Kolkata is getting ready to welcome goddess Durga again. Now we are seeing advertisements on posters relating to pujas, increasing crowds in cloth shops, people home's are painted , people preparing plans for their pandal hopping, garba -dandia, travel outside the state during vacation etc.etc. etc....but we are observing anything new this time too. However, still a number of days are between today and pujas ... may be somebody is trying to do something new ...

New UBER but same old drivers of Kolkata expert in saying NO
Yesterday went to AJC Bose Road from BBD Bag to leave a colleague. The colleague only hired the car on UBER. Before coming to pick us , he asked where would go .. normally this question should not be asked by UBER cab driver... but in Kolkata I have heard 3-4 times that drivers ask for the destination.
The colleague told that the car will drop you at metro station and then car may leave. The driver heard... just before coming to Metro Station of Rabindra Sadan, I asked would you like to go to Howrah ... ( I was just testing him , as he asked the destination before picking us ) ... but he refused. He told my 10 trips target is complete, I will not go.... . It is Kolkata, drivers are expert in refusal .... do not worry... more instances will come up . I do not know why drivers are frustrated in this city. Still the cab drivers of UBER and OLA do not want to go to Howrah . The run car in AC unlike yellow old Ambassador cars .. but still drivers are not satisfied.
Someday they will start to make association ......... OLA UBER taxi drivers association... so that they can run the cars on their sweet will.... they are happy to refuse. They get extra satisfaction to harass customers or prospective customers.
In coming days, if UBER do not control them ... more instances and some more severe instances would come up.

Kolkata in News
Now a days , news papers and TV news channels are concentrating to provide latest updates on Sheen Bora Murder case. Arushi Murder case , Sheena Bora Murder mysteries have provided journalism a new angle. But this is not good angle. Through out the nation , thousands of important news are important , but all news channels want to mint money and fully concentrating on showing news on Indrani, Peter, Das, Sheena's Diary, relationship of Indrani with Khanna and Peter, etc etc. Journalists are not concentrating to detect the murderer but showing the activities of Police. They will say " its not my work " but just think --- if a journo says I know who killed Sheena .... just imagine his name fame and fortune.. but such devotion and sharpness is missing in modern journalism.
Indian news channels resist Kolkata city ... but now Kolkata is very fortunate to get a permanent news on Sheena Bora Murder case as accused and their past were connected to city of joy. A lot of people are interviewed in Kolkata and they are very fortunate to come on the TV for the first time ( probably the last time ). Kolkata has a lot of good and bad things to be covered by news agencies but currently Indrani has made the city popular.

Kolkata Strike - 02 September 2015
We all know Kolkata is affected badly due to strike called by Trade Unions of Communist Parties of India supported by other unions of other parties except Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress.
During childhood , when strikes were announced we used to play cricket on the roads and streets. Those who wanted to learn scooters and Motorcycles ,it was the ideal day. Streets used to be without vehicles. In later years, when strikes were called by Mamata , CPIM used to oppose. In the last years of CPIM , Mamata called multiple strikes due to which even public started to be demoralised. It happens once that she cancelled strike seeing the mood of the public.
Now she is not calling any strike but she is opposing strike called by CPIM. Her supporters who used to pressurise business and vehicles owners to shut down their business , shops and vehicles now are trying their best to oppose the strike.
Seeing the condition of traffic and shops , the BANDH is successful. Ample buses are plying but lacs of people come from different local trains routes to avail bus services in the city. Buses are running empty and without customers. All buses are just running to please the current government. Today is the day of their loss business.
Bank Unions ... ha ha ... they have also joined to support strike... RBI has announced their two holidays in a month but god knows what they want. Youngsters try to get a job in Banking and our bankers have taken their jobs at granted. Even now a days they have shout down ATM. Certainly, public will be affected. Why don't we do something to give them lesson. For a particular locality , if 100-200 account holders close their personal accounts with deposits mentioning the reasons of these strikes... some lesson they will get. One full day , people should not deposit a single money in a branch, they will understand the lesson. Public should come open and oppose bankers through twitter, Facebook , blogs and other social media.
Trade Unions in Bengal should think about the promotion of industries in the state. They must work hard to put the industries back on the track. Last government had listened them enough. whole of eighties, nineties and two thousands was the period of these trade unions. If they do not liberalise... there will be no industry in the state to lock or strike. Their owners have minted crores of rupees and they really do not need to re stat their business. This must be understood by the trade unions.
Talk with the industry and seek for alternative good ways to oppose. From strike... only the common man is suffered nobody else.
