Government Hospital To Resume Functionality

A government official visited the abandoned government hospital here and made inquiries regarding doctors, nurses and medicines etc..

By the comments of people that showed the gentleman around the place was that the hospital is to resume function.

It is good to know that after so many years the dead hospital will be brought back to life.  The old building lies in a dilapidated condition and so is the one and only ambulance that lies in front of the hospital. (basically the rotting body only)

A new building was constructed behind the existing one. Most likely both buildings will be connected and will serve as one large hospital. (At least at a village level)

Damodar Bridge Completed

Hi... I'd been very busy the past few weeks and there's a lot to write about. I'd like to tell you that the bridge across the Damodar river has finally been completed.  Traffic is not allowed until the red ribbon has been cut but two wheelers some how make their way through.

Sky War


As dusk sets in, all the birds fly to their homes. Sometimes there's a great fight for territory. Christopher D'Costa snapped theses shots with his phone camera at 3 pm a few days ago. 
The sky here keeps changing colour and at times its so very beautiful and at times really scary.

Catch of the Day




I think I should give Bobby the contract for my blog photos. This was his first catch of the day.

McCluskie's Mangoes

This year we have quite a good crop of mangoes but still it is nothing compared to the olden days. This year it is estimated that McCluskiegunj will grab around fifty lakhs from the market, if not more.
Mangoes are being sold by nearly all the villagers. They buy the fruit from groves locally and venture out selling the same at railway stations like Khalari and Tori. Some sell in trains.

This year the size of the fruit has shrunk compared to other times. The reason is another subject for later...
