In the last 2 weeks 2 important events happened in West Bengal. 

Nano moved out and Ganguly puts his stinky feet up. These 2 are isolated incidents and both happen in different sections of the newspaper – business and sports. However I read both and since the events happened close by I have to connect the 2 dots. 

Ganguly – love him or hate him he does hold a mind space among us. There is this IndiaWatchDogs website which was born 3 years back mainly because of Ganguly ( to talk on how to throw him out of the Indian team ).  Or the 100000hours of coffee time that bored techies talk about Dada – for and against. Ganguly has done a great service in entertaining the masses. A salute to him. And of course he has scored some runs in that boring game called cricket – which I have striken off from the list of things that I classify as sports. 

Nano – I am waiting eagerly for it. Its like linux – give it to the masses and they will change the world. It wont take much time  before the dead fossil digester – a  28% efficient combustion engine !! is thrown out and some one puts in a 95% efficient electric motor ( yes – compare the doctored lab notes lying on a Thermodynamics lab and a doctored lab notes of a electric machines lab ). I will get one – no will get two nanos once they do that. So I can carry passengers in one and batteries in another.

Now the 2 or 3 month delay my dear Mamta and Buddadheb have caused is a minor set back. But thanks for upping the ante now before Nano started rolling off the assembly line from Singur – and then if they had done their “politics” – Tata could not have pulled out of West Bengal. Thanks thanks and thanks – for your short term vision in your politics too. Love you both. I will give you a dinner in Leela Palace when you come to Bangalore. Its on me.

Now how does Ganguly and Nano link – is it the beginning of an end and the beginning of a new beginning. Whatever – perhaps Tata ropes in Ganguly to model the car – then my bongers will go boinkers. You never know. Now that will be the Raj Bhog gift back to WB from Tata.
