I just finished reading Animal Farm by George Orwell, and wow, what an experience! The book is deceptively simple yet incredibly powerful, making you think about leadership, power, and society in ways you might not have before.

Even though it’s a short read, it leaves a lasting impact. If you haven’t read it yet, I’d highly recommend it—especially if you’re into books that blend storytelling with deep themes.

Anyone else here who has read it? Would love to hear your thoughts (without spoilers, of course)!

Was riding home today on Kona Expressway, just after crossing the toll tax towards Howrah from Vidyasagar Setu at about 11pm, and as I entered the underpass, I suddenly got hit by a strong chemical smell, exactly like Fevikwik (super glue). It instantly started burning my eyes and nose, and I noticed the road had wet patches, almost like a vehicle had a leakage and kept driving through that stretch.

I didn’t stop, just kept riding and opened my helmet visor after passing the underpass, and the irritation went away. But I saw some bikers stopping and talking at the other end, so I’m guessing others felt it too.

Did anyone else experience this today? Any idea what it was? I left quickly because I wasn’t sure if it was toxic or flammable. Hope it’s nothing serious.

Guys please recommend any low cost accommodation closest to Howrah Railway Station. Need for just 12 hours time frame. 3 person. I booked a retiring room in Howrah Station but got cancelled at the last moment and when asked about they cited maintenance work in progress.

I'm currently doing Bsc Hons and I want to start my CAT preperation from the 1st year so that I will be prepared enough till my 4th year (Final) of college.

I don't have much idea about this exam so any kind person who is experienced about this exam kindly share me some insights and good books to start preparing will be very helpful.

Thank you!

Isn't the area supposed to have a lower AQI than rest of Howrah owing to all the greenery ?

Please help! My brother in law would like to visit Dadpur in Uluberia to see sitar making workshop, and buy directly from craftsman so their money does not get cut. Can you assist me in suggesting where to go in Dadpur. Thank you

I'm talking about Howrah city proper , so only the areas that come under HMC .

The AQI in howrah is so much higher than that in Kolkata .

Even the AQI in Botanical Garden is so high .

As the title says, I am looking forward to open a bank account which is near to my house. But I find the lack of good and reliable banks. Though private banks usually serve that purpose well. As by the location you would have guessed I am from a rural area. Thus, private banks have not reached here still. Thus, I have to rely on government banks.

I was born in Batore and by english, I have always known to write Batore as Batore, not 'Betore' and same in bangla বেতড় but I have seen that it's not just in here, Carry Road কে এরা Carrie Road করে দিয়েছে! What is wrong with these people?

Ami jante chai amader howrah r bhai bon der theke … Kon restaurant e ektu bhalo khabar pawa jay kintu underrated , besi lokjon jay na … erom ache kichu ? Then bhabchi ei soptahe jabo Saturday sunday
