Kolkata weather: Storm and after

Who would have thought that large stretches of Behala, Tollygunge, Chittaranjan Avenue and New Alipore would go under water in February that is generally regarded as perhaps the most pleasant months of the year?

Balance for Better

In a gender-balanced world, we need to see rural women with laptops, not gas cylinders. This is perhaps what the United Nations has underscored for the International Women's Day 2019#Balanceforbetter. The day, observed on 8 March each year, is a shake-up call. It is a gender sensitisation day, it is a day not about women's exclusivity or exceptionalism, IWD is about gender inclusiveness and gender equality.
