ITS MY DAUGHTER

Its been nice to see angel to walk together with its guy. Its my angel my daughter knows only to cry and blame its own fate what I’m unable to accept. Yes, its not me who gave birth to this girl child but has fathered it. The heaven seems closure with its arrival. Its Ma Bhagwati the mother of earth has come down to settle in and make my home happy. I simply surprised with the limit of tolerance she inherited in condoning many wrong doings of its guy. Her patience in putting its guy in right track in order to make his life meaningful is simply noteworthy. I feel it my obligation that my sweet daughter lives a peaceful life wherever she resides and whoever she chooses to sharing her life. I along with my family prayed to our Guru Mataji to shower her blessing on the couple which is yet to build their nest for a peaceful and prosperous conjugal life.

It is indeed a great service that Partha has done- Dr Sarma

I am greatly honoured and obliged as a son of yours.....humbly Partha Ray Burman.

ITS MY SON PARTHA

Once we together heard cries and laments of a widow and her mother in law at their home. They lost prematurely their dearest and nearest one Basaki, the only earning member of that family. The family has been starving for months and they were looking for a good tenant at their home to reduce their financial hardship. I failed to assist the destitute in dire need. The weeks and months passed in between, we hardly discussed those faces whenever we had met. But Partha never forgot them. Yesterday, he rang me up to reduce my agony that he was at last able to find a tenant to contribute the family a good amount per month. I am indebted to you my son. God bless you.

Scion Sarma again on Indian National Congress

On Siddhartha Shankar Ray

Excellent comments. I'll give you my personal experience. One of my friends used to work for DePenning & Depenning - Patent Consultants. His boss a tamilian was the President of Table Tennis Federation of Ubdia and was organising the 33rd World TT Championship for which the Netaji Indoor stadium was being constructed and as usual there was a delay in completion. He was to go to Geneva for the last meeting of the World Federation before the Tournament. When he was preparing to leave office to take the flight on the next day, he was summoned to the CM's office. CM asked him about the progress at the stadium and then said ' if you are asked at the meeting about the stadium what will you say? Boss said, I'll say that do'nt worry everything is under control. CM said NO. Just say that tournament will be on schedule. At the meeting, the President asked him -'is the stadium ready and Boss said tournament is possible. China had two large stadia ready and was keen to get the tournament. So the Chinese asked 'we are told that the work is far behind the target, will you be able to make it? Boss again said what he was asked to say and the tournament remained at Calcutta. I had gone to Boss to collect a Season Ticket, when he had narrated this story.

Dr Sarma's comment on Dr Sen

It is unfortunate that I am also a silent spectator of umpteen number of wrong doings including that of Dr Sen. -  Scion Sarma

My view:
Only a man of integrity and honesty has the guts to admit like above.

NEW YEAR WITH DR BINAYAK SEN

IN MY FIRST REACTION AS A HUMAN BEING ON THE JAILED MEDICAL PRACTITIONER DR BINAYAK SEN IN A BJP RULED STATE OF CHATTISGARH IN INDIA WAS TO RAISE VOICE AGAINST IT. I WISHED ON THE NEW YEAR TO ALL MY FRIENDS REQUESTING THEM TO SUPPORT THE CAUSE. I DIDN’T GET ANY RESPONSE ON THE ISSUE. I INTENTIONALLY AVOIDED WISHING HAPPINESS AND PROPEROUS NEW YEAR 2011 FOR THEM AS TRADITIONALLY DONE. I THOUGHT HOW MY WISHES FOR HAPPINESS AND PROPEROUS LIFE FOR DR SEN WHO HAS BEEN THE VICTIM OF LEGAL TERRORISM AND LANGUISHING IN A JAIL COULD BE CONVEYED, I DIDN’T KNOW.

MY HUMBLE QUESTION TO OUR LEARNED PRIME MINISTER WHETHER HE AND HIS ASSOCIATES WOULD HAVE REMAINED SILENT HAD HIS PARTY FUNCTIONARY OR A LEADER OR A MP OR MLA BEEN THE VICTIM OF A BJP GOVERNMENT ? OR THE RAIL MINISTER WHO HAS BEEN PROJECTED TO BE STEWARD OF WEST BENGAL IN THE NEAR FUTURE SHOULD REMAIN SPEAK TO NOT ? NEVER EVER IN THE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, DR SEN ADMITTED TO HAVE CONNIVED WITH THE SOCALLED MAOISTS OR ANY TERROR GROUP OR ACTED TO UPSET A BJP GOVERNMENT. I KNOW THE HARDCORE MAOISTS OR TALIBAN MILITANTS NEVER DENOUNCE THE OUTFITS THEY BELONGED TO. THEY RATHER GLORIFIED THEIR OUTFITS. IN WEST BEGAL, ANDHRA OR OTHER STATES, THE OPPOSITION PARTY CADRES HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AND BRANDED AS MAOISTS OR SOMETHING ELSE JUST TO SHOW AND RECORD THE PERFORMANCE AND UTILISATION OF CENTRAL FUND. SO MANY INNOCENT PERSONS ARE GETTING AFFECTED AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE BECOMING DESTITUDES.. ON THE CONTRARY, THE REAL CULPRITS REMAINED UNTOUCHED AND THEIR KILLING SPREE CONTINUED. ONLY GENTLEMEN INCLUDE DR SEN WERE TARGETTED AND HARRASSED TO TAKE POLITICAL REVENGE. THE CONSCIENCE OF THE COUNTRY NEVER APPROVES THE ATROCITIES BEHIND THE CURTAINS OF DEMOCRACY AND RULE OF LAW. INDIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, AMARTYA SEN, NOAM CHOMSKY AND MANY CLASSIFIED CITIZENS HIGHLY OBJECTED TO THE LEGAL ATROCITIES PERPETRATED AGAINST DR SEN AND REGRETTED FOR MISTRIOUS SILENCE ON THE PART OF CENTRAL RULING LOBBY.
