What makes for 'excellence'?
The photograph below was taken in front of a lavatory in one of the most elite educational institutions in this country, one of our 'centres of excellence'. Comment unnecessary.
Hullo, And after a decent interval following my gaffe - that pic and the word if they really go together can only mean that Roman Catholic priests and the vicars from the Agatha Christie tales, and only those priests and vicars trundling very large suitcases (that oblong object near the frocked figure can only be a very large suitcase) along with them can enter that door....
I'm still curious as to what the door meant for the females had as a sign...
I am 61, and for 22 years now a confirmed home-bird. I read, write, teach, counsel, listen to music, exercise, watch movies, have fun with kids including my own, have tried to be a good husband, think all the time, and generally endeavour to live the good life as I have understood it. It's tough, and it's been a long trudge.

Swarnava Mitra commented on influencers: “Dear Sir,"In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." I guess that…”
Aishik Bandyopadhyay commented on even maths now: “Good evening Sir,I do not know anything about the Integration part, but 3^2=6 is simply hilarious.…”
Suvro Chatterjee commented on poops: “Thank you, Swarnava. I have made the correction already.”
Swarnava Mitra commented on poops: “Dear Sir,The series you are talking about is called 'Connected', not 'Connections'.…”

Hahahaha! I just can't stop laughing. Where is it, Sir? Durgapur? Kolkata? Which part of West Bengal if the place is indeed in West Bengal?
I'll tell you privately, Sayan. Don't want to mention it in a public forum.
Nice one , Sir. Reminds me of an old cartoon about ambiguity regarding restroom signs . Please take a look :

I read this recently:
Dear Engineers,
The thermometer is not the only thing that gets a degree without having a brain.
Yours truly,
Anyone but an Engineer
