In pre-90s ,we just heard about revolution in communication system was emerging involving computer. Of course computers were in use in many parts of the world; specially in developed countries or continents like United States, Japan and larger part of Europe. But they were in their primitive form. Larger size of desktops were available; with primitive slow operative systems. They required special skills to operate. Laptop was just in imagination and internet was just something heard but could but not visualized. I saw them first at a fair held in Kolkata during one winter in early 90s. I remember India's premier communication company, VSNL or Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited put a stall in that fair and a computer with internet facility was on display. Curious public was taking their first look at it. Very few of them were interested or able to make out what it is! I approached the man on counter; deployed to answer public's queries. On approach he casually briefed me that it was the information bank. I could ask any question, answers could be found. Those days the price of gold was taking a roller coaster ride and that was a matter of discussion among common men and investors. I asked him the price of gold at that moment at London metal market. Withing moments he searched (!) and found the rates. I was surprised. Next day I verified the rate that he gave with the paper quotes. I was satisfied to find they were correct. It truly interested me but taking internet connection was very costly in those days.
Later in the current millennium internet spreaded the way cobweb spreads. Purposeful uses like sending emails and seeking information another use gained most popularity. Social networks, like Orkut, FaceBook and several other social sites help meeting people to communicate and get together stole the limelight of internet usage. So are the porn sites; like dating sites they too have become popular. If you are more than 18 years old you have access to them. One such site is bangyoulater.com; one of the most user friendly site. Interested to know more! Just log into it. It is free!

CHITTARANJAN IN 50s PT.........2

Hi, You all; last time I ended where I stepped out to my first school. Way back in 1958-59 the climate there was not what you find in recent past. The township was in the making, the greenery was offing. The rough and less green township was having a sort of extreme climate. May be with the greenery, later changed the climate turning it more comfortable. Usually in those days very few of us were using shoe or chapple; unless it was a special day like 26 th Jan or 15 th Aug or school sports day. Bare footed as usual we use to play at adjoining school ground, closed to the Srilata Institute. In winter, the school going business in the morning was really very disgusting. My father who used to go to the workshop by cycle usually offered me the lift. However our primary school was devoid of a game teacher or any other paraphernalia like foot ball, rackets or to name anything of that short. The Tiffin was provided free of cost and that was truly interesting. Usually it use ...

Unfriendly Indian TV Channels

  Watching TV serials in the evening; is most favourite pass-time perhaps all over the world. When TV was yet to become household source of entertainment here (India) ; we heard about soap-operas becoming popular;  where Television permeated the drawing rooms. Obviously they were popular in foreign lands. We used to hear of them from various magazines. I still remember Kabir Bedi, becoming popular with Italian TV and audiences. Do you know long before we became familiar with TV; Pakistan had matured TV channels. I remember watching Lahore TV; sitting at UN camps in Indo-Pak border areas. In early 70s of last century; I watched quiz shows produced by Polka Ice-cream and that was quite popular show of Lahore TV. It took decades to present such programs here in India. However during the early days of  Durodarshan; ‘Humlog’  the unending serial ruled the roost for long. Then came a period when Durdharshan produced few best serials like ‘Buniyad’, ‘Tamash’ and many more....

CHITTARANJAN IN 50s

Hi, Everybody, sometime some of you keep me asking about my days and time at Chittaranjan. This is natural, after all there are gaps of decades between most of you and me ! This has prompted me with an idea of writing this to share my old good days with those of you who are interested. Indian Railway under the British colonial rule was another group of companies with different British Managements. Since the different railway networks under all of them were used mutually for their own benefits. At places, different railway companies had the facilities of repairing and maintenance of their locomotives and passenger and goods carriages. To name a few, like Anda, Adra, Howrah, Liluah, Mughal sarai, Jhajha , these are they places I mention since they are quite closed by our loving Chittaranjan. The locomotives were imported from Manchester, England and few from Canada and Australia , all under the Union Jack. A good number of railway operational staffs were anglo Indians,...
