Kolkata for Professionals




While the downsides are always highlighted , nn a different note I would say that Kolkata is an exciting  city for professionals .

Being away from the cacophony of sounds like Mumbai or Chennai , one can spend quality time ruminating and getting one's thoughts and views clear without succumbing to peer pressure.

Secondly motivations are different in the sense that one is fundamentally away from materialistic needs and can pursue the Truth and one's vision in isolation.

With the militancy mindset of workers slowly dying down , I think one will see a fundamental improvement in the work culture of blue collared labourers. No beating the fact that even bluecollared workers here are far more educated than their counterparts in other parts of the country .

With flyovers and the Police controlling the traffic well , one is protected from the numerous traffic jams of Bangalore where I have missed a flight whenever I have gone on work. The beautification of the city continues in right earnest and with new funds coming in for the Metro project , the situation is only bound to get better .

Finally while Bangalore banks on salary differential between India & the West to survive , and shudders at every sneeze from the U.S. , Kolkata has core industries which need to be reengineered and the productivity improved but which are there to stay . More thoughts later.

Spirits of Estonia

  http://www.inyourpocket.com/estonia/tallinn/Spirits-of-Estonia_56060f 1 For some of our readers, vodka might just be some colorless liquid that tastes like rubbing alcohol but goes great mixed in a cocktail. In Estonia however, hard liquor is pretty serious stuff.  Spirits can be made from many raw materials including grapes, potato, and grain. These days in Estonia the vast majority of vodka is made using high quality rye grain. First the raw material is fermented using yeast, which creates a weak alcohol or mash. Next this product is distilled creating a much stronger alcohol. Finally the impurities are filtered off, and water is added to bring the percentage from about 96 to about 40.And that is how you make vodka! Of course there is much to be said about quality and it certainly varies from brand to brand. The world’s best vodkas are made from the finest grains, the purest waters, multiple distillation & special filtration techniques.    A little history   Alcohol wa
