Festivities: Bandh... Hartals.. Strikes!


Thats the Bandh Days in Bengal again... Nandigram killings... call a day off!!! Tapashi Mallik Killing, well it was almost a Day off! Pention problems, call a day off... Firing (not at Lokhanwala!), call a day off... sometimes I wonder, that will drainage block in the laterine of the emminent opposition leaders to the ruling party heads will also call for a day off... a Day off for celebration and pull back Bengal, 12 hours to 24 hours, non stop!

Thats the fun of the whole proceedings!


30th October, 2007: SUCI called for a 12 hour Bengal Bandh. Reason, well not clear..some say its for the pensioners' rights, where else others say that its for the vegetable price hike! Whatever may be the reason, to many it looked like another Sunday preponed, but well..it seemed like it would be so...but this time, the Kolkatans came out in masses and completely jeopadized the "Bandh"!


31st October, 2007: Trinamool Congress, the largest opposition in the State Legislative Assembly of West Bengal, called a Bandh in protest of a bullet shell found near the car of Miss Mamata Bandhopadhyay, the leader! Well the whole proceeding is a drama, which better can be phrased into one line: According to Artillery Physics, the story doesn't fit!!!


Well, still its a Bandh... and now its to be seen how the Bengal reacts to the call...
