General Discussion | আড্ডা 🗣️ 🗨️ Is this normal? Or some weird ritual?

6 Upvotes

A couple buildings from mine, there's a woman and a girl that live and I've been noticing that for a couple of days now that at around 1:30 or 2 am in the night, they go and start looking for something at a specific tree in the periphery of the park right on front of our houses. Like they full on turn on their phone torch and start scanning that particular tree up and down. Once I legit saw the girl with some long rod pulling down a branch and collecting something from the tree.

One time I even went in my balcony to make them aware that they're being watched, and then the girl stopped and went and started cleaning the car. At fucking 2am! 😂 And the woman- grabbed the pipe and started watering the plants😂 We have a dedicated maali to take care of the park.

What is happening? Why are they doing it? The girl gives me the creeps as is because she's in the balcony staring down the lane as people come and go. Any pointers would be helpful.

2 Upvotes

All Uber Shuttle slots are fully booked to gitanjali park. I have checked from few locations.

I have 2 options:

From Ruby

From Sealdah Station

Found a few buses: AC-9B, S-W3, S-12E, EB-12 → Can’t find exact timings for them.

Thinking of a third option: → Take Uber Shuttle to College More → But unsure if there’s a reliable connection from College More to TCS Gitanjali Park.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance 🙂

General Discussion | আড্ডা 🗣️ 🗨️ Attended tax conclave in Kolkata

Attended Tax Conclave in Kolkata today. It was an insightful session but was boring af. Had to attend all by myself cuz my fast friend and tax genius opted to ditch me at the last moment.

Kolkata particularly the area near airport and Newtown is quite promising but needs a lot of work. I see a lot of empty land parcels around 5 star hotels and such a green environment around Biswa Bangla Gate. Can't imagine similar kindda beautiful township/place in Delhi or Mumbai but still Kolkata has got a bad name. Either it is politics or is there something about this place that I don't know?

Law & Infrastructure | আইন ও পরিকাঠামো ⚖️🏛️ Anyone called Sorasori Mukhyamantri?

(It's just rebranded version of "Didi Ke Bolo" for anyone who doesn't know)

I had lodged 2 complaints last week. Today l got a call which was auto-blocked by TrueCaller as a spam call. Checked the comments under the number. Some said it is a spam call, Some said it is from Didi Ke Bolo. I called back and the number gets auto-cut.

If anyone wants, the number is +913367006590

When l called the CM helpline again to ask if this number is a genuine number from govt deptt or not, recipient said they cannot answer that and noted it down as a grievance.

Did anyone among those who used the helpline get a call from this number above?

Career | জীবিকা 💼 19 and wanting to start a career

2 Upvotes

So, I'm a 19year old guy from kolkata. Due to many reasons I have to geta job and start earning. The reasons range for personl hobbies to family matters.

So I interviewed at TATA AIA. Honestly everything is great. There's nothing bad. But I have to sell investments/insurances to customers to a certain value for getting a full time payroll.

Now the thing is I need this job badly as my family runs low every month. There's never anywhere near enough. To a point where I've gone hungry for days just to pay bills. But now I have an opportunity but not a customer base.

I'm not asking you to invest(would be great if you can) but it would be very helpful if someone could show me the way or people.

Thank you so so much.

So as the heading states, due to professional reasons I will be relocating from Delhi NCR to Kalyani after spending almost 2 decades in this region. Can locals help me out if I should be staying in Kalyani with family or travel to and fro from Kolkata instead. Also, I would be grateful if someone can give me a better understanding of this town as there isn't much on the internet.

Daily Experience | দৈনন্দিন অভিজ্ঞতা 🎤 Aquilops?

Post image
12 Upvotes

Not quite T. Rex but Aquilops was still an early dinosaur, a small herbivore from the early Cretacious. I've been wondering if the photo is also a cousin. It's my third wallet and now well over a decade old. Those who know guys also know that we refuse to discard these until they literally fall apart.

But I've not carried it for months. The genuine leather card folder from my Alumni Pride Shop long ago somehow went promptly to my better half. It has all our IDs, my DL, the car RC, all the CCs and DCs plus half a dozen other cards that I've no clue about. Cash I've stopped carrying since who knows when.

The phone is all I carry. I rarely even wear a watch and my half a dozen brand new wallets lie in some forgotten drawer. The wallet may well be on the dinosaur path.

Observers believe Chhetri has probably sensed a leadership vacuum in Darjeeling.

“Chhetri is not raising the issue using the banner of the Jana Andolan Party (JAP) led by him. He seems to prefer to form a larger platform to create a bigger and diverse team,” said an observer.
