    Though I have been deprived of attending the famous "khaloparor Kang" for the last 12/15 years, I always enquire about the preparation and arrangement of the rath yatra which ultimately promotes brotherhood and help in preserving our culture and tradition.
    Rath yatra in Delhi will not only help draw the attention of other communities but will strengthen the unity of the BM also.

    Congratulation, happy rath yatra to all BM at Delhi

    There is a dress code, Henrry.
    but it is for those who will be in the inner circle of the puja...

    frankly I am excited but at the same time very nervous.

    i don't have any issue but you have to take the trouble - arranging the dhotis and of course guiding me.

    take time and contact me in my mail. OK

The 'Star' Krishankant Sinha of Space City Sigma

Search in Google “Space City Sigma”, the search engine would throw up reminiscent results from the people who still long for those days. Those days were really golden days. Krishankant Sinha in the role of Captain Tara in Space City Singma For those who have watched Doordarshan some 15 to 20 years back, am sure they will have nostalgic memories of it. The days when possessing a now ubiquitous looking television set was a luxury. It was a neighbour’s envy product. It was a visual product to showoff, to flaunt that we have a television set .
