Biography & True StoriesOctober 2018THE STREET
A Novel
by Hrishikes Bhattacharya
She was abandoned at the Sealdah Railway station by her husband as she was barren. When Mashi sought help from the police they gang raped her. But she didn’t feel humiliated. Her husband had done worse. Over time she became the richest and most powerful woman of The Street! Your brethren you have treated with disrespect,You have denied them their simple human rights.You have made them stand and wait before you,And not given them a place in your affection.You must share with them all, their ignominy. This excerpt from the poem Apomanito by Rabindranath Tagore sums up how street children are shunned and abandoned by society in India. Even though we see them everywhere around us, we prefer to treat them as invisible beings. “Where he’ll be the next day or what he’ll do, I do not know, nor does he.” But Boomba and Toomba and many others like them exist—with their philosophy, their aspirations of life and love, their challenges, thrills and excitements. Is it time society began treating them like human beings?The Street goes beyond and explores the daily struggle for survival of street children, and the freedom they cherish and aspire.

Veterinary medicineJanuary 2022Pongamia for Bio-Energy and Better Environment
by M.V.R. Prasad
Pongamia pinnata is also credited with several preventive and curative properties as established by Ayurvedic medicine. It may be recalled that in the decades of nineteen seventies a few villages reaped sustainable incomes in the face of acute and chronic droughts that plagued the nation, solely due to the availability of some old Pongamia / karanj tree stands around those zones. Kranj oil has exhibited promise as a source of green energy. Nevertheless, the research on improvement of Karanj and its management as a productive plantation is nebulous. It is heartening that the Monograph on Karanj by Dr. M.V.R. Prasad fills this void. Dr. Prasad has been pursuing the work on oil bearing perennial trees of which Pongamaia pinnata has been studied in greater detail during the decades starting from nineteen eighties to date. The Monograph describes clearly as to how Pongamia pinnata could be harnessed to exploit the proven and potential benefits cited above, in addition to giving valuable information on its genetic improvement and plantation management.
