UNDERSTANDING WOMEN SARASIJ MAJUMDER   In a poem titled   ‘ বিদায় অভিশাপ ’—(FAREWELL CURSE)--, Tagore wrote: ........ রমণীর   মন   সহস্র বর্ষেরই   সখা সাধনার ধন । । [ ( To understand) Mind of a woman, my dear, ||You need a devotion of thousand years. ]—- Translation is mine. 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. And I agree after completing 46 years of married life! However, based on my experience—I wanted to write an article on the subject, sharing my understanding for Romeos of future generations. 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…...

  IS THIS ONLY SOLUTION? आखरी   रास्ता  ?? SARASIJ MAJUMDER India has accumulated many   CRIMINALS—who are either belonging to CONGRESS, PARTY or are by-product of CONGRESS   RULE. Last 10 years’ experience proves that they can’t be controlled, or eliminated by Political (DEMOCRATIC) system,   or Legal Methods & Procedures. CRIMINALS   HAVE PUT EXISTING SYSTEM IN A CUL-DE-SAC. There are many CRIMINALS belonging to BOLLYWOOD also. After committing several Crimes including murder, Solmon Khan   used money to purchase freedom, and by-passed Legal Prosecution.   Neutral Justice demanded that he should have been HANGED long back! Added to this are Khalistanis, Rohingyas, Jihadi Muslims. To add only a few more. And there are corrupt businessmen, who cheated our banks, and left INDIA with the LOOT. A few Political bigwigs are also planning to escape by that route. Owner of at least two Companies were stopped from going out of t...

  INDIA’S  GLOBAL   FOOTPRINT  DESTINATION:UNITED KINGDOM SARASIJ MAJUMDER   More Indians are paying more property taxes, and corporate and other taxes to the British government. British politics lies primarily in the hands of native Britishers. I’ve studied and worked in London and attended Indian real estate melas that sell properties in London. Firstly, Indians prefer to invest in London because it gives better returns. The cost per sq. feet in London and Mumbai are almost identical. M ukesh Ambani, Adar Poonawalla, Pankaj Oswal, Lakshmi Mittal, and Ravi Ruia own prime properties in London. In other words, it’s Indians who live in India and invest in London as investors are higher than Native Britishers. The legal system is less complicated to purchase property in London as it’s not only a global financial hub but also a global educational hub. More Indians move to London for higher studies and rent properties that are owned by Indian investors...

He demanded release of all ‘Kar Sevaks’ arrested after demolition of ‘Babri’ Mosque. 6. ...

  WHAT—IF SARASIJ MAJUMDER Congress leader Rajeev Shukla had said that if Narendra Modi was not the Prime Minister then America would never have invited him....!! Honorable Shukla Ji and Congressmen, now I will further extend this "WHAT-IF"… 1) If Rahul Gandhi was not Sonia's son, he would have been a peon in some office today,   whether in UK, India, or Italy, is debatable. Remember- Sonia advised him not give Blood to test and confirm DNA of Rajiv’s remains ...!! 2) If Sonia was not Rajiv's wife, she would have retired as a   bar maid from some bar in Europe...!! 3) If Rajiv was not Indira Gandhi's son, he might have at best   retired someday as a "pilot" of some Airlines...!! 4) If Indira Gandhi had not been Nehru's daughter, she still might have died natural death as an widow—No Emergency happened. No SIKH genocide. No Bhindranwala, and perhaps no Khalistan…BANGLADESH?? That needs a separate BLOG. 5) If Mohandas wouldn’t have been k...

  BAOBAB TREES The Trees of Life. SARASIJ MAJUMDER   In the midst of subtropical India, there exists a small group of Baobab trees that are far away from their original habitat. Mandu, a town located in the Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh, India, is home to a unique wonder known as Mandu ki Imli, also called the Baobab Tree. The baobab is a grand, gorgeous tree which grows to a monumental size of up to 50 metres in width, often hollowing out after it reaches maturity. The texture and size of the trunk has given it the epithet Hatiyan Ka Jhad or elephant-sized tree in Hyderabad. Until April 2017, a baobab in Limpopo in South Africa was famous for the pub  housed inside it . Baobab trees grow in 32 African countries and are prolific in the Sahel. Drought-resistant, they thrive in even the most degraded land, sequestering carbon and fighting desertification caused by water and soil erosion. Baobab trees are among the most unique trees that grow in Africa. Ac...

  GENERAL BAIJU BAKRA   GARHWAL RIFLES SARASIJ MAJUMDER This incident happened before India became independent. At that time there was a training centre of Garhwal Rifle in Lansdowne. At that time, the British rule was waging wars with countries like France, Germany, Burma, Afghanistan etc., hence the Garhwal Rifle platoon also had to participate in the war at those places as per the rule of the government. At this time, wherever the Garhwali soldiers were sent to war, they used to come back proud of their bravery. At one such time, to suppress the rebellion in Afghanistan, the soldiers of "Garhwal Rifle" along with other military units were sent to the "Chitral" area of ​​Afghanistan. On reaching Chitral Afghanistan, the commander explained the map to the soldiers and asked the troops to move forward from different directions. All the troops had to move forward covering a very large area and meet at one place. In the rugged and unknown region there, a p...

This is the story of a brave soldier who defied death and showed tremendous loyalty towards Indian Army.  This is the story of Pedongi ! The Indian Army has an Animal Transport Unit which, as per report, maintains 6000 - 8000 mules.
