SARASIJ MAJUMDER



NOTRE DAME means “..OUR LADY..” in French, and the first Church NOTRE DAME DE PARIS, is constructed in France, and immortalized by Victor Hugo in his novel-”The Hunchback of Notre Dame”

NOTRE DAME CATHEDRAL DE BASILICA of Saigon was constructed from 1863 to 1880, and now is the top most Church in hierarchy, at Saigon, and it is a ROMAN CATHOLIC church.

All the building materials used in construction were brought from FRANCE. Total cost was 2.5 MM French Franc, at that time.

At the front of the Cathedral, there is a STATUE of virgin MARY. It was reported that in the year 2005, October, people saw DROPS OF TEARS in the eye of VIRGIN MARY--a huge gathering took place, but the Miracle could not be confirmed photograph of the statue of Virgin Mary, with the Church in the background is UPLOADED.

TWIN BELLTOWERS was added to the Basilica, in 1895, with a HOLY CROSS, erected at the top of each one. It’s Architectural construction is having influence of RENAISSANSE Architecture of ITALY. The original red colour of BRICKS, brought from MARSEILLE , are still visible.

  OPERATION SINDOOR ECONOMIC LOSSES OF PAKISTAN SARASIJ MAJUMDER It will be difficult for Pakistan to come out of the loss it suffered in this 4-day KINETIC WAR, fought only in the airspace, involving Fighter Jets, Missiles, and DRONES as attacking weapons. Pakistan claims that J-10C jets, equipped with PL-15 missiles, were used in combat, and that they downed multiple Indian Rafale and other fighter jets. GOI has not accepted any loss of Fighter Jet. No image of Rafael lost is available. GOI is not declaring the HITS it inflicted upon Pakistan. Even then, I have pieced together the information and provided a picture. A. The expenses due to direct losses of HARDWARE may be divided into the following items: - 1.0 Fighter Jets: -- May be 10 Numbers. 4-F16 as a combat loss. 2 Nos. Mirage 2000 and 4 Nos. F16, possibly due to the hit it received when parked on the Air Bases. However, this figure could be more.   Pakistan's retired Air Marshal Masood Akhtar public...

In simple language—‘One Life is not good enough to understand the mind of a Woman’—that is what, Devyani—the heroine of the poem said to Koch, her beloved.

This BLOG is an attempt towards that. Before I start—I want to share an interesting dialogue I had in an evening, with one of my American friend, ( married, and was living with wife and kids,) at his Ranch at Texas. When the darkness of evening started falling upon us, he told me: “….Mate—I understand Machines, Horses, Dogs…...
