The other day I
was very upset at the family of our maid. They have been staying at our Company
B’low maid’s quarter for some generations. I was angry that in spite of volunteering to
bear all the education expenses, their both children have stopped going to school.
The only profession they will take up is either B’low gardener or maid and the
continue to live in the quarters of B’low servants followed by untimely death out
of heavy drinking and smoking.
This morning, read
Akhil Gogoi has vowed to stop Rahul from entering Guwahati as long as land
allotment to the landless people is not done. I have been a fan of Akhil all
along as with self less devotion, he has exposed corruption and limitation of
Administration. But allotting land to the landless people in the wasteland and
Hills, an issue I couldn’t support. Will not this result in more of
encroachment and ring the death knell of
a city already suffocating?
Millions of
hectares of Land, you kept unused for the people from Bangladesh to occupy. If
you look at those land and its inhabitant today, you will be amazed by the
prosperity those people have achieved -be it agriculture, pisciculture or
education. In contrast, look at the plight of the so called indigenous people -
shouting for one Katha land allotment at the Dispur Last gate.
All I can say-
you deserve to be landless, weak and get trampled.

I have been
“Papu”, “papla”, “Paputa” or even “ puppy” to our two year old younger son Siddhant. Now he has a new word in his
vocabulary as I heard him calling me “Paputa .. fiiz, fiiz.... ahana”. Needed some time
to beak the code of “fiiz”. It was “please”.
With the
addition of this new word in his armory, it will be even more difficult for me not to
allow him ti indulge all the forbidden activities
by his Mama.
