Re: [Assam] Magh Bihu in Delhi (Alpana B. Sarangapani )

Hi Mridul: By the time we went to Delhi, we were so disoriented, sort of like, belated (or early, for the returnn journey) jetlag effect (?) that we forgot we have so many friends in Gurgaon itself. Hope to see you all next time. Leon's mother is my Jethai's (my father's elder sister, who

Hi Alpana Ba, I was not aware that Leon Baker is your nephew. I had visited Leon's quite a few times. This time during Uruka celebrations in Gurgaon, he also participated along with his friends. I was also not aware that this time you were in Gurgaon. If I would've known, I could've met u ppl

Re: [Assam] Guwahati

I agree there, C'da. At least some businesses would have been opened and some economic activities would have been there which might have generated some employment, along with shifting of the chaos. On our way to Titabar, on this visit, we saw there is no development at all on a long way befo

Re: [Assam] Back to Popular Topic - Corruption

O'Deka: I can't speak for others, but I saw the report in ToI, and I agree with your skepticism. I don't recall seeing the OpEd by Haren-da. I would have expected him to be curious about how Tripura has escaped or rid herself of corruption. But I also have a low opinion of the opinions of bot

I found out this time that some in Assam feel that if the capital was shifted to Chandrapur as originally it was planned, Guwahati would not have faced this chaotic situation. Would it have been better?

Re: [Assam] Back to Popular Topic - Corruption

Ok, now I understand. You were being sarcastic. :-) Yes, It was an OpEd by respected H N Das. To everyone else: I still want to know (may be from H N Das) how Tripura has cleansed itself. Statements like the one in the OPEd must be supported by facts. Why is Ganesh Bora the only one responding

Re: [Assam] Back to Popular Topic - Corruption

Dear Dilip da, I guess, you were referring to the Sentinel's OP-ED written by H N Das (Former Chief Sec) on "Governance in the 21st Century". Mr. Das has taken this information from the CM of Tripura Manik Sarker. Das did not mention about any source of the claim that Tripura has eliminated cor

Dear Ganesh, Could you please elaborate some? I couldn't quite connect the contents of your email to "Tripura has eliminated corruption". Thanks, Dilip Deka = --- On Tue, 1/18/11, Ganesh Bora wrote: From: Ganesh Bora Subject: Re: [Assam] Bac

Re: [Assam] Back to Popular Topic - Corruption

I think this is a right claim in light of the claim made by Kapil Sibal that there was no loss to the state exchequer by 2G scandal. So Tripura learned quickly from the center. Ganesh Bora From: Chan Mahanta To: A Mailing list for people interested in Assam fr

Re: [Assam] Back to Popular Topic - Corruption

O' Deka: Aapuni thikei koise. It is a little mindless to reduce corruption issues to a series of singular cause/effect/way to eradicate etc. It also tells us how the desi media deals with issues, even those as the pervasiveness of corruption. >Tripura has eliminated corruption *** Now that
