Last Sunday I bought a wrong fish and I'm still silently cursing myself for the foolish act. I was born in the hill country of Bengal. In the tea estates of the hills fish was a rare luxury, though we had meat...

Do you, as a rule, take off your shoes and leave them outside, by your door, before you enter your home? Or, do you wear your shoes inside? Also, can you share your thoughts about those choices?

Xavier Bage In the Indian Bengali culture we are expected to leave our shoes outside when we enter the house. In the children's home where I work the children are taught to leave their shoes at least on verandah.

Xavier Bage I wish the newly married " a happy new life" as we say in our Christian circle here. I'm glad for him. Our PM Modi has abandoned his wife without divorcing her. Isn't it sad for the lonely woman?
