Amitav Andaman and Amrish

Amitav Ghosh, the writer of The Calcutta Chromosome, writes to The Hindu about his experiences on The Tsunami disaster in Andaman as a three-part series.

Amrish ‘Mogambo’ Puri passes away. In pictures. His last film was Kamal’s yet-to-be-released Mumbai Express.

This year’s Bhogi went without fogging any flights and the traffic. It’s improving every year. Good going.

  1. Hi Geek…

    I accept your stmt about delay in flight arrival and departure but you know i parked my car at road side for good 15 - 20 min. at around 6.30AM today. There is ZERO visibility and the heavy vehicles were travelling at very slow speed with all lights on. You may be right about the flights because of new technology but still the Dusty FOG is there in and around the city…Your comments please…

    Re:BSNL Dataone, my opinion is.. not to rush and signup. After all they have just started. I will wait and watch. Who knows, we can even get a fair deal from the other ISPs too.

  4. KG, Thanks for the pointer. I certainly didn’t see it. It was based on my personal experience when I drove down the highway.

    I have to say it was a lot better than the last year and it keeps improving.
