Arindam, great post. I do however accuse you of regional
bias. No Pran/Jai in your posts? Or they didn't say anything
memorable..................
By the way, Supu Thakur was again sadly shortchanged..showing
the typically bengali characteristic ofjealousy and inability
to understand genius
I submit that all his statements including where he threatened
to "pull Arnab's ear" should be given the prominence it deserves.
So quickly repost a sequel or Abhijit and I are going to pay you
a visit. Its bali time (khnara provided by Pran)

Actually, aecom.yu.edu is the Albert Einstein School of Medicine in NYC, which
is affiliated with Yeshiva U.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
should be college of medicine, no? As in a.e.c.o.m.?
Also is this Albert guy the same as the one who got nobel prizes in
Physics? Wondering why the medical college wants his name-fame.
Or did he in his later life morph into a "dhannantori".
>is affiliated with Yeshiva U.
And our Supu Thakur, is Albert Einstein reincarnated.
There Abhijit, a tipponi for you;)))

Arindam this is a serious charge, no really. Are you sure it was
Sambit Saha and not Sambit Basu?
I can't believe that "thakur" is eating one of his own...oh well,
better watch my back;))
But overall congratulations for a good post. I still thought that the
"ear pulling" was funny.

Well, here are the original posts from Supratik Das:
The first one with all the other gems from Dasbabu included in the same post
where he mentioned Sambit Saha (note well):

Akhtar
I am surprised by your level of stupidity. You are not only a religious bigot
but also a nincompoof.
Soumitri is a name also used by women. We had a FEMALE classmate called
Soumitri.
I am 100 % Bengali but I do not suffer from kohttaphobia like you skunks.
And if you do not like Khottas or Indians go to Pakistan.
And I eat the Shoumyo Dasgupta's and Sambit Saha's for breakfast.
I DO NOT believe in caste but in case you are not aware there are two castes of
Das - Kayastha and Nomoshudra. I belong to the former. In Bengal Kaysthas are
just after Brahmins and Vaidyas. In any case I don't claim descendence from the
Mughal harem like you.
Next time you make reference to my caste I'll kick your arse pink that is if it
isn't already so.

Vintage stuff, wasn't it?
Well, here's the other one:
This time Supratik says it to Arnab on the issue of Nirad C:
"But most Bengalies start the discussion with
'he was a hypocrite....' and end it there. I don't think it is going to
be any different - judging from most of the posts - Arindam, Arnab, etc and I
am not interested in it coz then I'll have to give you a good pull on your ears
(deservedly) and at present I am just not interested."
Hope it addresses the issues raised.
:)

That WAS the funniest line, I actually rolled on the floor laughing.

It was Sambit Basu and NOT Sambit Saha. I made the correction in a
subsequent post. I like most of what Sambit Saha writes.

Yep.

The medical school was set up by the Jews and named after Einstein, of
course with his permission.

Yeap. I believe it was set up because Jews at that time found it hard to get
into a medical college due to rampant anti-semitism in the states.. so they
hooked up with Yeshiva U, which was (and is) a Jewish inst.
