AILA FURY IN MY LOCALITY
Cyclone Aila had it's impact in our locality too. No,the fury may,in no way, be comparable to that which the people living in the 24 Parganas South, North and elsewhere have been experiencing.
Here trees were uprooted and or branches of them have fallen even on houses with tin-shed ,cash crops were damaged,electricity went off for days together.People faced a lot of problem as supply of drinking water was stopped.Men,women and small children qued up in front of the Municipality deep tube well for long hours.Men from the state Electricity office did a great job.They worked in my locality from 3pm to 10pm with the help of local people to bring back power supply.I ,on my part, was with them for long 7 hours.It is known that Aila left its impact on Bangladesh too.The BRAC(USA) blog (received by me via mail) illustrates how the relief and rescue operation are being carried out there with focus on disaster management on a long term basis.
Some snaps of trees that became victims of Aila are uploaded here.

VISIT TO OOTY
I owe an apology to my readers-more particularly to those who tried to visit this blog but were frustrated for not having seen any new post for quite some time.Anyway,better late than never.
On 18.04.08. I and she (The second pronoun refers to my wife)went to Bangalore.
Two of my followers were present at the new airport to receive us.After exchanging some pleasantries they hired a cab.we headed straight to IISc campus where a room was booked in advance for two of us .What a coincidence!It was the same room where we stayed during ourlast visit.There has not been any change in the room during this one year.
On enquiry from the caretaker I came to know that the member of the staff of the guesthouse,with whom I developed some intimacy last time and who was a local people breathed his last due to cancer.I still remember his stout physique.May his soul rest in peace.
Three more followers came to see us.It was really nice to meet those bright boys and girls.
On 20.04.2008,we went to attend a colloquium of one of my follower.The conference room was full to the capacity.Some people were found standing.It took little over an hour to complete the presentation and question answer session.
Now that the main purpose of our visit to Bangalore was over,we took the opportunity to visit Ooty which attracts visitors during all seasons and has built up a fame as the `all-seasons -hill resort’ as well as the `queen of hill ations.It is one of the most popular hill resorts in southern India at an elevation of
7216 ft.It was used to be popular summer and weekend getaway for the Britishers during the colonial days.We stayed there for two days.
Some snaps that we took there are posted here.
