I think it is not only callousness but total negligence on our part as
well as on the part of our authorities.

We have witnessed examples of such disasters before but we do not seem
to take a lesson. The stampede in Qutab Minar, Kumbh Mela, etc. are
still fresh in our minds. We have such a huge population and whenever
there is a slight disturbace we simply get out in numbers to see what is
going on. We try to panic and everything put together leads to utter
commotion. Nobody has the uposthit budhdhi to do what is practical at
that point. I really thank God as no lives were lost in this incident.

I always find one thing amusing about the nature of "Khaddo-premik
Bangali". What is the idea behind opening up a food stall inside such
Boi Mela? Alur chop-singara-beguni-phuluri na khele ki boi pora hoi na?
Wherever we go our khaoa has to go with us. We are arranging a Saraswati
Pujo here and there too main agenda in the meeting is khaoa. Sadhe ki
kobi boliachchen "Kheye-kheyei Bangali gelo". Edike pet roga kintu na
khele cholbe na. Khaoa and cigarette. I have found so many times my
Bengali friends reading books with cigarette in their hands. Dangerous
combination. I remember how many "toshoks" and "leps" in our house have
been burnt by my Dadu. It is good that Delhi has banned smoking in
public places. I think we must enforce this in Calcutta too. Stop
smoking inside closed places and especially in places where a slight
carelessness by somebody can lead to a disaster. We are so carefull when
we come here to US. Why can't we be a little carefull when we are in our
own country? Once I remember I told a guy in a Calcutta Bus please do
not smoke. That guy turned around and started abusing me like hell -
Besh korbo cigarette khabo - shala tor Bap'er bus. This is the typical
attitude which we have.

I heard that Calcuttans are very proud about their Metro. They see that
nobody litters or smokes inside. Why can't they be a little bit more
proud about other things which they have? After all there is only Boi
Mela, College Street, Coffee House, Victoria Memorial which are only
left for us to be proud about. Let us try to be more mature in our
attitude and think a little smarter - is it our cigarette, alur chop
more important or our city - the City of Joy KOLKATA.

It may not be out of place to mention here that I happen to be an
admirer of the work that Vandana Shiva is doing.

It is, however, not fully accurate to describe her with the simplistic
label as "feminist bhadramahila" as Soumitra did (or not fully
accurate). Last year, when Vandana visited the USA, Vera Britto, a student
at U-M and a friend of mine, took an interview of her. In this interview
she talks in detail about her views on the women's movement and on the
other issues that Soumitra mentions. You can find this interview on
the web at the site:

http://www-personal.umich.edu/~fiatlux/td/vandana/vs-eng.html

India definitely needs a few more people like Vandana Shiva.

Is it true that while the Fire at Book Fair was in its full blaze, the
firemen of the "showpiece" fire engine were feasting in a chay'er dokan
nearby and one of them had gone to answer nature's call - a result of
having vegetable cutlet at the very food-stall which caught the fire
first?
It seems now we can figure out who were the real "Somrats" while Rome was
burning.
Keep it up pet-roga khaddo-premik Bangali. Three cheers!! "Asche Bochchor
Abar Hobe".

Sad to say, "totodin"-Ta bodh hoy khub beshi din noy | How
much longer can people hold out against the rising tide of
powerful forces that seek to swamp everything with corporate
media culture? Not very long.

I used to be an optimist but I've lately been increasingly
pessimistic.

Things will probably get a lot worse before they start
getting any better!
