looking for old friends

at this age, i have decided to look up for my old friends. it is not true, that all these years, i have not tried to search for them. however, my efforts were unsuccessful. so at this site, i am hopeful to locate some of them, may be all of them. it is true, my friends have all gone old like me, but i am sure some their sons or grandchildren may be net savy and my pray will not be lost. so, i will start from the very begining.
1. shantiniketan (bolepur) :shishu bhavan hostel from 1952 to 1956 - i can still remember my friends like, vijay awasthi, mihir(agartala), shantanu, shanta, krishna. few clues : our hostel super was then, dhanapati da, math teacher was tanmay da(very strict), songs teacher uma di and tejesh da(living then at TALTAPTA KUTIR) - teaching us nature. i can still remember those days.
2. south subarban school(main), bhowanipur, calcutta - i studied at this school from class 7 to class 12. friends and teacher i remember : shovan chandra(demised), partho mukherjee, anjan banerjee, dipak sengupta(habul), all co-students AND teachers - niranjan da (headmaster), felu da(cashier, collecting school fees). there were many teachers, who i did not forget. period of schooling was 1960 to 1965.

st. Xavier's college, calcutta from 1965 to 1968, B.Com (pass) my roll no. was 73.
students - suresh sirohia, surinder sing rangi, nandi brothers. omprakas chaddha (football corner), ajit singh, bhuta singh, gopal kedia, hemant swaika, khaitan.
teachers - mr. abdul karim kamlani (my most favourite, accounts teacher), mr. p. lal(english) mr. viswanathan(english), mr. subrata roychowdhury(indian economics), mr. gomes(general economics)mr. surti(accounts)mr. rao (ncc). i should never forget to mention of fr. joris, who is not with us anymore.

i have missed several names, but belive me, their faces i can still visualise, but can not remember their names.

my main intention of writting this blog for public, is i want to know their whereabouts and if they r keeping healthy and hearty.

my mail id is : bhaktipradipb@gmail.com and banerjeesan@hotmail.com. i would love to receive mail in this connection and would also welcome new friends.

god bless everybody.

Lalgarh expedition

the joint forces of west bengal and central government has recently marched in lalgarh and partially cleared the maoist. but how long the forces will remain in that area ? there is every posibilities, that the maoists will return again, unless the west bengal government, specially, take a deep breath and join hands with the local people to upgrade/devlope the present situation. there are many things which are to be looked after immidiately. like, health, drinking water, sanitation, education and social welfare. the back log of 32 years can not be finished by any magic. but the governments must be sincere in their efforts and should not depend only on their ataffs/officials. the CM himself should look after the progress. i think, this could be one of the ways, by which we can keep the maoists away. anybody, has a better suggestion ?
