About Me
- Suvro Chatterjee
- Durgapur, West Bengal, India
- 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.

Ha! I can't help it. Let the AIRFORCE come in?! That brings an image to my mind alright.
P.S: ...nobody should "hang the calendar" - the calendar has done nothing wrong. Everybody should wait in silence for her to do the needful.
Dear Sir,
I had heard something similiar in school too when one of our teachers said- "Open the window and let the atmosphere come in." . Shilpi di, I can't stop smiling at your witty comment.
Sir, many thanks for the acknowledgement.
With regards,
Saikat
