Millions of rupees were spend on cleaning up, and beauty-fying the Marine drive,

How how can we expect bengalis to have a good physique

How how can we expect bengalis to have a good physique

Bfast is

Jalebi = suger
Daal puri = some protein

Lunch is chicken and pulao

Chicken = more protein
Pulao – carbohydrates

Greens , whats that ☺

The cheapest solution can’t be the best one

It is something that is but natural, if I am good in what I do, I will want to get paid what it is worth, N that a corporate will never let happen

Which is why Corporatization will never be the best option.

For CWG the govt gave the contract to a company which probably quoted the cheapest, The company also took 5 yrs to build the bridge that collapsed, before the games, the army put it up in 5 days.

Wake up India, We are at the cusp of being a great country, do not let the lack of – inability to run the final 10 mile be the reason where we stay as a also had been country.

Another example o: I had a friend from childhood who works in a corporate, and actually believes so much in his company which bid the lowest for a job, my friend wanted me to find him people who will work for amount’s which won’t even pay for the gas bills of the new recruits.

Needless to say, he is not a friend no more, as I refused to cheat others for his company’s profits.

if only we could make roads

Now if only the cwg was in mumbai we would hahahahave great infrastructure , though we can't promise roads, as we already spend 60 crores , thats 9,86,781.8 euros on road building , but still cant do it all

bye bye

The elephant headed – Ganpati says good-bye till we meet next year for the 11 days party time.

Stay safe and enjoy.

Sisters Bday

Today is my sisters Bithday, hope she finds all the happiness that might have eluded her, AM always there should she need a hand

fly away

Last night she went away for a few days, joined the birds and the sun, moon, like the birds.

I know how will she come if she leaves not ? ;)

Ganesh chaturthy

Ganesh - The son of Shiv and Parvati comes to spend some time in Mumbai.

And we had a party with him. Yup, rave on beach with fire and incense and food. Those we love were invited, or those who wanted to drop by were there too, clothing optional.

Then he decided to take his leave, he became one with the earth on the shores of the Great Sea, see you in another yr's time.

Happy id people

They say it was ID yesterday, but me saw the moon today (clouds u say)

Well happy id to you all from me and ganpati (the elephant headed Hindu god)

home sic before leaving

Some images demand that we keep quiet and just enjoy the images ...

Independence day

• India too is a reflection of ourselves (its citizens).
• If I want less corruption, let me stop indulging in it.
• If I want a cleaner environment, let me dispose garbage efficiently.
• If I want a Powerful India, I will exercise my Power by Voting.
• What I give to my Motherland, my Motherland will give back to me.

This Independence day let us promise to make our Motherland the best country in the world !!

Independence day

Been 63 years since the Britishers were shooed away

The country has walked many a mile, many more to go

The politicians realize: “ Indians need to prosper to make India great “, we will all be so much better of.

Nurtured nature

Just like a resilient plant, no matter what will always try to open up, will always try to grow even in the most diff of place …

It finds its own way to be nurtured

Miss Fine goes Bye Bye

She came to build her career in Mumbai … she hopefully learned some …. Was quiet as a bird … climbed 7 stories of stairs to her place of work but alas Fell victim to her parents wanting to live there dream through her … she packed up, and shipped out …

All the best Miss Fine , lover of Simpoo ;) we will always remember you welcome you … success will be yours fear not, be true to your dreams ...

Home is where the heart is ...We are born free,

but we draw barriers and make demarcations trying owe a piece of land / business ... trying to posses, else all of it is ours …

A week ago she came to the country of 1.4 billion people, not knowing no-body, Tonight she is out with 6 folks spending her birthday, who are so not her, or are they ? not that different maybe .

another way of thinking … another culture … land of yoga … is it cause ... it was ment to be ...people genuinely care ! happy Bday Maria 2010 July 10th
