Those days we used to call Thriving-Bengal Days, or more accurately at the tangential top of the inverted-smiley-face curve, if I may call, just before started everything declining. Planned-City-Chittaranjan to Barakar to Asansol, Planned-City-Burnpur to Ranigang to Planned-City-Durgapur - everywhere thriving. Our village is situated about 7kms from Chittaranjan and on /Viswakarma/ puja day we will visit Chittaranjan Locomotive Factory or Hindusthan Cables Factory, because on that day factories used to open for public. Each of the department would perform their own Puja (Kudo's to those dedicated Surveyors, they knew simple ways to compete, and to inspire) and distribute Prasad to all the visitors. And our enjoyment was to see those biiiig machines, huge belts, super-size fans, mystic Sirens - "Ei dyekh dyekh ei tau baaje-rea, Baba rea oto dhur thyei-ke shyun-te pai".

For sometime I wanted to write few lines about Bangalore water crisis. And what better day to write about, other than today, the #WorldWaterDay. I have a long relationship with the city. In 90's I lived in the city for 6 years when I was studying in Indian Institute of Science and then my first job here. I loved the city more than any other Indian city, because of it's people, beauty, weather.
