My son Alex ( Alakshendra ) . how mighty he will become ,only time will tell but certainly he is getting naughtier with every passing day.

In the month of June 2009 , i have been to Kolkota on official trip. it was a great trip and really I liked the city very much. I had a very different impression about the city ( only what Ihave got from old movies i.e. Amar prem, Do bhiga jameen etc. ) But it as pleasent surprise being there. I saw the New Bridge which in it self a good piece of morden time engeenering. But outsiders like me only know about Howarah bridge.
"Hath not a Jew Eyes"
To bait fish withal: if it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge. He hath disgrac'd me and hind'red me half a million; laugh'd at my losses, mock'd at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies.
And what's his reason? I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes?Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections,passions, fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons,subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmedand cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is?
If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh?If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall wenot revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble youin that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility?Revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferancebe by Christian example? Why, revenge. The villaiy you teach me I will execute; and it shall go hard but I will better theinstruction.
