Atanu, to my devilish mind comes a simple question. Were you able to meet the “all loving, divine” “Sri Sri” Shankar in Bangalore? By all accounts, he is angling for a nobel peace prize nomination.

Hey Atanu!
Came to your blog after a long time, and found out that you had come to Chennai! How I wish I could have met you!!!

BTB, You have visited the best of the schools. Their system will definitely be the best. Wish such systems are present across all educational institutions!!

And Chennai heat has subsided. No more knives

Mr.Dey ,

I saw you on that BBC interview…I never read your blog before that, but somehow your name was familiar – maybe I came across it in some other blogs. I thought it was a great interview (though I vaguely recollect it right now), your points were well made and original. I think you made a point about rapid urbanisation being the best solution for India’s poverty.

Now I look forward to reading your blog.

Atanu, Most of your readers have collasped due to post deprivation and currently under intensive medical care.Only if you resume posting in an urgent manner there remains any hope. Debating about reservation for the most part is a useless exercise (pardon for being so dismissive)for the reason that it is a political decision, its solution has to be arrived by political maneuvering.Regardless of the outcome this will leave India even more fragmented. this post (and this also)explains one of the major reasons behind pro - reservationists which is revenge.Also not the irony that the diasporic site has blogger(s) who go extra mile (and then some) for "a certain misunderstood community", none of the commentators on the post bothered to point out that the post bordered on hatred. Chennai is ,well uncomfortable (having lived there for one year I can vouch for that) Its only redeeming point is greenery (as compared to Mumbai). Luckily I have moved to Seat of Peshavas Regards
