The Great Wall of Education


Last evening I got to be part of an initiative undertaken by Aviva, The Telegraph, 91.9 Friends FM, City Center and Emami Starmark among others for a noble cause: Education for All, the lack of which plagues our Great Country.

The concept is to get citizens to donate their old/new books and create The Great Wall of Education and these books will be given to underprivileged children.


I got there in time to witness Raima Sen at the event to propagate her support for the cause.

It was heartwarming to even see young kids come out and do their bit. In a country as immensely populated as ours, education is a burning issue, especially for those that can’t even afford two wholesome meals a day. And only education can bridge the gap.

I am cheering for the people who’ve started this initiative and hope to see The Great Wall of Education grow to towering lengths, widths and heights and hope all Kolkatans to support this cause.

All you need to do is go to City Center, Salt Lake by Sunday 05 September 2010 and donate your books for this cause.

The 7 Wonders at Eco Park

Pyramid & Sphinx Our last excursion to Eco Park in Rajarhat dates all the way back to February 2015. Since then, a myriad of transformations has swept through the park. During a recent journey to the airport, we caught sight of the park's latest additions, which had become the talk of the town, visible from Biswa Banga Sarani. That sighting ignited our decision to revisit the park. Naturally, we concurred that visiting on a weekend would be an exercise in chaos, so we opted for a weekday to fully savor the wonders that awaited us. To our surprise, even on a weekday, the park teemed with visitors. Upon entering Eco Park for a nominal fee of Rs. 30, we were immediately struck by the sheer value it offered. Personally, I would have willingly paid more for the privilege of glimpsing these marvelous creations. Rather than expound further, I'll let the images convey the essence of what lies within. That being said, it unquestionably merits an in-person visit to truly appreciate ...

Vintage Car Show 2018 at The Tollygunge Club

1947 MG TC So here we are once more at The Tollygunge Club on a cold winter morning to catch some rare beauties to warm our hearts. I try to catch these every year if possible and after my recent trip and the number of cars I've seen on it, one would think I'd give it a miss. This year's collection had most of the usual cars with an addition of some more to the fray.  What disappointed though was the limited number of super cars on display. But all that said, it's always a joy to see these wonderful gems still being cared for by their owners and offering us a glimpse into automotive history. So with that much said, I hope you'll enjoy the pictures of the cars below. 1947 MG TC 1938 Rolls-Royce 1938 Rolls-Royce 1953 Land Rover 1932 Ford V8 1932 Ford V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1956 BSA Bantam 1952 Willy's Jeep 1962 Triumph Spitfire 1962 Triumph Spitfire 1925...
