BengaleeHe bounding from cave like footballer Pele
I run shouting “Kali Ma tumi kothay gele “Through the jongole I am running
With Tiger on my tail closer loomingI am a telling that never in life
I will take risk again for my damn fool wife !!!

First Tata, now Infosys… may pull out of Bengal

I hope that Mamata and the rest of those filthy politicians are happy now that Tata is almost on the verge of pulling out of Bengal and InfoSys is also rethinking its plans for West Bengal.
I really wouldn’t blame the companies here. How can you expect them to invest huge amount of money in a state where all it takes is a bunch illiterate, insensitive, brain dead politicians backed by a few hundred depressed, deprived common men to stop the working of a production factory and endanger the lives of all its employees. All this while the so called ruling government, law enforcement and judicial system stands by watching the chaos pathetically helpless!!!
Under Budhadheb, after the dark ages under Jyothi Basu, finally W. Bengal was just becoming an attractive haven for investors. And now with the Singur issue, they have back stepped in their progress by many folds. Why is this? Why is it that some Indian politicians manage to screw up things big time and yet the public still supports them. Read the rest of this entry »
