 The Season of colours is here again. Inspired by Mother Nature, we love to sing and dance this time of the year. We smear colours and celebrate the arrival of Spring 🌼🌱🌼. This is also Basant Utsav, or Spring festival when nature wears a newness with fresh leaves giving the trees a fuller look. The scent of Mother Earth 🌎 makes life more earthen and the attraction towards Nature increases despite all the urban temptations. The Holi colours as they are called Gulal or Abir are now purely herbal and natural to maintain the purity of the celebration 🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉

The rain deficit this year and late monsoon caused real damage to the seasonal crops which need water especially the paddy crop. There was hardly any rain and even if we got some drizzles and showers in and around Kolkata region, that was insufficient for good crops and North and South 24 parganas. As a result there was spiralling price rise of vegetables in the market. This was the scenario during the monsoon months of July and August. There was hardly any rain and they went dry. Quite in contrary, news from outside West Bengal was very sad. Incessant rains caused floods in some states in the early monsoon period causing flash floods in Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Andhra Pradesh,Himachal, and Rajasthan.

Villages, remote areas of South Bengal including Midnapore, Bankura, Dinajpur, went under water ...

The student protest in Dhaka turned bitter and the state government pressed police force and took reactionary measures to repress. The current social turmoil in Bangladesh since June 5 has come to a full circle with the resignation of Prime Minister Shekh Hasina on Tuesday. For more than one month, students took to the streets of Dhaka, the capital. They were up in arms to fight against the quota system in government jobs.  Earlier there was 60 per cent quota for the families of the martyrs of Bangladesh War in 1971. Hasina government outrightly scrapped the reservation procedure leading to consternation among students in universities in Dhaka. The Supreme Court reinstated the quota system but the allotment was not in favour of students. The students wanted  the quota system based on merit. The Supreme Court finally came to the decision to give only seven per cent quota to the families of the martyrs' families, two per cent to the other backward class, transgenders and 93 per ...
