Village Post: Part 1 - Drama in the blood

Author : Victor Mukherjee      Blog : Viking      Date : 10/3/2012 9:25:00 PM

'I always keep talking about my small village in mostly all of my blogs. Well it's not that small also. Almost 5000 people stay in my village. It's actually a very weird place full of weird people and weird incidents ( No doubt why I am proud to be one). A full epic can be written on the place and the people and would be a bestseller without any doubt (Someday, someday). As far as social, cultural, educational and moral value goes, my village holds a very respected position in the wh(...)'

The Rhyme Master

Author : The Viking Returns      Blog : Viking      Date : 9/26/2012 11:27:00 AM

'I have always been a rhymer, as long as I remember. When I was a kid I used to like rhymes and used to create my own rhymes. For example with 'twinkle twinkle little star' I used to rhyme 'come little close, why so far?'. My teachers used to get pissed at this so called 'bad habit' of changing 'literature'.When I was at class four, I got introduced to the literary works of a certain gentleman named 'Edward Lear'. I read through his 'a book of nonsense' in three days and that introdu(...)'

The real masterchef

Author : The Viking Returns      Blog : Viking      Date : 9/7/2012 7:14:00 AM

'My friends say that I am a good chef. Reason being I treat them often with different experimental food which they rejoice. But I know that I am just a cook who understands taste. There were many cases, where I cooked something and it tasted like shit, but I somehow managed to save the day by adding something on top of it and equalize the taste. That's how I became the chef. People say I got it from my dad, he cooks amazing though. Some say necessity while staying out of home made me(...)'

'This is a picture of a signboard and that is no rocket science. It is a very simple signboard, like the ones you usually notice on a highway or a road indicating places. Mostly at a four-way junction in small towns. When you see it, it is nothing but a small directional piece of junk. But on 19th September 2009, this particular signboard had played a very important part in my life. Well, some more people were involved in it too. Well three Red Chillies employees Nikita, Farhan (...)'

Fifty shades of money

Author : The Viking Returns      Blog : Viking      Date : 8/27/2012 9:12:00 PM

'Well, I never believed in the phrase which says that a picture used says thousand words, I've always felt and I still feel that a picture needs at least hundred words to describe and explain many things. A picture completely misses to show the anecdote that is associated with clicking that, the moments that made that picture memorable and I feel that those are more important than the picture itself. Sometimes the stories are so awe-inspiring that the picture stays us forever in our (...)'

'Railway Station... The small village where I come from, railway station has always played a major role in everything. Any occasion in anyone's house, people would be waiting at railway stations to either receive people or to see them off. Anyone visiting their relatives at Kolkata, station is where they wait. From going to office/school/college daily to returning home every weekend, station has always been the most important factor in all the citizens of the small village in South B(...)'
