It is high time that Kolkata starts looking after itself after the Mumbai 7/11. with all the incidents of arms and ammunition being found in the outskirts of bengal it is better to be safe than sorry. can we have cctvs installed in Howrah, Sealdah. circular rails and metros? can public announcements be made on the platforms to report unclaimed bags or packages? can Kolkata Police be visible in and around temple sites and busy marketing areas? can the bengal citizen be more alert in reporting unclaimed bags? i think what delhi is doing should be done here too - get photo identities of users in cyber cafes. I know it seems to be a tall order. let us be aclaimed for the contributions we make in our lives rather than our spirits be hailed when we are not.

2006 has been a very bad year for democracy in india as far as freedom of expression goes. first the heavy handed way in which the students stir on the reservation issue was handled. and now this blocking access to all blogs , harmless or otherwise just becoz of a few blogs. will registering incident at cert-in(computer emergency response team- india really help?
