Dola Mitra

Sweet, not sour

I have been to Murshidadab and Malda many many times as a reporter covering various issues, including communal feelings. I have invariably found that the common people do not differentiate between religions and prefer to live harmoniously with each other. In fact, I found that it comes so naturally to them that they don’t even think about it.

Calcutta corners

We who live in Calcutta are quite used to it. When we walk down the city roads, we perhaps discover that a little book store has popped up on a street corner or a small coffee shop has suddenly appeared on a neighborhood sidewalk.

Happy Health

Another guilt-inducing day is looming large. Tomorrow is World Health Day and those of us who take our health for granted ought to take a little time and give a thought to the torture we subject ourselves to.

We don’t like to wait. We don’t like to be confined. The times when we are stuck in traffic jams make us feel helpless. The times when we can’t get off the plane or train perhaps, during a long journey makes us restless.  Even when we know that the wait is temporary. Not indefinite.

US C-17 military aircraft, Amritsar, illegal immigrants

Incensed or indifferent?

As soon as Donald Trump returned to power, he decided to crackdown on illegal immigrants. Not just errant Indians, but “trespassers” from a host of other countries spanning every continent.

From a gentle breeze to a raging storm

“Becoming the Storm”, the debut novel of Rami Chhabra, columnist, writer and journalist, is a measured critique of unquestioning, unthinking human values etched into collective consciousnesses that cripple the journey forward and that lurk like invisible but indestructible shackles.

Indian Army and friends in distant lands

The book “Valour and Values: Aligning Military Experience to CSR” by Brigadier Rajiv Williams YSM (Retired) is an intriguing exploration of how, like corporations, the Indian army too engages in a range of activities which are really military versions of CSR.
