The net is amazing !
Was surfing wikimapia to locate Poteswari tala in Shantipur. One hit led to another and I happened to see a reference of my Great Grandfather - Sudhamoy Pramanick's interest in Sankrit literature in 1316 BS (102 yrs ago)! Also his role in the Satyagraha movement against the Salt Laws while Netaji was being arrested in 1930 ! And this was not a happening metro city - it was a small sleepy town in the Nadia district from a century ago !
Sudhamoy Pramanick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sudhamoy Pramanick (1884– Oct 1974) ( Bengali: সুধাময় প্রামাণিক ) was a bengali advocate from Shantipur. He was the lifetime secretary of the Tili Samaj - in his time he was one of the fortunate Presidencians - a year senior to Rajendra Prasad. He was a social activist of sorts - involved in the Satyagraha movement [1] to campaign for Indian independence.

Another amazing piece is below. A document about Bengali books compiled by a Frenchman from more than a century back, preserved in a British Museum! I guess we have much to learn on chronicling and Infotech yet. Sudhamoy Pramanick's name appears on this page about some Sanskrit work done in 1905 !

New experiences ...
A flight which had to return from mid-air after flying a few hrs ("technical snag"), boiling inside the plane for the repairs, free stay in London, snow at Boston in spring (April Fool's day, thankfully not '97 repeated) and a kilometer long jam on the expressway enroute Pune (two trucks kissed each other) - what more can you ask for ?
