Dada retires....

Believers of "VRS scheme for seniors" will have a field day, but that takes away nothing from the greatness of the man we all know as "Dada". Sourav Ganguly announced retirement from international cricket, after the upcoming India - Australia test series. We will miss the leadership, the grit , the focus, the style, the arrogance , not to mention smart articlulate person on cricket.

All the best Dada!!!

Unfortunately, this will increase pressure on other seniors......

She pulled the trigger........now, face the recoil


And finally they have decided to say TATA to Singur........which is good business sense, & bad for the politcos, cos the government & the opposition both have ended up looking glum, & by the look on Mamata Banerjee's she is shit scared, never thought Tata would actually pull out.....all her agitation (funded by Tata's rivals??? ofcourse!!) would have earned her votes...........now that they have pulled out , she is going to face a backlash....because all the 11k farmer who gave their land, took up alternate vocations are gonna ask her questions about their future....after all, the land is not exactly cultivable now, & given the nature of troubled past & present issues industries faced at Singur, i doubt anyone else will set up shop there....

& if she has no answers, she is in trouble......she is in trouble anyways.....

I have a feeling things will still change here, too much is at stake, vis-a-vis local issues, Nano's costing, Brand India, Brand Bengal,Brand Tata ("A promise is a promise"), et al.....to my mind this pull out announcement, subsequent protests are all pressure tactics...... i will not be surprised if in the next few days, Mamta Banerjee withdraws her agitation "in the larger interests of people of Singur" :-)

She must be cursing he "backers" like anything now......
