Basanti

I would like to introduce Basanti, whom we (Prof. Ronojoy Adhikari spotted her injured near the main road and called some of us to get some help) met about four months back. We think she was a pet who was abandoned on a road close to where we live. She completely lacked outdoor survival skills, as a result of which she had a severe accident, and one of her hind legs was badly damaged. When we found her she was in a really bad shape and was in extreme pain. The initial diagnosis of a doctor was that she had a paralysis and wouldn't ever be able to walk or even support herself on her legs. We later managed to transfer her to a vet hospital and her treatment started. After three months of treatment and continuous care, Basanti is now fully recovered.

She is very friendly and comfortable with people around her. Unfortunately, we live in a hostel and are not allowed to keep dogs inside the campus. We can't keep her in the hospital indefinitely and all the shelters we have looked at are in pretty bad condition for a pet dog to survive. Being brought up as a pet, she cannot survive on the road and really needs a home. Here are some of her snaps:



Do write to us if you are interested in adopting her. You could leave a comment on this blog or send an email to absolutely.nenui[at]gmail.com or to oranjok[at]gmail.com. We are ready to transfer her any where in India by flight.

Basanti. Whoever has christined her, somehow from the fotos it feels that the name aptly suits her. I shall pass it on to friends.

Hello Anonymous,

I have no guesses for who wrote the blog! I'll like to know.

Thanks for stopping by. Keep doing so and also why comment as anonymous?

Oh well, it's just that we once had a conversation about the author.

I can't come out as un-anonymous for personal reasons. It isn't important.

Once a foreign professor told me that he appreciates the tolerance for animals in the Matscience campus. That, this is one of the things that attracts him to India and his culture. His visit was long before you joined; but however these days you are one of the few ones upholding the tradition with so much valour, when it is in danger of being obsolete. :) What will happen after you leave? Will Matscience be so tolerant to animals any more? Would the last vestiges of this source of national prestige vanish?

I can't guess the author, your identity or the foreign professor. But anyway. Well, matscience will be fine. Its not like I am the only person here who gives a damn. And even those who mind dogs have their reasons I suppose. So peace.

Valentine's special

its a love story of two strange people who never knew they could fall for each other when they first met they only ended up fighting but slowy it became clear to them that they sure shared something a small problem happened when pride overtook him he thought she was less smarter than him she would solve a puzzle and he would solve it again he would tell her that she was simply an idea away from him... he said that he always gets this idea and then he does all that she can and probably much more... one day she decided his behaviour had to be checked she thought for a while and then she said... fine, then you sure can do everything but if you are strictly more smart you have to do the following think of some puzzle that you can easily do and then give it to me to solve and lets see if i can't do.... all the king's men and all the king's horses could not come up with a puzzle like this the duo got closer and the world around more curious today as it stands the puzzle is still ...

Her.

Did I mention that I am a lawyer? I passed with pretty good grades and was hired by a small private law firm. My boss happens to be a very professional person. Also very famous for the criminal cases. What he sublets his assistants are simply cases of divorce. I have handled as many divorce cases as I have attended marriages. I come to believe that, it all adds up to zero. If I was slightly less optimistic I would never have gotten married. I was late for my work. My friend once told me that he works in a firm where he doesn't have to reach on a certain time. The work environment is so good that it hardly matters as long as you are giving enough work output. He was amazed to know that I take same train every morning to reach office at the same time. I am not a very disciplined guy or anything. But I hate missing my work timings. In any case, the days on which I am late, the only thing I feel bad about is I don't get to see her. I have never spoken to her in my life. But her app...

Slumdog Millionaire, what's the fuss all about?

I saw the movie a few days ago. I really don't understand: why so much fuss? If an Indian director makes a fully filmy hindi movie, no one gives a damn about it. But some non-indian comes and makes this movie and people are going all ga ga about it. A.R. Rehman has given music better than "jai ho". Anil Kapur has done roles better than this. This movie has set new records in making a big deal out of a not-so-amazing movie. I say this because, even a huge fuss has been made about why there is so much fuss about this movie. That is like the second order fuss about the movie! And here, I am making the third order fuss with a huge lot accompanying me in doing so. To start the tirade-- The main guy is such a put off! He has a unique expression on his face, indicating he really has no clue what people are talking about. You are supposed to be poor, not dumb for god's sake! Even some of the witty lines are lost due to his dialog delivery. For example, when one police man say...
