Hello, This is Piyal… Many Thanks for dropping in to My Yard! I designed this site to connect with you and it contains, in addition to my professional profile, the story of my life in the form of an autobiography, a set of blogs I have written, an entertaining (hopefully) photo / video gallery where you may be surprised to see yourself featured, guestbooks and much more. Happy to see you here and hope to give you a really good time as we connect at an altogether different level…

Leak lets in shower of grievances

(This “vintage piece” was published in The Telegraph, Calcutta in 2002)

Leak lets in shower of grievances
I was in a private bus on route 215A when it started pouring. All the passengers got drenched, as few windows had shutters. Moreover, the roof of the vehicle was partly damaged and water trickled in through the leaks. When some passengers protested, the conductor promptly retorted that nothing could be done with the meager earnings from bus fares. While hikig bus fares, the government should keep in mind that we are deprived of even basic amenities.
